hello- I had my surgery 12yrs ago. I was never told what to except . I just knew I couldn't stand to have those terrible. I had fibro tumors and my periods were awful and pain full. all I knew was that something had to be done. periods very heavy . I had to use a diaper because of the heavy bleeding. anyway I kept my cervix, because I was bleeding so much during the surgery that they needed to close. my question is I have been on premerin 1.12mg for 12yrs. I have tried to get off it but I get very moody and the hot flashes. I am 61yrs old. I thought that I would be ok by now,but just have to keep on it. will I ever be able to not take the medicine.is there something I can do or vitamin or anything else.is this a life time thing. I feel so dumb at my age to have to ask. but I was never given information on this and I have been wanting to ask someone but didn't know were to go. my dr. has moved and I never went back after MY 6WEEK CHECK UP. my husband and I have not had sex in 11yrs. I just never had the desire too. is there any hope for me at this time in my life........ also I had a tubular pregnancy and 2 miscarriage before I was able to conceive. we have four grown daughters. one of them is suppose to have surgery and she ask me questions and I have very few answers. she has the same problems I had. thanks you
