hello, dianne,

i had hysterectomy...i decided not to use HRT although my doctor advised me to. i tried for the first 2 months but i got scared with what i read about the effects of HRT. so i decided to stop. at first, i was very uncomfortabe, with the hot flashes, vertigo, vaginal pain during intercourse. it even came to a point that i got scared of doing sex. it really frustrated my husband. but i love my husband very much and i want him to be happy. so, we came up with solutions. i now enjoyed our sex life together. regards to the hot flashes, well, i just didn't mind it. if it comes, so be it and not be affected by it. the vertigo was minimized. i realized that stress can be a major factor that would trigger the vertigo, so i take my work one step at a time. i don't bring my work or work related problems in my home. when i'm at home, i relax and had fun with my kids and husband. probably, the very thing that keeps me like this is my strong faith in God and a strong support from my family and friends. there are also lifestyle changes, like having a nourishing diet, exercise, recreation and the like. i hope Dianne, i answered your querries. God bless
