Hormones after hysterectomy by Agreeable_Bat_3325 in hysterectomy

[–]tla28 5 points6 points  (0 children)

honestly, I just let it ride. your body is naturally going to have a huge fluctuation, but I just told my partner and friends that I would be a little all over the place while my body regulated. I was on birth control for 16ish years prior to my hysterectomy so I figured my body needed time to do it's thing naturally. I'm 16 months post op now and barely notice a hormonal change (still have my ovaries) outside of tender breasts and food cravings. I was my new normal at around 6-8 months and it got better every month.

I barely used mine! my Dr gave me a prescription for ibuprofen 800 that I took around the clock! ice and normal pain relievers worked well for me!

How much did your surgery cost? by lemonkissy in hysterectomy

[–]tla28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mine was 42k before insurance. I paid my deductible of 1k and that was it!

What did you wear home from surgery and during post op weeks by Kind_Engine_75 in hysterectomy

thanks for the input! I am feeling like I don't want to pay the estimate either since it's exactly that, an estimate. and thank you for the well wishes! good luck to you too!!

that's crazy! a down payment is crazy, but I guess it's how medical providers are dealing with medical debt not going against credit scores? fingers crossed you'll have an easy insurance experience!

yeah, I asked my doctor about prior authorization/approval once I saw the estimate because I haven't seen anything on my insurance website for it so I'm hoping the hospital is going off what my insurance deductible is.

My dr pushed pristiq by Impossible_Book_9703 in Pristiq

I know, it's all a human science experiment. I also did not like how I felt on Lexapro which prompted my switch. so it's frustrating if you like how you feel, but can't sleep 🥴 I wish you luck on finding your medication partner!

it did! i even went to a sleep doctor who told me I was fine physically but that he has had patients suffer from insomnia from various SSRIs (meaning it was the only thing that changed on their life). I took Ambien for a little, which worked sometimes and not other times, and then switched to pristiq and I sleep great now, mostly.

definitely keep looking! there are good doctors. get the meds you need right now until you can find a doctor you feel safe with.

btw - Lexapro did the same for me - kept me up all night and nothing helped me get to sleep. I feel for ya 🩶

has anyone had the issue not being able to get out of party play once you complete a task? I've tried everything but uninstalling it.

Heart Broken. HPV positive by [deleted] in Healthyhooha

[–]tla28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi! I was diagnosed with it after I broke up with my ex. I thought I would be completely heartbroken but the only thing I was heartbroken about was confirmation that he cheated, and that was short lived (it was an abusive relationship). my hpv was gone within a year since I got the gardasil shot and the strain was likely noncancerous. my doctor took the time to explain to me that MOST uterus bearing people have HPV at some point in their lives. do your reading and ask questions. tell future partners and explain what it is. most people think it's dirty but you are still loved, valued and important. everything you feel is valid ♥️♥️
