Worse menopause symptoms

Hi Phoenix, I  can understand what you mean. I had a late menopause at 56 and was then diagnosed with cancer stage 1A grage 1 at 58, following  My hysterectomy I started to get ocular migraines  which I had had while going through the menopause, these didn't  last long I only had a couple! I  also started to  get a few hot flushes  which had virtually stopped  before my hysterectomy.  I put this all down to  having my ovaries removed, storing up any lingering hormones! I  am more or less alright now it will be  two years since my surgery in August. 

Take care.

Thanks Carolina

Not just me then! I had TLH and BSO at 56, post menopause (or so I thought). My periods had stopped a few years before. Then 3 weeks after surgery the hot flushes started again. I assumed this meant my ovaries had still been active in some way right up until they were removed (kicking and screaming?). I also had brain-fog, not sure if that was the shock of having cancer or whether it was hormonal. The hot flushes carried on for a couple of years. Nothing severe in my experience but I felt very hacked off at having a 2nd menopause.

 Hi Phoenix66. Sorry to read you're feeling under the weather. It might be a good idea to have a chat with your CNS or failing that your GP.

I was long post menopausal so can't offer any help, sorry.

You could ask the advice of Ask a Nurse here on the forum (just click on the link) but you might have a day or two's wait before getting a reply.
