2. I basically missed menopause but I can empathize

I had a lot of problems with hormones and cycles for years and finally found a doctor who recommended just taking everything out in 2002. I used hormone patches for a while but gave them up.

My problems included menopause type symptoms and migraines, all of which went away after the hysterectomy. But the problems had gone on for twenty plus years before a gynecologist was sympathetic and willing to help me. My mother had a horrendous menopause that basically lasted fifteen years so I was happy to avoid all of that.

Take care of yourself - it's something half the human race just doesn't understand.
