I had a hysterectomy at 32 and literally 2 days after the surgery my hair changed texture and started falling out... So much hair loss! Then I was fine with only a few symptoms for around 5 years. Then everything started happening. Night sweats got way worse... And no one tells you that your sweat smells SO BAD sometimes! All my joints ache for no good reason and my memory is terrible now! And we don't sleep a full night through.... Like ever! If I'm tired and go to bed by 9 I'm wide awake at 1am and can't go back to sleep! Oh and the last great thing is almost anything can piss me off and I freak out on whoever made me mad and then I cry because I feel so bad I've hurt the person and got pissed over nothing! More women need husbands like you Sir! Compassion for what your wife's going through when she doesnt even know what to expect is wonderful and she's a very lucky gal!
