I started to have major flooding and flashes, so went in and had several surgeries. Finally last summer I had the big "H". What a great thing it is to have all of that behind me! I do still need the hormones to be comfortable, but on my own I decided to cut back to every other day, and that pretty much works. I also had read that you have so much more energy when you're finally "there". I kept waiting for the energy, but take heart! It does come! I do feel great, strong, energetic and ready for most anything! The problem is the road getting here is long and rough, but hang in there, it's worth it! [Wink]
