RobiLee,
Check out this website. It helped me tremendously after my hysterectomy.
I’ve been on the estradiol patch for almost 2 years and doing great.
No hot flashes or mood swings.
I do have some brain fog and trouble sleeping, but this could also be a sign of stress.
I hope your doctor can find something that will work for you.
