Thank you, you are making me feel so much better. No one told me about this. My memory has taken a down turn, & I am relatively young. I felt like I needed a brain mri or an early Alzheimer’s test. You have such comforting mannerisms.

Thank you so much for making me realise that there is nothing wrong with my memory. Your fridge example nailed it for me. I honestly thought I was getting dimentia! Appreciate your videos so much

You are a blessing from God! Some of my friends did not believe me when I said my memory fog was due to menopause. Thank you so much for this informaition.!

can't seem to read books or focus on things (even things I love) it physically feels like my brain is cooking. I've become terrified I have Alzheimer's and live in fear

I am from America. Thank you ...I am experiencing this trouble. I mixed up names...my secretary laugh at me...and made fun of me. I went home and cried. It was very upsetting.

Thank you so much for this helpful information. I was so worried about myself and thought I was in early stage of Alzheimer's. I even talk to my doctor about it several times. She advised me to drink gingobiloba, and B12 which I take every day, along with physical excersise and brain puzzles. I also read up alot about the brain fog. I feel so much relief now listening to you and reading every one experiences. Thank you so much.

I have also been losing more of my short term memory. I was very worried. I feel I have "cotton wool" in my brain and keep forgetting things. I am in my early 50s. It it quite distressing at times. I don't have "hot flushes" as much as before, but still feel hot surgers in my body during the day or at night.

Thank you so very much, please keep up the great work. it’s so very helpful during this life changes. Brain fog is scary. I’m eating plant based whole food, take bio identical hormones replacement, vitamin and supplements and am still going through this nightmare, including fatigue.

As women, we seem to have to think about everyone else instead of looking after ourselves....start looking after yourself, number 1 priority....most definitely when going through the perimenopause....

[stirandfry]

Hi could you please explain is it good to take hrt or is it better not to and if you did take hrt does the symptoms come back when you stop taking them and do you have to go through it from where you left

[shabnamkher]
