Menopause or thyroid related?

Hi everyone. As this site is a font of all wisdom and knowledge, interested to hear thoughts re insomnia and brain fog/short term memory problems. I thought mine were thyroid related as on higher doses of thyroid meds I think I’ve solved the sleep and t3 solved the head. However I simply can’t tolerate the dose I need to take to clear both. I start having hyper symptoms. I started to question whether it may be menopause telated Given the symptoms appear in both the thyroid and menopause lists. Has anyone failed to resolve issues with thyroid meds but done so with HRT? Grabbing at straws now 😂😂.
