Well, since the surgery I have pretty much just slept when my body has "told" me to. I slept through the night Tuesday and didn't require much sleep during the day Wednesday, but I did rest in bed most of the day. Wednesday night I again slept through the night but was up and around most of the day today and didn't eat until after 8:00 p.m. this evening. I literally had to force myself to eat because I had no appetite. At this point (11:37 p.m.), I feel exhausted but still haven't been able to sleep since I awoke at 7:00 a.m. this morning. This is day 3 of taking Estrogen and I haven't had any other complications since the surgery Monday.
I really do appreciate your help. This is all new to me and I want to utilize all the resources I can. I am also fortunate to have a wonderful doctor, and I'm sure if these "issues" I am having continue I will contact him for further assistance.
Hello S_Chappy,
I applaud you attitude, One of the first steps in complete healing in being satisfied with your treatment plan. I question you sleep schedule? Now that you are on hormone replacement therapy it could take you body sometime to adjust to the new hormone levels. If you are still having concerns six months after surgery consider seeking professional help from you primary care provider.
Best wishes,
