Hi all, my name is Caryn and I am from Detroit. I am 47 years old and managing the ebbs and flows of womanhood in this new dimension. I thought the hot flashes were something else, then the brain fog came along and truly messed with everything I had going on. Some days are better than others with my short term memory. My sleep has definitely been way off since becoming a mom at 36. It has gotten so bad that I went and had a sleep study, only to be told that I was fine. It shouldn't surprise anyone that I have yet to feel rested after sleeping. My appetite is weird, nothing tastes the same, and I feel like I could fight the world. And as much as I like my ob/gyn, the last time I had my levels checked, he (I know) said I was not even perimenopausal, even after all of my symptoms. Am I losing my mind because what am I experiencing then?
