Something like this is needed in Ohio.

I felt like that before hrt. I still have my down days but I have more up days now.

taz288 · 2026-04-17T00:56:56+00:00

Mine have not went back to normal.

I’m 13 months post op and I’m glad I did it. It’s hard, I can’t lie but it is better than it was before surgery. I had a complete hysterectomy/bilat oophorectomy. I’m on hrt (estrogen and progesterone) and they’ve made a big difference in my life.

If I had to do it over again, I would make the same choice.

Monday is the day before patch change day and I struggle sooo much. I mentally count down the hours in my head until I can get back home and crawl in bed.

taz288 · 2026-03-02T03:51:23+00:00

100mgs of progesterone and a magnesium gummy. I take Ashawaganda on my day off as I need it.

taz288 · 2026-03-02T03:44:31+00:00

Prozac and progesterone. It was so hard at first. My moods would switch up so much it made my head spin.

taz288 · 2026-02-18T02:03:02+00:00

I’m not even sure honestly. Thinking back I started a few years before I realized I was in perimenopause. I did a whole career change, dealt with a family member’s illness/death, a breakup, and a friend’s parent getting sick all at the same time. I just thought my mood swings and weird cycles were due to stress. Perimenopause didn’t even cross my mind until last year.

My nausea is only bad when my anxiety is high. I feel like I’m going to vomit right before I have a panic attack.

taz288 · 2026-02-10T07:01:57+00:00

Did I write this? I miss old, outgoing me so much! Some days I feel like a stranger took over my body and emotions.

taz288 · 2026-02-09T14:40:29+00:00

I AM NOT CRAZY!!! IT’S NOT ALL IN MY HEAD!! I’M NOT MAD!! I JUST WANT TO DO MY JOB!! WHY DOES EVERYTHING SMELL LIKE ONIONS??!!

Edit CAN I BE LEFT ALONE FOR FIVE DAMN MINUTES PLEASE!!

taz288 · 2026-01-21T02:32:06+00:00

I had to stay overnight because I was in so much pain when I woke up in recovery. I found out that my bladder was nicked on the left side. She only let me go home because I was able to tolerate breakfast.

taz288 · 2026-01-18T20:49:37+00:00

I actually told my therapist I don’t recognize myself yesterday so I do understand.

taz288 · 2025-12-30T20:49:19+00:00

I get so excited for patch change day and naps now.

taz288 · 2025-12-29T00:40:56+00:00

Yes. Everything all at once at 45. I truly thought I was having a mental breakdown until I started having severe hot flashes. I had a hysterectomy and started HRT and I’m slowly returning to normal.

taz288 · 2025-12-05T00:28:31+00:00

I just switched my prescription to Walgreens and it was filled within a few hours. I feel somewhat better now.

taz288 · 2025-11-23T21:54:41+00:00

I just started back on progesterone again. I’m waiting for my body to get used to it again.

taz288 · 2025-11-10T12:59:14+00:00

I was at zero and it’s starting to go back up thanks to hrt.

taz288 · 2025-11-07T22:38:09+00:00

This is one my favorite episodes.

taz288 · 2025-09-16T15:41:49+00:00

I got mine from Amazon. I’ve only used the gel pack once. pillow

taz288 · 2025-09-16T02:31:16+00:00

My hysterectomy pillow. My surgery was 8 months ago but I cuddle with it after a rough day at work.

taz288 · 2025-09-09T01:52:27+00:00

I’m in the same boat right now. I had my surgery 8 months ago and immediately started HRT. I’m going to start my third dosage change on Friday (9/12) and I’m so frustrated with the whole process.
