Dashed 'womens problems'!

I apparently started the perimenopause a couple of years ago, was prescribed HRT la-di-da. Well, just lately it doesn't seem to be working! I'm getting hot flushes, headaches, feeling faint etc but most of all my mind has gone to mush. How can I write when I can't think of the right ... er ... um ... oh yes, I remember now - WORDS to use?! I guess I must be in the full-blown menopause now, because whereas before I'd simply forget where I'd parked the car when I went shopping, now when I leave the store I forget what the hell it is I'm supposed to be looking for. And don't even start me on the 'leak when you larf' thing. I now realise, just a little bit, of the frustration that people with Alzheimers suffer, and I'm worried I'm going to turn into a wobbly dribbly old lady. Please tell me I'm not alone in this. And please tell me my mind will come back - at least in part - when it's all over! Ladies of a 'certain age,' it's over to you/
