Hi there. I agree with Taz, do ask for HRT. It makes such a difference. True it's not for everyone. I'm on oestrogen patches nowadays. Had hysterectomy over 20 years ago, ovaries didn't come out then, but did 10 years later. I took an HRT break a few years back & was miserable. Constantly exhausted. Flushes & sweats umpteen times a day & night.
