I feel like I am going mad and not sure where else to turn. BC 5 years ago with rads and chemo and ovary removal; still on Tamoxifen; so menopause pretty much overnight. Five years on and my memory loss and brain fog is getting worse, I am a teacher and I am sat here trying to right lessons but I can’t, my brain is not working and it is overwhelming not being able to do something that I have done easily for 11 years.
My memory is getting worse too, last week I forgot my friend of 30 years name, and keep forgetting important things or telling people the same thing I already told them yesterday. I am 50 and feel like my brain is stopping functioning. Apart from when I had chemo, I had never had a sick day and in the last five years not one day off sick, but this morning I could not get out of bed; I just didn’t want to face the world. I am not depressed, just feel like I am, living in a cloud with everything else going on around me and I can’t be bothered or have no interest in participating. I have a doctor phone call later today but not sure they can do anything. I just need to know this is normal.
