Gail.................I am in exactly the same position as you, but Mum didn't realise she was getting things wrong or forgetting things, so I take comfort in that.

Hot flushes are rare for me, but lovely in the cold weather:))

We all forget things our whole lives, maybe we notice more as we get older as we are less busy with the family etc.

My memory has been total rubbish for 10 years now. I'm 52 and went through the menopause at 42 (with no problems) so assume it is a menopausal thing.

If I don't write it down - I forget it.

Mind you, that does have its advantages sometimes!

No offence taken Gail hun, daddy suffered with it. I have very forgetful moments with my underactive thyroid, it can be confused with dementia. xxx

I hope that this is a (relatively) serious thread.

Being, now, on the other side of 50, who else, of our female friends, are experiencing flushes, and forgetful moments?

I know that with the oncome of the menopause, we can become forgetful.

Unfortunately, my mum suffers from Alzheimers, and I am now wondering if my forgetful moments are the change, or me being mum's daughter.?

I say that light heatedly, and do not mean to cause offence to any other, who has a family member, like my mum, who suffers from Dementia.

Thanks for listening.
