“And because my mum had it I’ve been panicking.
“But I’ve since been told that the ol’ fog brain of menopause, where you get a foggy memory thing, is a real thing and although it’s quite scary it’s helped me calm down a bit. Thinking oh, it’s menopause.
“There are so many things with the menopause. I thought I was over most of it but here I am and I can’t remember anything.
“I can’t remember names, even when I’ve just said hello to someone. I can’t remember where I’ve put my phone, my shoes or my car keys, dogs.

“But it has been a bit scary, but I’m kind of OK now because I think ‘oh that’s the reason’.”
