I am having hormone problems.  I called my dr. this morning and talked to his nurse.  They will call back this afternoon with what we will try next.    I was on a hormone of .8 but it was not enough and I was having warm flashes so we went to .9  enjuvia.  The enjuvia is not working... i do not know if it is too much or not enough hormones but i feel horrible, no energy and irritable about annoying  stuff. My husband said I was acting like i was on a period.     I had some Vivelle dot patches left over and I used them over the weekend and I felt so much better.  My energy picked up and I felt good.    I talked to the nurse about this.   Also I am reading on the hysterectomy board women talking about restless leg so i told my dr that is has just started too.  I figure there is a relationship between the hysterectamy and my legs just starting to be restless.  I had heard of restless leg before ... well to experince it ... it is awleful.  Keeps you awake!     Concerning hystertemy and weight.  The correct or best match hormones is part of what will help with the weight.  Also count your calories and carbs to see what kind of calorie intake you are consuming.  IT is so easy to consume more than we realize.   I have to count every calorie I look at!  I consume about 1200-1400 calories a day.   That is not much food but it is  more than enough to sustain my body mass.
