I have been a runner for a very long time. I am in my early 40s and during the last year I've started to feel horrendous after running. It physically feels like the origin of the problem is coming from my abdomen (after running I become incredibly bloated/swollen/water retention in my abdomen but also everywhere in my body). It also feels like running is triggering whole body inflammation. Has anyone else experienced difficulty with running or other intense aerobic exercise and is there any way this is related to perimenopause? Or is this coincidence and some other problem is going on? Thank you so much for any and all advice. I've been struggling for almost a year now and I am pretty desperate to figure out what is going on. (editing to add that I am not on HRT and don't have any other signs of peri that I know of)

I have been a runner for a very long time. I have adenomyosis (and in early 40s) and during the last year I've started to feel horrendous after running. It physically feels like the origin of the problem is coming from my abdomen (after running I become incredibly bloated/swollen/water retention in my abdomen but also everywhere in my body). Has anyone else experienced difficulty with running or other intense aerobic exercise and is there any way this is related to adeno? Or is this coincidence and some other problem is going on? Thank you so much for any and all advice. I've been struggling for almost a year now and I am pretty desperate to figure out what is going on.

I am looking to buy my first Halo after a lifetime of horrendously stringy hair. Has anyone bought either of these colors before from Sitting Pretty - bronde or cool blonde blend? The pictures on the website look basically identical and I cannot find any other photos on social media of the cool blonde blend. I'm concerned the bronde might be a little too dark and I am not able to do exchanges because of where I am living. Thank you so much for anyone who has seen either of these colors in real life!
