First off, take a calcium and vitamin D supplement at night. The calcium will help you sleep and the vitamin D will help your bone strength AND protect you from cancer. I think the latest recommendation is 800 mg of vitamin D, which is a lot higher than most supplements. I also take a soy supplement. For a while I took EstroSoy Plus, which has black cohosh. It's extremely effective for perimenopause, but I switched to a plain soy isoflavones formula when I started having abdominal discomfort and anorexia. I read that black cohosh could cause certain liver problems, so I figured I better stop it. But now it turns out it's gallstones!
To turn your symptoms around, you might want to start on the EstroSoy Plus and after you fnish one bottle of that, switch to just the soy supplment. The fuzzy brain syndrome and other symptoms are gone for me. But the vitamin D is important for breast cancer prevention as well as prevention of other cancers.
