Hi Meemsma! Welcome to the Forum! You are wise to monitor your temps just now, what a rousing time for the old hormones! Mary53 is a font of knowledge on managemnt of menopause, try doing an "Edit" and "Find" on "Mary53" Meems, she's got first-hand info! MV
Though I don't know about surgical menopause (I do however, know about the normal one!), my gut feeling is that your temp should NOT be raised, at least not unless you are in the middle of a hot flush(I can't say I have ever checked my temp when inthe middle of one). Maybe someone else knows something I don't know, but a raised temp.......? I certainly don't have that all the time though I am in my menopause.
I had intense burning with my surgeries. That diminished after a while. It seemed like forever, though. Just know the pain will go away.
Still working on stomach muscles,
Danielle
Surgical menopause is the pits! I was 26 when I went through it, and it has been one crazy rollercoaster of ups and downs. I remember my Dr taking my temp at the hospital and it was slightly elevated during a hot flash - it's smart for you to keep an eye on it though. Good luck with your hormones!
Remember, you are only 6 weeks post op. You have had a lot of internal tissue trauma and you still need to let your body heal. You may have overdone it. Monitor your temp and keep your dr. informed. Also, try to take it easy for the next couple of days. If the pain goes away, then you know that you indeed did overdo it. It can take up to 1 year for your body to completely heal from the surgery. As for menopause, yep it sucks alright, but Mary53 is so informative when it comes to bioidenticals, you should try to find her posts in the archives.
