If you thought you had dementia, how long until HRT helpped?
I'm in my late 30's. I've done a CT scan, MRI and a ton of other tests. Nothing was found. I've got a referral to a neurologist and will be doing a memory test soon. It could be peri, though I was told peri wouldn't normally exhibit confusion or memory trouble this severe. I've been prescribed HRT and I'm hoping it fixes me.
For those who thought they had Alzheimer's or dementia, how long before that feeling went away?
I have trouble reading because I don't remember the beginning of a sentence by the time I get to the end. Math is hard - everything is hard. I get confused and can't think. I'm off work and can't even work on my hobbies because they require brain power too. (I think I need new hobbies. Maybe digging in the dirt or gardening.)
The way I see it, I'll only know these cognitive issues are peri if my brain starts working again now that I've started HRT. I do have other peri symptoms, but I need my brain back. I need hope.
