I think this is the story of the average woman who goes through this...It is not fun..Takes a while to recover and healing does not happen overnight...It took me months, but I had my ovaries taken out too...

Good luck,
Caroline

Yes, I realize about the healing process, because I am still really sore. I guess though what I'm really wanting to know is, with the ovaries still in and me having the mood swings like I am, will the doctor put me on some kind of hormonal medicine to straighten me out? Do they do this with the ovaries still in?

I was just looking and I think they do...You could ask the doctor at the top of the page this question if you want to...It is on the left and you just hit on it and come to where you can Topic...I really can see how it could cause mood swings as it is such a shock to our system....

i just had my partial on may 12th...i cant even stand being with myself...my moods are so off the wall i'm going nuts.i have an appt. with the doc 2day 2 find out what's going on...i'll get back to you with any answers i can help with....kim in nh

I posted to you this morning and came on to edit a word and deleted it by mistake.. .I have to say that I laughed when I read your post..."Your moods are off the wall and you can't even stand yourself"...Hopefully you now have a good excuse for this...I believe after you go through a surgery such as this, that you have every right in the world to feel like you do...Heck, even shout about how you feel...You hurt...It does not go away easy..They have turned around everything inside of us and took some things out...Who wouldn't be moody?????

Relax and get your strength back...You are the same woman you were before this surgery, only lacking the mess of a period...Now enjoy this special place in life...Once you get used to not dealing with the mess that we used to have to go through, you will just love it...This I can promise you...

Take care,
Caroline

omg...ru kiddin...it feels like it will never end..noone will visit..lolcould be a good thing i guess.i went to doc,he checked my hormone levels and imagine they were normal...4 who?i really dont know...i even yelled at a neighbor i dont know because i felt at the moment she was walking her dog in an inappropriate place....geez....what a .itch i am...o well...she'll get over it someday..lol...i even got a hair across my butt and canceled my bday party....i uninvited about 25 people........im praying and god has earplugs in...what the heck??????take care....kim

You are only a month out of surgery...You still have your ovaries so you should be doing pretty good...Seeing your hormone levels were normal, that is great...We each heal different...The only thing is that they do not tell us that it will hurt so much...Between you and I, I think a lot of the problem has to do with the fact that they took this special part of us out...We feel empty...I remember the first time we had sex it was pretty tight and painful...Those were the "faking it" days...As I felt better internally, I acted better on the outer side...Took a while, but eventually I got the two places of me to jell...I think more than anything that we just plain feel sorry for each ourselves....

I felt like crap...I didn't want anyone at the hospital nor to visit me...I only found out that I was normal when a few friends had this same operation and felt the same way that I did....This became my shinning moment...Mine was behind me....Now rest and look forward to your new life...Reschedule that birthday party and have fun....You know we have both been blessed...This could have been something tragic...

Good luck,
Caroline

I had a partial hysterectomy 4 months ago. I only get moody right before I was SUPPOSE to get my period. I have all the signs. Sore breast and severe moodiness. I don't get the severe pain I use to get with my uterus in tact. I had adenomyosis and endometriosis. My urinary bladder, stomach and intestines were attached to my uterus like glue. It was a horrible undescribable pain. I guess what I'm trying to say is I'd rather be a moody bi... than go through what I went through. You can get treatment for severe moodswings. PEACE!
