K9Karen - you just made me spit my coffee out onto my computer screen!!!!! THAT'S one of the things I'm talking about!!

Yes, Donna, it sounds like you're there. I'm going into my fifth year of memory loss etc. Welcome to My World too My kids think I'm mentally ill and need to seek help. If you ever have a chance to see, "Menopause the Musical", go see it. It's hilarious and it will make you feel so much better.

I really started to notice mine back in November after I had that colonscopy done and they started the IV, then the doctor was delayed about a hour. I don't know what was in the IV but I ended up with a horriable headache, like a MIGRANE while waiting for the doctor. I had to cover up my head to block out the light and was working into throwing up when the doctor showed up. When they woke me up after the test, the headache was gone but the throwing up was THERE! BARF!!! Barf! BARF! It was right after that that I started noticing things that I was forgetting to open, close, finish, and loosing things left and right. I had hoped it would wear off with the drugs but it didn't. I wonder now, if I am noticing this much stuff I am forgetting, how much have I forgotten that I just don't realize I forget?

Before that it was like minor forgetfulness, now it alarms me.

Yeah, it's starting to alarm me too. Dr. Hanson said that the HRT would help all those symptoms. I told him I was concerned about the risks with HRT. He told me that I should be, because I'll only be on them for a short period of time and it would be a VERY low dose. If it helps, I'll give it a try.

When I first read your post, I thought, "wow, I bet she is really stressed out right now". Someone above asked about your sleep, preoccupation, etc., and I wonder if it isn't that?

Not that I don't think "M" can do those things, but, my usual beef with doctors and women is that they tie so many symptoms to our cycles! I could go into my dentist and complain about sensitivity, and he would probably ask, "well, are you menstruating"? (No, he hasn't ever really asked that)

Donna ~ I'm getting to "that age" myself. The last thing I do before I leave my quarters is to look down and make sure I remembered to get dressed.

I have a reacurring nightmare that I walk all the way through camp, past a couple of hundred guys and when I get to my office, I realize I'm nekkid! When I realize that I now have to walk all the way back to my room, I wake up!
