On page two in their Patient Information Leaflet – Cardiovascular Disease: What Women Need to Know the IMS explain:

“Research studies find that women’s memory does in fact change at menopause, so these complaints are real – it’s not in your imagination. Brain fog is normal and common at midlife. These bothersome problems can affect your quality of life. However, they are usually quite mild and will improve post menopause”.8
