Linda, welcome to the world of menopause! I’ve spent too much time around my mother and her friends talking about it and everything you’re experiencing is pretty typical!
You can consider hormone therapy – it does help with some of the symptoms. My mom was reluctant for a long time but after 5 years couldn’t handle the hot flashes and night sweats anymore, and went for it. She’s a lot happier. Many of her friends have been as well.
For the brain fog, you could try something like gingko biloba or ginseng. They’re supposed to be helpful.
Earth Clinic is one of my favorite websites for natural cures to various ailments. They have a page on menopause cures here: http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/menopause.html.
Most importantly, LAUGH – commune with your other girlfriends of similar age and phase of life. You can’t get through it without a sense of humor. Remember to be patient with yourself – it’s going to take a few extra seconds to remember what the heck you were saying or what you ate for dinner last night, and you have to be OK with that. Ask your loved ones to be patient with you also. Stay positive – it’s hard to feel some of these signs of aging, but it happens to all of us. Good luck, sister.
