World Menopause Day 2022 World Menopause Day is held every year on the 18th October. The purpose of the day is to raise awareness of the menopause and the support options available for improving health and wellbeing. What is Menopausal Brain Fog? Menopause brain fog is a group of symptoms that happens around the time of the menopause, including difficulty remembering words and numbers, disruptions in daily life (misplacing items like keys), trouble concentrating (absent mindedness, losing a train of thought, being more easily distracted), difficulty switching between tasks, forgetting the reason for doing something (like why you came into a room), and forgetting appointments and events. Research studies find that women’s memory does in fact change at menopause, so these complaints are real – it’s not in your imagination. Brain fog is normal and common at midlife. These bothersome problems can affect your quality of life. However, they are usually quite mild and will improve post menopause. I had no idea what was going on with me. The biggest most stand out problems that menopause caused me was ‘Brain Fog’. I began to believe so many different things such as Dementia, Parkinson’s & had no idea I was Suffering with the Menopause. Once my GP gave me the HRT patch, I felt like I was given my life back, a second chance! As for the other diseases, my father suffered with them. If you think you’re going through the menopause, please talk with your Doctor as there are tests that can be done. #Menopause #BrainFog #Support #Women
