Perimenopausal symptoms can go beyond hot flashes and may include sleep problems, psychological distress and mental lapses. Treatment options are limited, but research is ongoing.I'm 46, and there are days when it feels like I'm completely losing my mind. I misplace my car keys, struggle to remember details of recent conversations, and can't recall seemingly anybody's name. To help cope with my mental cloudiness, I always keep an extra set of keys nearby, write endless sticky notes to myself, and frequently opt for the generic "hello" over more personalized greetings.
