So a few day ago, I slept horribly. Got up in the morning and couldnt remember which way the faucet turned for hot water. We have a new house and been in it 6 months, and TBH this is all on autopilot so not 100% sure I could ever tell you which way it was.. but I would always just know… you know? Well i didnt. I worried for an hour then decided it was just a bad nights sleep. Two days pass and I go to get a vitamin pill, and i get distracted for a second and then cant remember if I took it or not. And then tonight… I cant remember the word for “Dresser” and have to ask my husband. I am now panicking its Alzheimer’s (runs in my family although not early onset). However I also wonder if its somehow stress related as I am going through tests right now on my boobs for possible C….. whats your fog like? This IS fog right

Hi GM,
I was exactly the same as you, I couldn’t remember my date of birth doing a phone security check! I thought I was getting dementia.
I started Testosterone and the fog went really quickly, brain now feels alert, not forgetting word’s mid sentence etc.

Hope your tests go well.

Brain fog, I have it, I can’t remember words of things. I say stupid stuff, gives me and hubby a good laugh. I’ve been living in my house for over seven years and the other day I couldn’t remember which light switch I wanted. And my spelling is terrible, it took me over 5 times to spell “switch”.
And I do and say stupid stuff in public too, I just say “sorry I’m menopausal, and have no idea what’s happening ”
I’ve actually gone to rub underarm deodorant on my lips  , luckily I realised just in time.
I try to not worry about it, and just have a good laugh at myself

It's usual for me.  My friend and I have complete conversations without filling in the words but we get by.

I too often look at the taps and wonder which way  I've lived here since the 1980s.  Names - forget them.  Easily.  My brain feels foggy all the while, like it needs a lot more sleep.

Does Alzheimers 'run in families'?  Isn't it what we called senile dementia which came on slowly in the elderly?  Giving it a name means that research can be funded, research which the government should be doing.

Has anyone taken anything that works for brain fog ? Or any better explanation than it ‘menapause’ I’m 40, but feel like my brain is a bag of sludge…..  been on HRT for 4 months but hasn’t made much difference to my brain.,,,  would appreciate any one who has figured out what might help (I’m on all the herbs) or suggestions in underlying problems…. Thanks
