Hello, I’ve been in menopause for approx 10+ years since I had a partial hysterectomy when I was in my mid-40s. Just recently I’ve been experiencing problems with concentrating and following along with other people speaking. I find myself thinking of things I need to do (grocery shopping, errands, chores, etc.) and then realize I haven’t been paying attention to them. I’ll ask my neurologist if I can be tested for Alzheimers and Dementia, but is anyone else experiencing this? A co-worker blamed the same type of problem on her just entering menopause. I don’t think it’s brain fog from Covid because I had Covid ~10 months ago and didn’t have this problem then. Could it possibly be menopause? If so, why now and not years ago? Any thoughts or suggestions?

    I feel you, really. Wandering off in my head and forgetting words. The fact that I am forced to use French and German beside English and my native language doesn’t help. I am forgetting words in all those languages so I prefer to be quiet…which is so not me. You go and get yourself tested but IMHO it is menobeast messing with your mind. Good luck and let us know the results of the test, if you can/wish, please.
