I'm 43 and had a total hysterectomy 4 weeks ago due to lifeling endometriosis. I had originally wanted endometrial ablation to stop the ridiculous monthly bleeding but was advised to go for hysterectomy and HRT as it obviously offered a more permanent solution.
4 weeks in to the HRT (3 pumps estragel and 1 pea sized dose of testogel) and I feel fuzzy and knackered, I'm having difficulty concentrating and keeping my eyes open at work. I've also got the most terrible stomach cramps which I'm having to take pain-killers for.
Am I alone in these symptoms? And what can I do about them? Right now, I'm regretting my decision as 3 days of bleeding/flooding a month was preferable to this foggy pain!
