Dear Mary,

I really am sorry for your present problems. First though I want to let you know that all Capital letters in a post via the internet means yelling......I know you did not know this so I just wanted to share this infomation with you.

Now to the Menopause problems.

Have you been on estrogen for the past 7 years sicne your early hysterectomy? If not you most likely should have been.

Did you have your ovaries removed at the time of your Hysterectomy?

Is there someone besides you that can explain peri-menopause and menopause side effects to your husband? A nurse or physician perhaps?

Would he read a book about this stage of a womens life?

We are in the process of putting together a special section devoted to Peri-menopaause and Menopause and it will be up and ready within a month. This section will (I hope) be of help to many women like yourself.

Please post back to the forum and lett us a bit more about what I have asked and then we can try to get you on the right track.

Barbara
