Hi, hope everyone is doing well since surgery and treatment, !!! If you read my bio then you might understand that things didn't go well after surgery although all my cancer was taken away there were problems due to loosing blood during surgery and other niggles and know I am left with something that I really didn't think about even though I should have known as I am a retired RMN and that is horrendous Menopausal symptoms such as Terrible Sweating, Hot Flushes, Night Sweats, Vaginal Dryness, Headaches, Increased Joint/Muscle Pains and Insomnia. because everyone knows we can't get estrogen apparently there is nothing that can be done as I am on other medications for Neuropathy Anxiety and Depression not forgetting my diabetes medication as I take, High doses of Nortriptyline, Duloxetine, Lisinopril, Shortec Oxycodone, Longtec Oxycodone, Baclofen, Dapaglifozin, Trisiba, Humalog and Mounjaro.
The nurse specialist prescriber was going to give me Venlafaxine but it had a contra indication with the Mounjaro which was something to do with blood pressure, she had said she would get back to me but I am still waiting . I though maybe add in an other depressant such as SSRIs like paroxetine, citalopram, and escitalopram, and SNRIs like venlafaxine, unfortunately nothing yet might have to visit the GP if am lucky with an appointment
.
Hence why I have came back here if anyone has ideas that could help as I am at my wits end with these symptoms in fact any answers or advice is definitely better than sitting with a fan up your bum 24/7.
Now I know I should be happy in fact ecstatic about all the cancer being taken away and not needing treatment after the operation but my mind has never stopped with the questions such as,
1)How will I know if the cancer comes back because I have NO womb for bleeding to let me no if anything is wrong, then what happens if it (Cancer) comes back!!!!
2)Why do I think constantly about none of my family getting past in there 60's no one has got to 70 year old
3) Consistently feeling that I have to tell everyone am ok because I have had the ok and I am cancer free.
