Can this really be hormones??

I have many symptoms that are clear I am in perimenopause but then there are symptoms I am experiencing that I am scared that could be something else. I have maybe 1 wk a month where I feel GREAT, I feel like my old self. then it's like I hit a brick wall. when this happens I can barely function. I have extreme fatigue, weakness, knee pain, anxiety, migraines, and the worse symptom of all is a weird hard to explain feeling in my brain. it is like I am in a haze, I cant make decisions, I cant get things done like simple things, I could literally just sit and stare at the wall if that makes sense? I absolutely hate this feeling the most. there is nothing I can do to help this, I have to literally wait for it to pass, which is usually right when my period ends and then I'm good for the wk or so and then it begins all over again. can perimenopause (hormones) make you feel this bad? I am scared I will never come out of this. maybe it's not even perimenopause related

I experience the same. I haven't had a period for two years however I still seem to have a week/two weeks of feeling ok & then the symptoms return. I have started HRT which seems to have helped with the hot flushes, however it hasn't helped with the my head. I too feel as though I am in a haze & feel detached from reality - & yes, I could just sit (some times I do!). This is by far the worst symptom for me. I just keep telling myself it will pass. The joys of being a woman!

Hi, yes! I had same brain fogs, very bad ones,.. Its less now but its there a bit mild.I even had slurred speech and was kind of slowed down, thought I had dementia or something ... soo scary, sometimes I could not realize where I was, very confused and I call it" getting stupid" feeling. Fatigue was so bad , I could not function followed extreme hunger... it was sudden onset, weird indeed!
