I had the same problems and the doctor/specialist put me on Hormone Replacement Therapy (estrogen). My "brain problems" were migraine headaches!! I have been on the HRT for 9mths now, but don't like being on it because you here so many horror stories don't you, eg increased risk of breast cancer, thrombosis, etc. Would love to know more about the Chinese Medicine you mentioned...I presume it helped with your hair loss, etc. Toni Sinclair (I'm 41yrs, not menopausal yet)
