thanks for your information will take your advice and see doctor about thyroid testings

Cherie asked you about the hormones because you may need them. Are you having any other symptoms like hot flashes or mood swings?
Some women that have had hysterectomies also have thyroid problems. This can cause weight gain or not being able to lose weight. You may want to have thyroid testing done.
If you decide you do want to take hormones Cherie can give you great advice on Bio Identical hormones. In my opinion, these are better. You may have to do some research to find a Dr in your area that prescribes them. Take care. Remar
