Hi, Mrs Janet, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe you are aged, 55 years, and used HRT, and left it one year ago.
The weight gain, and altered memory may be due to the age changes, or hormones.
You may or may not need hormone replacement therapy, i advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis andd treatment.
You may need to have a C.T.scan for excluding the ischemia of the brain.
Avoid taking fats, oily foods, junk foods, and fries to avoid the over weight.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
