I have the same problems but I don't know how to go about telling my
doctor what I have found out in this group. WIll he believe me? He said
my tiredness and low libido was a mild depression and gave me medication
for it. It just made me sleep more and eat more, hence more weight gain.
I haven't had a peroid for 4 months and after a ultrasound was done they
found I have a "bulky uterus" and a large fibriod growning in my uterus.
He said they usually don't do anything for this but keep an eye on it.
How do I make him realize how I feel without him just pushing it off and
saying that people that are unhappy are apt to get sick more often. Who
said I was unhappy is my question? What does it have to do with hormone
replacement decisions or surgery?
