The doctor left my ovaries but took everything else. This past year has been the worst. I feel like a fifty year old woman (hope that doesn't offend anyone), but I can't seem to get my doctor to understand what I am going through. They think it's in my head but I know my body. The doctors have ran all types of hormone test and say that I am fine. But I know otherwise. My doctor even tried to put me on klonopin which I later found out was an anti-depressant. Why won't anyone listen. I am going nuts. I sweat non-stop(especially on the hand, underarms and feet). I have gained probably 5 lbs. a year and I have always been able to burn my weight off, but I don't have the energy to anymore. I also have sore breasts alot and went for a checkup and found out that I have like 7 cysts but my doctor didn't seem too concerned and simply said to cut back on the caffeine. I am going crazy. My hair is falling out more so thatn before. I don't really have any problems sleeping, as a matter of fact I go to bed earlier than I used too because I always feel worn out. I get light headed and dizzy and sometimes I have what I think are hot flashes but I'm not sure. I also am cold alot but am sweating at the same time. Please explain to me whats going on and how long this could last. Is menopause worse than the pre-menopause? Please let me know. Thanks, Darcie.
