But im in peri-menopause just now and ive found since starting that my short term memory is sometimes shocking..like sheena i can go from one room to the other to do something then when i get there i stand and think 'what the heck did i come in here for' :doh: lol. I just thought maybe it might be that causing you problems as i know your menopausal too. These are some of the symptom...the joy of being a woman :)
Sore joints/muscles - muscle weakness and fatigue
Hot/cold flashes - nightsweats
Memory loss/forgetfullness
Rapid heartbeat
Irratability/moodswings/tearfullness/depression
Insomnia
Anxiety/feelings of dread and doom
Difficulty concentrating/dissorientation
Bloating
Headaches
increase in allergies
Hair thinning
Electric shock sensations under the skin
Gum problems/burning tongue
Weightgain
etc..
Yes I can identify with a lot of those symptoms and that was before I started the citalopram.:unsure: I went on the menopause at 34 first time and I noticed my hair thinning and memory going straight away. The doctor gave me some HRT but I didn't feel right on them so I stopped taking them and everything went back to normal for a while and I even had another baby.:whistles:

MART/JT69 - Just nearly wet myself.
that reminded me of a joke that my partner told me at xmas time - he came in from town and told me there was an alzheimers society protest/march on in the city centre - he said they were shouting "what do we want - we don't know - when do we want it - want what?"
