DEAR ABBY: I’m nearing 57 and single. My mother, who is 78, lives in the same apartment complex. I always try to talk with her because we don’t have much time together.

Dear Doctor: I’m 52 years old and going through menopause. I knew about the insomnia, night sweats and hot flashes, which get talked about a lot. What’s upsetting is that I’m also becoming mentally less sharp than I used to be. Is this part of menopause, too? Would hormone replacement therapy help?
