Is this brain fog?

Help. I've never had it before because I started HRT as soon as I had the usual symptoms but not brain fog. I'm trialling coming off HRT by reducing from 2 pumps gel to 1 and after 11 years and my brain feels addled.

Today I misread a business email and sent a terse voicemail in reply only to find I'd misread the email. I could die from embarrassment. I've apologised by email and voicemail.I'm forgetting what I had for lunch sometimes, unless I really think. I'm going into rooms and not knowing what I went in for.

I wrote an email (again, work) and used the wrong name - similar to what was needed but not the same.

I'm worried as my Dad died from dementia but he was very old.

It sounds like it. I have it as part of a chronic illness. In my case, I can't follow simple instructions such as recipes. I read them over and over again and can't make head or tail of them .

Sounds like I have complete blanks where words or thoughts are. I feel Ike I'm going mad
