I am 56 years old. I am still in peri-menopause. The worst of these symptoms are concentration issues. Brain fog is very strong. Sensations are very distracting also, such as warm flashes. Anyone else experience the same?
I have invoices and taxes I still have to do. I should be in bed but my mind is stressed. These things need to get done very soon.
I am afraid if i go to bed I will oversleep. Alarms do nothing. If my body won’t wake up, I will just lie there.
Yes! However I would say is the other way round - peri menopause makes my ADHD worse. I wholeheartedly recommend HRT if you are not taking it.
Thanks, I agree, but I will skip HRT for now.and try other alternatives.
Why???
Too many risks.
Not really.
I'm with you on that. I had a hysterectomy at age 30 and was started on HRT. Everything we tried turned me in a raging bitch, and synthetic estrogen is linked to breast cancer. So, I finally stopped all synthetic hormones and replaced it with bio-identical options (like natural progesterone cream). Worked wonders!!!
Oh my gosh! So sorry to hear that. That must have been a difficult experience to go through, physically and emotionally. 😔💖
It wasn't fun - but it was without a doubt a learning experience. 😏
You really should look into HRT again. The consequences of not taking it are worse. Some old/faulty research regarding HRT have been re-evaluated, and basically thrown out. Every day you wait counts!
Have you talked with your doctor about adjusting your ADHD medication ?
No I haven’t. She thinks I am a druggie with the small amount I do take.
Dear gods. I wonder if they ever behave that way with a diabetic who needs to increase their insulin. 🤨 That kind of attitude really gets to me. I would highly recommend switching doctors if that's her perspective.
If you don't take your ADHD pills for a day, Will your ADHD be worse than before taking meds for a time?
