I had a TAH on Oct 5th. My mom bought me some herbal tablets & some cream. So far the herbal tablets are helping as far as I can tell. My problem is with the cream. It says to use it for 21 days-then stop for 7 days. I used it one time. The next day I had a major attack of what I call PMS.
I use to get it pretty bad every month & am glad my other half finally listened to me after 3 years of arguing once a month & started helping me thru it instead of fighting me thru it. Made it alot easier to get through that way lol.
I have not used it since & have had no reoccurences of the PMS . It's Pro-gest Body Cream.
The 21 days on then 7 days off is what gets me. It's like similating a period. Once the 21 days stop it's instant PMS.
I am not using since that happened for fear of a reoccurance of the PMS symptoms.
So far I have not had any other moodiness other than being bored to death with not being able to do anything. I feel no different than before I had the hysterectomy other than the boredom.
The lady said it helps with hot flashes & overall helps you feel better but it didn't chance my additude until I didn't use it -of course it may be just a coincidence but I don't think so since I have had no other major mood swings since then.
The hot flashes I can live with - my other half sleeps fully clothed most of the time since I have to have the fan on at night. He's real good about that actually thank heavens.
Anyways any help on this is appreciated. I am thinking of sticking to just the herbal tablets & not using the cream if I have to go through the moodiness each time I quit using it. Not worth it if that's the case.
And to be honest the one time was bad enough that I am scared to risk it happening again. Even my other half had a hard time with this attack of it & he's gotten pretty good at dealing with them in the last 10 or so years since I finally after 3 years of major problems each month was able to help readjust his thinking on how to deal with PMS each month lol.
Thanks for any info anyone can give.
