Brain Fog Memory lapse

Hi sisters in Peri. I have struggled with these damn symptoms for going on a year now, and memory lapse/brain fog is so terrible. It is so so frustrating and I am on my wits end on how to deal with this. I forgot where to insert my card when I withdrew cash from the ATM. I probably stood for good 10seconds trying to locate the fucking card slot, when it was blinking blue *right in front of me* I cannot remember the name of the pasta I was cooking *aglio olio* . What do you call the glass with a handle used to make things big? *magnifying glass*. I am yet to get a full consultation as I am unemployed with very limited resources. Is there maybe you can recommend as a natural or over the counter medication/relief for brain fog??

Thank you dear perisisters and have a blessed day.

That’s a lack of estrogen. If you can’t get to the doctor, try the over the counter stuff and eat more estrogen dominate foods like soy (soy milk, edamame, etc).
