Thank you the welcomes and information
Periods before is tricky due to the fibroids they were extremely heavy most of the time and much longer periods, I was at one stage having 2 periods a month
I didn't appear to have flushes as such but can feel uncomfortable in the heat, other symptoms I have which I assume are most either peri or post related are:
Tingling in fingers and toes
Achy joints, so painful at times
Palpitations
A kind of internal tremor sensation, so weird
Insomnia this is hideous at the moment but I guess it could be worse after surgery
Dizziness
Nausea feelings
Headaches although not as often as previous
Crashing fatigue, this currently is really awful I assume could either be post op or meno
Tinnitus
Awful sensitivity to sound, has anyone else had this?
Sore breasts
These tend to come and go through the month and generally at varying levels.
They're checking thyroid and full blood count too, I've recently had vit D and iron tested as ive struggled with those, this time last year my d level was 7 and that together with fibroids, iron and folate deficiencies had a huge impact on my health.
Normally I am very active, Pilates is my favorite exercise and my diet is pretty good too.
Am I correct in saying you still don't need progesterone even if you have your cervix? I wanted to check as my surgeon referred to the cervix as lower womb a few times. Last year I was prescribed Esmya I had such an horrendous time on it I am dubious about taking tablets as such, if it was beneficial to my health I'd certainly be open to patches or gell? I've read estrogen protects the heart, bones and can prevent alziemers is this true? Really like so many I just want to feel well again.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post
