I need to offload

This website/blog has been such a none starter, I always wanted to create a space to share all my vegetarian meal ideas etc, but I get caught up in the whirlwind that is life and never find the time somehow.

Anyhow, completely off topic, today I had it confirmed that I have gone through early menopause, my Vitamin B12 is also very low.

The B12 deficiency is a fairly easy fix, I’ve to go pick up a 2 week prescription of jabs, a booster course as my lovely doctor put it, then after having 3 jabs over 2 weeks, I will have a top up every 3 months for life,  thats great 👍

I thought I was quite ok about the menopause thing,  but as the day goes on…I’m not sure I am. I’ve always had awful periods, even with contraception to try and ease them, should I be glad they’ve ended? I don’t know if I feel a bit cheated? And i’m also worried, is my aging going to be accelerated?

In a brief discussion over the phone, we touched on HRT, thats a bit complicated too  I’ve a history of DVT so that puts me at risk of some options of HRT, my doctor is going to consult with a Gyno, of course I do want to take care of my bones, Heart and brain, so i’m keeping an open mind on my options.

When I went to the doctors last week, my main focus wasn’t actually my absent periods (haven’t had one since last July) for a very, very long time, I’ve wondered if I have autism, however, the more I have learnt about ADHD, I think I have that too. After going through the referral questionnaire during my appointment, that referred was sent off for a referral assessment, I have a questionnaire I was sent home with regarding Autism, I still haven’t finished it.

All this stuff that has come up about myself, crumbs.
