What a helpful post. You've given so many symptoms of hormone deficiency. Having to deal with it at a younger age sounds awful. You've actually encouraged me to re-instate my hormone levels at a much older age. I got a prolapse two weeks after stopping hormones (ten years ago) and the price I've paid in losing any semblance of a normal life is ridiculous when I realize that just replacing the normal hormonal loss would have solved everything and let me deal with other life issues. Thanks for writing in such descriptive detail. Again, I think we have not evolved to catch up with longer age spans and in your case surgically induced reduction of hormones. My gyn had no problem with my trying dhea which is a precursor to many hormones: estrogen, testosterone among them. Also, she felt if that did not work we could try testosterone cream. The dhea did not work, but I think upping my estrogen (cream and patch) is helping somewhat. I, too, had the hair loss and small re-gain. Never thought I'd enjoy occasional shaving again!
