I agree CLKD, this does feel different. I used to regularly go to quizzes, but now I find I cannot think of the most basic things-common knowledge things. My husband will tell me I've seen a film or programme and i would swear I never have-i just have no recollection. The scary thing for me is I can't join tasks together anymore-i have to concentrate to do one thing, but trying to remember something else is impossible. Apparently it does get better after menopause-i truly hope so.
