I think what you are experiencing is normal. Your body has been through a lot and your ovary just needs a little time to balance itself out. I experienced the same things as you when I went through my recovery and it scared the daylights out of me. The hot flashes eventually went away. One of the things that surprised me the most during recovery was how exhausted I was. Just walking across to the bathroom took absolutely everything out of me, but little by little, one day at a time, it got better. in there sweetie. Right now
just get plenty of rest, drink plenty of water and walk a little. Things will improve. You are still early in recovery and things won't always be this way.

I'm one week post today also, LAVH 4/20. My chin is still breaking out here and there so that's a sign of hormones . I did have night sweats last night, but from what I read that can happen as we recover.

Thanks. I dont feel like myself at all.
