Hi girls, I'm just going through another menopause energy 'dip'.  I get sooooo tired and everything seems just too much.  My brain struggles to function and work out everyday things.  I keep going and press on but I'm so very tired,  After a couple of weeks it passes and I get back to myself - anyone taking anything herbal or alternative to help with this?  I'm 3 years without periods and just feeling very old and tired.  I've not taken HRT - should I give in now and try it?  Any ideas?

    Please have a look at hypothyroid symptoms and if you have some of them, perhaps worth asking your doctor if you could have your thyroid levels checked. Its very common to be hypothyroid around menopause, and it usually causes exhaustion, brain fog and weight gain.
