Kirsten - please register at Hystersisters.com - there are SO many women there going through every form of this situation there - and you will also get very useful feedback there.

Please don't worry about perhaps needing meds for a while...it is like a cast on your leg when it is broken - you need it for support while healing occurs.

ALL women, sooner or later, lose their hormone supply - some can have hormone therapy, some can't.

Check with your doctor - and please check out the resources on the hyster site. The women there are wonderful and very supportive!

PTrs are really supportive too - it's just that at the hyster site, everyone is there because of gynecological surgery of some kind or another.
