Brain fog, lack of focus and generally feeling flat.

So I am on HRT patches but recently I am really struggling at work and things are really getting on top of me. I feel generally flat and cannot seem to get through tasks at the same pace or juggle multiple things at once. Is this a menopause thing or something else like old age that I have to accept.

Feeling flat was fixed by an increase in oestrogen for me. I think testosterone has helped with my general energy/drive too.

That is interesting thank you. It is hard to know whether this is hormonal or if perhaps it’s a vitamin deficiency such as B vitamins or iron perhaps. I guess a visit to the GP might be on the cards.
