Hello Kate_C
I found your hotflashes intreasting with endo. I have endo, sever adhesions and an endometrioma cyst on both overies. I have been having alot of pain during ovulation and have started to experincing hot flashes and even body aches like if I am getting the flu but after a few days it goes away and then happens again around that time. I know things are a mess inside so who knows. I told the doctor but with everything else going on inside she didnt really have a answer what the exact cause could be.

I will be 4 weeks post-op tomorrow, no ovaries, and I have that nausea/sense of doom/passing out, feeling with hot flashes too. I have more at night, and have had a few night sweats too.

Elona- Yes it oddly took care of the hot flashes... Have you been tested for your hormone level?

Suze,

I have requested having my levels checked and my doctor just acts like that is a stupid request. Saying that you really can't tell anything, because one level might be good for one and another level for another. So it is better to just go by how you feel. Well, I told her, I don't feel well. She just wants to adjust the ERT and I don't want to without the test. So we are at this impass. Getting really tired of doctors.
