My body is attacking me: is it menopause or something else?

I have never felt this bad before when it came to my body. Today, when I woke up to get ready for work, I had a bad stomachache and felt weird, and a little disoriented. I found myself just walking back and forth in my room not really knowing what I should be doing, get ready for work, or figure out what is wrong. It was the weirdest thing. I get dressed and I am driving to work, I felt so nauseous but hoped it would go away. It did not! I clocked in, sat at my desk and felt this “deep” feeling in my stomach and decided go home. I felt like I was going to “up chuck” but did not wanna do it at work. I prefer to do that in private. I decided to just go home; I cried all the way home because so much has happened to my body, that I don’t know what’s wrong. That was the moment, I knew I was broken. I felt like my body was attacking me.

I am forgetting how to spell words, print or things at work, I am forgetting if I did. I am starting to worry, what if I forget to turn the stove off, or forget where I live, or my kids names. Luckily, I see my OB and my General doctors this week, so I can get answers and more importantly, help. Full disclosure: Before I did my edits, I struggled to spell the words Scorpio and the word struggled. Over the last two months, I had to send my boss and my colleague text messages, asking to check on somethings I did but could not remember if I completed. At 47, is it early stages of dementia or is it symptom of menopause?
