Biggest Regret of my life
I am sitting here with tears flowing down my face.. I wish I could go back in time and change my mind. I had a total hysterectomy this past December and it has ruined my life. The intense pain I had from Endometriosis pales in comparison to the misery I am in now. I don't even know myself anymore. I am an emotional wreck.. No sex drive, depressed and cant look at myself in the mirror due to the severe facial acne and disgusting weight gain. I can't believe that in just 9 months I have turned into this. I dread what else is going to happen to me. I cant believe I did this to myself. Worst. Decision. Ever.

Re: Biggest Regret of my life
I am so sorry you are going through this! Perhaps a specialist in female hormones can help you. I did not have your exact symptoms but they, like yours, were on the list of things that can be causes by hormonal imbalance. If you are using something perhaps it is not right for you. There is a forum on the website about HRT and menopause, maybe you can get more answers there. Best wishes and please keep us posted! Hugs,

Re: Biggest Regret of my life
I know what your going threw, I am 3 weeks post op. The first week is was hell, crying, depression, and very angery. I am so sorry that your still going threw this, but your not alone. You need to call your doctor and get appointment asap. You need to talk with a counslor about your feelings and maybe get on anit depression meds. We are here for you, my prayers are with you. I have been dealing with major depression anxiety all my life. This one of the hardest surgery to go threw. One day I am fine the next I am crying or really mad. Hugs to you and your stronger than you know.

Re: Biggest Regret of my life
I agree that you should get an appt with your dr ASAP. This is not how you have to live after a hysterectomy.

Re: Biggest Regret of my life
Theres is wher i am stuck...I cant just go to my dr. My situation is very different as I live and work overseas, in an undeveloped country. Been here working for nearly ten years. . Came back home to the states last December specifically on medical leave because I had stage 4 Endo which really had me handicapped and immobile at times. Dr recommended hysterectomy and here I am, back overseas with no one to turn to and dealing with this. I find myself singing Taylor Swift's song "Back to December" and dedicating it to my ovaries. Lol..

Re: Biggest Regret of my life
Have you thought about using mail order to get a supplement or cream that would help with your menopause symptoms? I wouldn't know what to recommend, but perhaps you could correspond with your doctor at home.
