Question about fatigue (and brain fog)

Not a good sleeper in general and have suffered from night sweats, insomnia and compromised sleep for more than 2 years now, but still managed to have energy to do everything (always been an energetic person). Hit by debilitating fatigue now and what I think is brain fog.
* I've been on HRT for 1.5 years, this year upped to 2 pumps E gel + 200mg P. According to gyne, I am menopausal.
* I exercise almost daily - until this fatigue hit.
* I mostly eat right, could surely do with more protein but that can't cause such a sudden slump right? Vit. B, thyroid, ferritin levels normal. Zinc and iodine in blood tests seem low/borderline, but no Dr has ever highlighted this? Anyone suffers from this?

  1. If you suffer from fatigue, did it come for you in peri or did it occur some time after menopause? Did it creep up on you or did it just crush you suddenly?
  2. What is your fatigue like? Are you unable to function as you usually do?
  3. Mine is sometimes accompanied by what seems to be an 'off', 'not quite there' feeling bordering on dizziness? I am here but not here. Is this brain fog? I am also more forgetful and have more trouble concentrating.

Thanks all !
