Living with POI and Brain Fog 

Calling people with POI - a study from Kings College London on brain fog- read on. @lauranaysmith

​Living with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and struggling with symptoms like brain fog , difficulty remembering things and poor concentration ?

We are running an online study with cognitive tasks that will test your memory, attention, problem-solving skills and a symptom survey. We want to explore:

- What does cognitive difficulty feel like in POI (“I forget what I intended to bring with me, i.e. my phone”, “I forget numbers, like my PIN number”),

- Do current POI symptoms (like low mood, poor sleep) relate to how people actually perform on thinking tasks?

- When POI symptoms are worse, do memory, attention and other cognitive skills also get worse?

Research on women’s brain health, especially the long-term effects of early loss of ovarian function, has been limited. By taking part, you can help address this gap and contribute to a better understanding of how POI may relate to memory, attention, and thinking skills.
