Brain Fog getting you down? Wondering what the hell is happening to you? You're not alone.
Annually, around 47 million women enter perimenopause and menopause https://impactsofmenopause.com/.
Many of us have NO CLUE what the heck is happening! Perimenopause and menopause have been taboo subjects for so long. We aren't taught about this 3rd life stage. Puberty and pregnancy are discussed openly. Peri/menopause still is not. This is changing though!
Our bodies change in so many unexpected ways during peri/menopause. Each one of us has a totally unique experience. My journey will be very different to yours. But, one thing is certain. Our brains are affected (to varying degrees) by decreasing estrogen, testosterone and progesterone and cognitive changes often follow.
If you're here, welcome. It's uncomfortable to discuss such intimate and personal issues, but, rest assured, I am here to help. I'm not a medical expert, I just know what would have helped me at the time when I was on struggle-street. I did go through a horrendous perimenopause (still am). I thought I had early onset dementia or a brain tumour. Why couldn't I think clearly? Why was it so hard to find or recall information I previously knew intimately? Brain fog was my worst symptom. It took me 4 doctor's appointments to get properly diagnosed as being peri-menopausal. Just this morning, I forgot the word for 'gynecologist'. I had to point at my vaginal area and say "the lady who looked at that". OMG!
Please, be wary of influencers and websites claiming to be able to cure brain fog with a tincture, pill or some other type of non-scientific hoo-haa. Most of the time, they're peddling mis-information and outright quackery and only after your money. Menopause is a growing industry, and many seek to take advantage of women who are often at their most vulnerable, at their wit's end, seeking immediate relief. I will only reference scientifically acknowledged and peer reviewed information, authors and credible sources of information.
