I suppose this is the new normal for me as I’m discovering by learning about peri menopause, never would have guesses that it could affect the brain and pretty much all the body systems the way it does.

I agree on the actual reading speed. Even though I read less during my slowdowns, I still read what I read at the same speed.
I don't doubt that the changes during and around menopause can have an effect on the brain. With the large changes in the hormone environment, how could they not? I hope you come out of it one day and return to your accustomed reading rate.
