Hi. I am so sorry for all your suffering as I am too familiar with it all myself. I had a complete hyst in 1997 after ovarian cysts that showed up on ultrasound and since I was 44 the doctor scared me with the big c word. Well after waiting 30 days and being a mental mess I had the surgery and the cysts were gone but he felt since I was 44 I wouldn't need those useless parts so he took them all! Plus cut my bladder. I had a second surgery to unglue my bladder from my insides ,i had severe pain that wouldn't leave. Well the second surgery didn't help either and over the last 9 years I have had too many things done to list but a lot of the procedures were around my constant pain in my bladder area and the feeling like I had a severe bladder infection. I had dmso with all kinds of stuff put in my bladder and it actually made it worse. I tried accupuncture, physical therapy with electrical stim in the vagina, after several years had super muscle but still the same old pain. I have developed various medical problems, thyroid growths, liver lesions, swallowing problems now my bones are going in my neck which has caused numb hands and feet. I know all these conditions are from the surgery and having all the natural hormones taken from me, I will tell some good news however, I have been on estrogen replacement since day one, always the patch, I had to decrease the amount 2 years ago when they found a spot on my liver but during the 2 years I have noticed significantly reduced pain to where I almost feel normal (can't remember what that is though) these doctors are so quick to so surgery on all of us women who are scared to death about what could happen to us if we don't, but after it is all done they treat us like hysterical women! The wonderful doctor who did my surgery told me after I wasn't getting any better, that I had a problem losing my uterus! I could have punched him! I know there are too many women out there who went through this surgery and have ended up worse. I was only married 6 months when I had this happen and I have not had sex since because of the pain it causes, plus the loss of libido, . I keep thinking one of these days they will have a surgery to transplant our organs back in place to where we could be our selves again! Hang in there and know you aren't alone, I have encountered many women through the years of searching for answers that have the same problems and even worse. Wishing you better health
