Thank you for this important and excellent essay Kristi. As I was reading the first third of it my mind was screaming PERIMENOPAUSE so I was happy to see that addressed so thoroughly. While I don't have ADHD I certainly suffered from all of the brain fog, anxiety and other mental and emotional distress that made me not feel far from myself. It sucked. I have found significant relief with hormone supplementation but, as you stated, it took some experimenting. I am happy to say that I feel I've got it well sorted out with the lowest dose possible (much lower than a medically recommended dose) and I hope you are able to achieve the same good results over time. xox

Brava!!👏👏👏

This is so informative and well put together! We have to keep talking about this.

I’m so sick of doctors dismissing symptoms as “just part of aging” or “probably nothing”.

It IS something and it can be improved by doctors who know the deal.
