Title: Concentration
Post by: Arson on February 22, 2022, 02:02:19 PM

Hi. This is my first post so please be kind ☺️. My concentration is appalling, I’m really struggling at work. I’m on HRT. Does anyone recommend anything?

Hia Arson,

Can you give us a bit more info, flesh out the bones a bit. What dosage HRT are you taking, is it keeping your other meno symptoms at bay?
Are you having hot flushes? Apparently, brain blood flow is reduced during the menopausal hot flushes, so it's not unusual to go blank at these times.
Are you taking Testosterone also? Both hormones are said to help with cognitive function.

Hello Arson. Welcome to the forum. Like you, I have very poor concentration. I get brain fog also. I know that does not help but just wanted you to know you are not alone in that.
