I am still keeping the doctor appointment but something bizarre happened to me - I got my period. It has been over 14 months since I last got a period and probably over 3 years since I had a "real' period. You know, all five days. Most periods at the end there were like 2 days and not a lot.

This is a real period. And now I am wondering if the pains were part of massive PMS that was flying up on me and I didn't know it.

Sure solves a lot of the issues. But since it has been 14 months since I had a period I had thought I was in menopause. But I guess not. I will run this all by the doctor but I have a feeling this is probably a big clue.
