I thought it was early onset of dementia, but a psychiatrist said its perimenopause. Did this happen to you, and if so, did your ability to speak in complete sentences return after you made the transition? This is humiliating.
This is not normal. You should really seek a second opinion vs trusting 1 dr and an internet message board. It really does sound like EOD, which needs treatment right away to at least buy you a little more time.
Then, I guess I have dementia, too.
And everyone else on this thread. It is normal PP.
The thing that is most frustrating is that I used to be extremely articulate - vocabulary was my thing. Now I find myself looking for alternate ways to describe something when the perfect word I am reaching for eludes me.

Yes this exactly. Try to get testosterone, it’s helped me feel sharper.

Yes. Estrogen +progesterone helped, but testosterone was the game-changer for me for mental sharpness.

It is embarrassing to feel like a dotty old lady.
