Vent from you know where........

Okay girls. Sorry to be such a whiner but enough is enough. On top a huge list of peri-menopausal symptoms I now have burning tongue and legs pains that are keeping me from ANY sleep. If this sounds familiar to anyone please write. I tried HRT that seemed to make things worse and have been off of it for a while now. Misery loves company. Hyst is scheduled for October 1st (we changed it from the end of this month because I was too run down) Back pain, leg pain, mouth pain.......where does it end?

Thanks for the vent.

I got he same things except for the burning tongue. I am worn out! On top of all this stuff I am going through physically, our garage was robbed last night for the 4th time in 7 months!
So tired of all this. I spoke with the nurse today and told her how things were, she said just wait till your surgery hon, you are going to feel like a new woman!
It was very re-assuring! She said lots of women get these leg aches and back stuff going on with uterus problems. And after about a week to two weeks out of surgery, she said I will be feeling like I can conquer the world! I said I didn't want to, I just want no more pain and a good night's sleep. She said she would put that on the chart and make sure I get at least one in the hospital!
Sweet lady and she is the dr's wife too so I know she can make it happen!
Hang in there Sweetie---it won't be long now! Lots of hot baths and a frozen bag of vegies ont he low back really helps the pain!( I prefer these as apposed to an ice pack as they confrom to any shape you are putting them on)
Love and hugs!

Mindy,
I didn't have any mouth pain, but I can relate to the leg pains that keep you up at night... Mine would start in the lower back and hip and shoot down my legs.

I am (as of yesterday) 3 weeks post op TAH/BSO and I feel wonderful! Outside of the little aches from surgery. I am not sleeping well, but my assures me that this is probably just surgical stress related and prescribed me a sleeping pill.

Just hang in there. Waiting is the worst part. You will feel so much better after surgery. Until then, I will keep you in my prayers.

For your reassurance that I'm not alone in this. It shall pass. Can't wait for surgery at this point.


Love to both,
Mindy
