Endometrosis

Hi Ladies...
I'm new here, this is my 1st posting, So I wanted to Start by Saying "hello"...
I suffered from Endometrosis from my very first period, at the age of 12. And by the age of 23 I was going through a Full Hysterectomy. It had to be one of the hardest decisions of my life to make. At 23 your thinking about having a family, being married, and planning out your next 60 or so years, not about having a full hysterectomy.

It is a very hard decision for any woman of any age to cope with, and the thing I don't hear alot about is how you feel afterwards. By that I mean, the mood swings, the depression, the panic attacks, the feeling of not never baring a child, the questions, and wether or not you'll do Hormone replacement. Then you still will have to deal with the low energy, and sleepless nites, and the Hot Flashes.
Now they are saying that woman shouldn't be on HRT for long periods of time so what are we suppose to do, suffer I guess, or chance it.

Anyway, I believe you need to do what you feel will benfiet you in the long run.I'm not trying to scare you by telling you all the negative stuff, but I hate to see you go in without some knowledge of how it maybe afterwards. I wish you the best, and keep us updated. If you have any questions please feel free to email me anytime....
Take Care & All the Best
