About 1 year after my hysterectomy, my body, for some reason rejects any medication I take. after 6 or 8 months, I start with hot flashes, fatigue, horrible cluster and migraine headaches, at times, I have to be knocked out. I've gone from pill, to patch, to shot, pill, patch , shot etc. The Dr. says there is no trace of hormones in my body. i can not get any help. I am desperate. I have even tried natural hormones. No one knows why this is happening. AM I ALONE IN MY SUFFERING? I can't continue this way. For days, I just crumple. I would have rather taken my chances with ovarian cancer. PLEASE, HELP

What can I do next?

HI C.-

Ditto to what Amanda B wrote. I also deal with the Arbonne balancing cream. But if you are not producing any hormones... I am at lost. But I can tell you I met an amazing woman who is EXTREMELY knowledgable regarding hormone and hormone replacement therapies... call her!

Dr. Cynthia Horner....###-###-####!

good luck!

Hi C.
I'm so sorry for your suffering and I will pray for you. I know a lady named Christy that I'm going to forward this to...her mom is a nurse and has dealt with so much...perhaps she is someone that has some advice. It's worth a shot, as hopeless as I'm sure you feel it all is.
May God Bless you.
Hugs, T. K

C.,
Tori forwarded your message to me. My name is C.. I have also forwarded this to my mother, Karen, who is a nurse. She had a difficult time recently with some similar things. I am hoping that we can offer some encouragement first and then maybe some suggestions.
What is your diet and lifestyle like? I have read and learned so much about how our body functions and requires many things that most of us don't get. It affects everything - our body, mind, emotions, - all of it. My mother had a terrible time and was even put on some anti - depressant meds and some anti-anxiety meds. That made her miserable too! She started learning about some natural things she could do and was able to get off the meds and has been doing great - but she made some changes!
Feel free to email me at: ____@____.com . I will also give your email address to my mother as I am sure she can encourage you in a way that I can't seeing as how she has dealt with very similar things. But we would love to try help you! - C.

I'm so sorry to hear whats going on with you especially not being able to enjoy your grandson. I'm not sure I have the solution to your problem. But have you tried any kind of progesterone cream to kinda balance everything out. I work with a company called Arbonne and the products are great I personally haven't used it but I have heard other women talk about how great it is. They have two different forms of the cream one is for ladies in menopause(phytoprolief) and the other (prolief)is for people lacking the progesterone hormone in their body to balance out. Let me know if I can help my # is ###-###-####
