Linda1962, hey my name is Martha. I had another hysterectomy in February to finish taking everything else out, so now they say I am going thru the change. My doctor put me on hormones because the hot flashes, night sweats, but I was having them day and night. I couldn't take it anymore, I thought I was going crazy. I had never heard of the patches. This will make you depressed, moody, and a whole lot of other things. My estrogen pills worked for about 6 months, I started back with the hot sweats, so my pdoc took me off of them. I haven't been having anymore,knock on wood, so maybe you won't have to wear the patches forever. I was feeling the same way that you do, and I couldn't figure out if it was the surgery, depression, bipolar,etc. they told me that you have to realize all of your female parts are gone, your body is going thru so many changes, it's like you can't keep up with everything. So what you are feeling and going thru is normal. Each week as your recovery goes by, you should start feeling some better. On your recovery period, please do what the doctor's tell you to do so you can heal properly, and you may need to have more time than what they tell you. Only you know your body and how you feel, so if you need extra time, make sure you tell them. I hope I helped in some way for you. I wish you a very good recovery and I hope you feel a lot better. Please take it very slow. Have a good night. *HUGS*
