Hi @arpie,
Thanks for your thoughtful response.
Im trying not to take extra medication to counter the medication im already on. I just wee a bit when i cough now. The hotflushes are a pain.
The lack of get up and go bothers me.

The most annoying thing is how much effort i put in to not achieve diminishing waist.
Yesterday I bench pressed 35kg! Im weight training to improve metabolism and increase muscle. I guess Im lucky to be healthy enough to do it.
Oddly I felt great this morning in terms of fatigue. I slept really well. I mean every part of my body hurts muscularly but its an exercised hurt!
