To be utterly pissed off with everything? Anybody else?

[DeepestBlues]

I'm having severe hot flushes after a total hysterectomy after ovarian cancer. Sex life with lovely partner non-existent as the 'urge' has disappeared. Ex-h total tossport - hasn't contributed towards our three kids for nearly ten years as on minimum income through self-employment. I work full-time to keep a leaky roof over our heads. Partner looking for employment after being made redundant but not getting many interviews and as we live in a rural area there's not much hope anyhow.

Nope, me too. My DHs mums was diagnosed with cancer 4 months ago, my best friends dad (who I'm very close to) has been diagnosed with osteoperosis, and my dad, who is my hero, has just been diagnosed with cancer.
I hadn't told my best friend yet, so when she told me about her dad i (obviously) went into full sympathy mode, all the while crying inside. I found this out tonight so I'm now sitting with a HUGE morgans so apologies for any typos but I'm a bit drunk.

Just think about how brilliant you are doing. All that shit going on and you are doing it.
There is hope because of you and all you've done.

[DeepestBlues]

Oh dear Eyes! Welling up even more now! Why is life so hard?

[LizzieArcher]

So sorry Blues and Eyes

I'm guessing HRT is out the window because of the cancer, I'm so sorry. I think most remedies produce oestrogen which isn't ideal. Could you ask your GP for anti sweating meds?

I'm sorry things are so tough for you right now, I hope & pray things pick up soon. You deserve a break. Sending sparkly fairy dust.

Autumn No, I can't take HRT or try many of the herbal remedies unfortunately. I've tried a low dose of antidepressants but they made me feel a bit too 'spaced-out' so stopped them. I'll probably give them another go sometime. Giving myself a kick up the wotsit today to get on with it! Thanks everybody!
