Desperate for help with menopause brain fog

5 replies

Morning!

The menopause brain fog and lethargy and anxiety are making my life difficult. I literally don’t feel like myself anymore, and tbh It’s frightening me.

Are there any supplements / medications (outside of HRT which doesn’t help me with these symptoms at all. It helps with others though so I’m not anti HRT) that you swear have helped you with this?

I hear talk of Lions Mane but I’d love to hear some unbiased feedback from actual real women, not someone trying to sell me yet another supplement.

Can you help a woman on the edge?

Bumping for you. I’m also stuck in the cloud of perimenopausal brain fog and oh my god the exhaustion!! Yesterday I literally felt as if I had had no sleep and a massive hangover - despite having cut out alcohol about 3 months ago.
I haven’t tried HRT yet - I suppose it would be a good first step but interested to hear alternatives

Thankyou for the bump.

HRT didn’t touch these symptoms for me. I really do need some help with it.

You might get more help on the Menopause forum.

I thought I’d get more traffic here but I might ask for it to be moved.
