I Know My Body: Finding Your Voice at the Doctor A Menopause Appointment Guide & Workbook

You know when something feels different. Finding the words to explain it can be harder.

Intense hot flashes. Night sweats. Interrupted sleep. Mood changes you are trying to understand. When symptoms affect your daily life, you deserve a conversation that takes those concerns seriously.

Inspired by Sharonda Lynn’s own experience of asking her doctor about menopause symptoms, I Know My Body is a 24-page digital guide and workbook designed to help you prepare for appointments, ask clear questions, and keep track of the plan you make with your clinician.

You do not need to arrive with a diagnosis. You can arrive with your experience, your questions, and a little support putting them into words.

Inside, you will find:

• A personal opening note from Sharonda about hot flashes, night sweats, disrupted sleep, mood swings, and the importance of being heard.
• Practical ways to describe symptoms, their timing, and their effect on everyday life.
• Questions about evaluation, tests, treatment choices, costs, and follow-up.
• Respectful scripts for moments when you feel rushed, uncertain, or unheard.
• Guidance for discussing sensitive concerns, requesting clarification, and seeking another opinion.
• Information about warning signs that should not wait for a routine appointment.
• Six printable worksheets: appointment snapshot, symptom notes, medicines and health history, questions and answers, options discussed, and a follow-up checklist.
• Links to clinical information and resources for finding care.

Your experience belongs in the room. Use these pages to help make your next conversation clearer, more focused, and more useful.

Format: Digital PDF guide and workbook, 24 pages including the cover and sources. Read on your device or print the worksheets. This is not an interactive fillable PDF; use a notebook, printed pages, or a compatible PDF annotation app. No physical product is included.

Educational appointment support, not medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or a substitute for care from a qualified clinician. The guide has not been medically reviewed and does not promise a diagnosis or a specific outcome.
