I am going through alot of emotional things right now and I’m not sure if it’s the hormones or if I could be suffering from depression. Either one is hard to talk about with anyone but I need to do something. I’m still mostly regular, but have been having the hot flashes off and on for years. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I have been on depo lupron for 6 months already and let me tell you it was a struggle. I had all the side effects…the nightsweats, hot flashes, tenderness of the breast with pain, mood swings like crazy. I’m starting to get a little bit of the pain on one side and it’s very faint but am scared that I would have gone through this for nothing. They told me they would either put me back on for treatment…which i will not do, i dont want to go through that again…or maybe do another laporoscopy. I haven’t gotten an answer yet on what needs to be done.
First of all I want to thank all you gals who answered my Pre-hysterectomy questions a few weeks earlier and shared your stories with me!! I need you to share again….
It is now week 2 post-op. Had the full open surgery and am healing fine. I took my own staples out (the day before the doc was going to remove them) for they were driving me nuts, poking me from different angles. Went to the checkup a week after and my doc was surprised I hadn’t had any hotflashes yet . I have had no hot flashes but have been warm on a few occasions but nothing like the horror stories of sweating I have been told.
I feel tired way to much in my opinion and yet do not sleep well at night. Is this normal ? Will this be life from now on ?
I am sore, achy, headachy & pale and wondering how long this is suppose to go on. The doc. says, of course, 6 weeks is recovery. I just want you gals to share with me your post experience now to sort of calm my anxieties of what is going on.
