Toni------YOU HAVE MAIL. stacey w

Hey, everyone thanks for the info. I guess I need to go to the gyno. I am not sure if I am having thyroid issues or perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms. My mom had a hysterectomy when she was 28 so I don't have her to look to. Boy Usta sure is "full" of information eh? Everyone together.......Thaaaanks USTA!!!!! Thanks to all of you for your insight. I appreciate it. God Bless----Toni

USTA sure does have a vat of info in her hip pocket eh ladies??? HMM wonder if she is a doctor in drag?

you are welcome. us girls have to stick together. that reminds me,,, it's bath night. usta

We were beginning to wonder USTA! We all knew you missed the last bath night so this is good news.

A few years ago I suspected I was going thru menopause, but blood tests said no. I was happy about that. About nine months after my WLS, I started bleeding. Now mind you, I've been taking shots of depro provera for 10 years for my endrometrosis. I thought it was because of the death of an aunt, and other problems. This lasted for a week. It began to happen more often, and the nurse said it was my hormones. Why didn't this happen sooner? When I got my shot in July, the doctor did a biospy, which came back negative. I got the hormone thing again from the nurse in October. On December 29, I'd been bleeding for SIX weeks!! The nurse didn't flinch when I said that. I wanted to talk to the doctor and she wouldn't let me - he was too busy. I told her that the doctor told me to call if I had any problems, and she said if I had called the day before she could have seen about it. She told me to make an appointment for the following week. I told her that I couldn't afford it and I asked her if it could possibly be menopause and she said no, every quickly. Then she left. I bled for 3 1/2 more weeks before it finally stopped. I told my psychologist about the incident and she asked what made her an authority on menopause?? I do not get hot flashes or night sweats. I have nothing to go by as my mom had not gone thru the change when she had a hysterectomy at age 42 and her mother was 55 and had not gone thru it when she had her hysterectomy. My depression and mood swings have been a part of my life for many years, so I can't blame menopause for that. I wish you the best of luck and I hope that you get the answers you need!
