Retreating

Hi, I’ve just turned 50 am on Hrt last few years I can honestly say I feel like not bothering socially. I could happily live alone in the middle of nowhere. Everything feels like an empty effort. Until last couple of years I was always looking for career improvement and constantly planning trips away.

Part of this I feel is the awful brain fog I experience. I’m a health care practitioner so I have to be very careful. I can be in conversation and forget someone’s name ! It’s all so limiting.
Help ! Does anyone else experience this .

Also I used to enjoy a few glasses of wine that would always lift me up now and even a glass I feel awful anxiety the need day !

Im actually looking forward to retirement when I can just stop.

Have you had a review of your HRT? You should- every year or maybe 6 months. As you get further into post meno, you may need a higher dose of estrogen. What are you on now?

What work do you do? Nurse, Pharmacy? Dr?

Have you colleagues who are up to speed on HRT to advise a bit?
