(This is me, right after I had a complete hysterectomy. It's been several years, but this time in my life is indelibly imprinted in my mind....)
On the outside it appears as if I have everything a woman could possibly want. I'm living a fairy tale life with a wonderful husband, extraordinary daughter, and a beautiful home. But on the inside I am crumbling.
Disintegrating. And slowly. I'm trapped in a body that I no longer know, as if my mind and heart have been plucked from my old, familiar body and thrust into a new one that is not only foreign, it is falling apart.

Medical professionals receive little or no training regarding women’s hormones. Herein lies the problem.
There are at least 96 research reports that come out every single day. Of those 96, a doctor is lucky to find time in the day to read one or two. In recent years, the powerful connection of hormones and the overall health and function of a woman’s body has been given slightly more attention than in the past. We still have far to go.

(HealthDay News) -- Giving hormone therapy to women in the first few years after menopause doesn't improve memory, although it does seem to increase sexual interest, a new study found.
The study looked specifically at combined hormone therapy, meaning estrogen plus progesterone, suggesting that progesterone could be the active factor.

Thankfully, my days of hot flashes and evenings of night sweats are a thing of the past.
For me, what finally worked was to get on the correct medications. Once my hormones were back in balance, these unpleasant (to put it mildly!) symptoms went away.

A Canberra woman suffered severe psychological distress from being thrust into early menopause at 44, the result of what she claims was a botched hysterectomy five years ago, a court heard yesterday.
Dragica Lubjic, now 49, launched a civil claim for assault and negligence against obstetrician and gynaecologist Sydney Robert Armellin in the ACT Supreme Court for wrongfully performing a full hysterectomy when she had asked for only her uterus to be removed.
