Lower Abdominal Cramping

SHARED by stllalr on August 11, 2008 - 9:54am

For about 3 or 4 weeks now I have had this cramping pain in my lower abdomen. I finally went to the gyn about a week and a 1/2 and she said that my uterus is slightly enlarged and to come back in 3 weeks for a sonogram. Well in the mean time my period has started and the pain is worse than ever. Yesterday I doubled over in pain and took some tylenol which dulled it enough to make it through the day. My period is really heavy and I have even had to start taking iron because I was anemic for a while. I just keep taking tylenol to help me through the day but that is getting old.

Dry Skin after a Complete Hysterectomy?

ASKED by Michelle King Robson on May 2, 2008 - 7:02pm

My skin is so dry after my hysterectomy. I didn't know what to do. Has anyone found any products that have worked well for you? The doctor never told me this was going to happen to me.

Menopause symptoms

SHARED by Debra J Orr on June 11, 2008 - 6:45pm

As I try to write this I am Flashing. I had a Hysterectomy 2 and 1/2 years ago. I am 55 years old. Ever since the surgery I have massive mood swings,hot flashes and night sweats. I can't sleep without a sleeping pill and now I add a muscle relaxer because of my resistance to the sleeping pills. I take Estratest but does not seem to help much. I have been on anti-depressants for 20 years my dosage had to be increased since the surgery. I read your article in the newpaper today and copied it at work.
