I want to ask the community something: looking back, what was life like 3 to 5 years before your symptoms showed up?
Were you working extreme hours? Going through a difficult period? Under-eating to manage your weight? Not sleeping? Perimenopause beginning?
Often the pattern makes sense in retrospect. The body was adapting, protecting itself the only way it knew how.
Sharing this timeline is about finding the root, not finding blame.
