I am new to this website, I picked up the website from the az republic "Health trials are catalyst for women's medical site"
I had my hysterectomy 3 years ago and unless you really need the operation I would not recommend it. It took me six months before I was able to feel better. I don't take any medication, I exercise by walking 2 miles a day and on weekends I ride my bike. This is the best way for me to help with depression. I feel wonderful, I am 54 years old, I am very independent and I just take by menopause symtoms as they come. My children are all grown up so if I become whiny and irritable my Husband helps me by massaging my neck and pampers me. I do have trouble keeping my weight down, no matter how much I work out. I eat healthy, try to stay very active, I don't know if its because of my age or menopause. Oh well!!
