How to Cope With Menopause Memory Loss

Menopause is the end of menstruation, and can be a very difficult time in a woman’s life. Most women experience a variety of symptoms as a result of the onset of menopause, including weight gain, hot flashes, insomnia, night sweats, vaginal dryness, joint pain, fatigue, dry eyes, itchy skin, urinary tract infections, short-term memory problems, and fatigue.

Menopause Memory Loss

Out of all the different symptoms that you may experience with menopause, menopause memory loss is definitely one of the most complained about. Many women report that their menopause memory loss is so extreme that they can barely even function normally because they find it so hard to wrap their brain around the regular tasks that they used to be able to perform so easily.

If you are one of the many women out there suffering from menopause memory loss then first before anything else you should know that you are not alone and that short term memory loss is very common and can be treated.

Memory loss is a natural part of aging and most people experience it at least a little, men and women alike. Menopausal women often complain of it even more however, and find it difficult to retrieve certain information when they need it. Although it was once thought that the decreasing levels of estrogen in the body were the main cause for menopause memory loss, doctors now believe that there are a number of other factors at play here as well.

Keep Your Mind Sharp

Whether you have started to experience memory loss or not, it is important that you do things to help keep your mind sharp so that you can keep your brain in tune and feel less confused and better about yourself in general. There are a few great methods that you can use here, and for one you can activate your brain, even by doing the simplest things such as completing crossword puzzles or brainteasers.

You also want to make sure that you get plenty of rest, as fatigue is one of the most major contributors to menopause memory loss and memory loss in general. Menopause and insomnia often go hand in hand, but it is necessary to try and get some sleep. You should try first on your own but if you are having difficulties here then using sleeping pills may be a good idea so that you can feel more awake and refreshed during the day and relieve your menopause memory loss.

Anyone here take estrogen? How about testosterone? I'm low on both and tired of feeling lousy. I've put it off for years. So, I thought I'd see if anyone else uses these, and if they helped.

Have you ladies noticed any changes with your teeth and/or gums? Yet another fun part of this rollercoaster!

Peace,

Yes! For about three years, when I'd been noticing peri symptoms for a year or so, I had the most terrible problems with my teeth. For some reason the root of one of them decided to start growing and ended up piercing my sinus; as I was on steroids at the time (for an unrelated medical condition) I didn't feel the inflammation that was going on there until the damage was done. Took my dentist ages to get it sorted out. Then I went through a time when my gums were bleeding every time I cleaned my teeth. My dentist said that he sees lots of women of our sort of age who have never had much trouble with their teeth and then
suddenly all sorts of things start to go wrong. So I guess there mustbe some sort of connection. Thankfully it all seems to have settled down again now and I haven't had to have anything done for several check-ups now.

Actually, I just had a check up within the last few weeks, and my teeth and mouth are in great shape.

almost 13 weeks without seeing "Auntie Flo". Does that make me anti-flow?

I have. My teeth started to loosen and I had to have gum surgery. I also had to have one pulled, it couldn't be saved. I asked my dentist about it since this happened the same time I started into perimeopause and he said no, hormones wouldn't cause this. I researched a little and found out that yes, it can.

I think it was upsetting my stomach. One of my husband's doctors had told him that was a common side effect. I was on generic.
