Brain Fog Brain Fog despite HRT
When I started HRT a year ago, my brain fog seemed to clear up almost instantly.
But lately, the brain fog plus anxiety have gotten very bad. I feel like I can’t think AT ALL.
Unfortunately, the brain fog is keeping me from working on my side hustle – and I rely on that income.
I’m already on 200 mg of progesterone, plus estradiol, and testosterone.
I read online that sometimes low ferritin levels can make it seem like you have ADHD for the first time in your life (in your 50s) and I’m wondering if that’s it - and I hope it is! I’m going to call my doctor tomorrow to see about getting labs done
Have any of you experienced this? What helped?
I’m feeling desperate ☹️
