One month post hysterectomy - Well hello there PMS... ��

I'm embarrassed to admit it but I had NO idea I would still experience PMS every month since I kept my ovaries. Has anyone else experienced extreme symptoms? What would normally be sore breasts were so bad I couldn't wear a bra for two days and honestly didn't even want a shirt or nightie touching them. What would normally have been a "period headache" was so painful I was literally throwing up for hours. Had my four week check up yesterday and my doc acted like I'm crazy... 😬

your dr. acted like you were crazy? nice.
I hope that it's not always as bad as this for you. ((hugs))

Mine was like that as well, for about four months after my surgery. For decades prior to the surgery, I would typically have a somewhat sore chest for about three days before my period started, have one night where I had trouble sleeping, and be in a lousy mood during that time.

For those four months, my chest felt like two bruises, I couldn't get my eyes to stay SHUT for that night, and I was in an absolutely unholy mood.

It did level off afterwards, though. Currently, my pre-menstrual symptoms are about what they always had been, and maybe even a little milder.

Your ovaries have been through a bit of a shock and may need some time to adjust to an altered blood supply. If it cleared up for me, it may for you as well. :-)
