The left side of my brain feels like it is stuffed with cotton! - Menopause Message Board

I have had this problem for about 4 years. I am 54 years old. My last real period was almost two years ago.

.This is how I feel on a bad day:

• The left side of my brain feels like it has been stuffed with cotton.
• I feel depressed
• I would prefer to be alone if I could
• It’s hard for me to talk
• It is hard for me to smile
• It is hard for me to think
• I have little ambition to do anything
• Everything I do takes real effort
• I screw up a lot at work

Then, chances are, the next day, I am a totally different person. I am basically my normal self with energy, enthusiasm, and sharp as a tack. I’m finding lately that I’m starting to feel depressed on my good days because I know it won’t last.

I've been seeing an alternative medical doctor, and I'm feeling somewhat better. Has anyone gone through this? I've had an MRI and my sinuses checked and eveything came out negative.

My mom has a lot of problems with her left side. She said sometimes it feels like someone just smacked her in her head. All tests she has had has come out ok.

Thanks for taking the time to write me. I guess I'm not alone.
