50 and finally made an appointment for next week. Okay so I need help knowing what to actually BRING. Like what did you track before you went in? I've been keeping rough notes on my phone but it's mostly just... "bad day, couldn't function" which feels embarrassing to hand a doctor. The fatigue piece is what I really want to talk about because the bleeding I can describe but the exhaustion is harder to explain. Some days I genuinely cannot make dinner. Like I stood in my kitchen last Tuesday holding a can of chickpeas just staring at it. That was dinner. Chickpeas out of the can. My husband said nothing and I loved him for it. Did any of you write down how the tiredness was affecting your actual daily life? Work stuff, driving, that kind of thing? I feel like if I just say "I'm tired" she's going to tell me to sleep more and send me home. I want to come in with something real. Something she can't just wave off. Any format you used that actually helped would mean a lot right now. 🙏
