Overies Are Gone...now What?

[randk]

HEY GALS, i AM GETTING READY TO GO FOR MY 6 WEEK CHECKUP AFTER A HYSTERECTOMY AND i NEED SOME HELP. I HAD DECIDED THAT I DIDNT WANT TO BE PUT ON HORMONES BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN THAT IT HAS REALY NOT HELPED MY SISTERS MUCH (PROB RUNS IN THE FAMILY) AND WHEN THEY MISS A DOSE IT TURNS THEM INTO A SUPERBITCH. BUT NOW THAT I AM LIVING THE NO HORMONE LIFE THE HOT FLASHES ARE DRIVING ME BONKERS I JUST CANT IMAGINE GOING TO WORK AND SWEATING AT INOPORTUNE MOMENTS, NOT TO MENTION THAT I NEED SOME SLEEP! I REALLY DONT WANT TO TAKE SYNTHETIC HORMONES...ANYBODY KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE NATURAL ONES? THANX IN ADVANCE FOR ANY AND ALL SUGESTIONS K

I can't help you at all with this situation, but can your doctor recommend some alternate routes, or at least some "support groups" or some where to talk to women who have been in the same situation?

I will recommend a book that FitFossil recommended to me -

Natural Hormone Balance for Women by Uzzi Reiss

You can get it on Amazon.com. It's a great book all about natural hormones. Even if you weren't looking to use them, it's very informative about how hormones work in a woman's body.
