Like a lot of women I see posting on here, for me, the symptom that bothers me most is the mind fog.
I used to be so mentally sharp. I was bursting with ideas and had all the energy and drive I needed to execute them. Working 7 days week and late into the night used to be fun. I loved being productive, putting my mind to work and successfully finishing projects.
Lately, it's like all of that is just gone.
I feel like I've gone from firecracker to burst balloon over the last few years (I'm in peri).
The HRT (oestogel & utrogestan) is helping, I'm not as forgetful as I was, but the mental sharpness isn't back. I also lack the drive to push myself physically in exercise as much as I used to.
I just want to know if there's any hope of it returning. It'd make me so happy to get that mental agility and "oompf" back.
Or if there's no hope, if this is something I just need to accept about getting older, I'd rather know.
Does anyone here have experience of feeling like I do now who got back to where they were pre-meno?
