I gotta jump in here and ask why she had the surgery and what the pathology reports of the tissues removed showed? Is she dealing with a cancer situation of a hysterectomy because everything was falling out down below? PLEASE, if it is a cancer in any form do not mess with her hormones as this can greatly exacerbate growth of estrogen dependent cancer cells if that is in this picture. HOWEVER, if the surgery was primarily to aid in bladder control by getting a useless heavy uterus filled with old fibroids off her bladder and restore urinary control, and there was no cancer found, then she might benefit from hormone support. But since we do not know about any prescription medications she is on or the pathology report it is best to support nutritionally and psychologically. After my hyst, I needed progerterone, not estrogin and finally found the bioidentical was sold in health food stores after prescriptives repeatedly made me sicker than a dog needing to eat grass. Also, someone 68 may not have a full understanding of the anatomy and sometimes it is a bag full of reassurance that is needed - that she is still healthy or even healthier now that the useless organs are out and that she is still all woman! Technically a complete hysterectomy means that the whole uterus was removed. A pan hysterectomy means the ovaries and uterus were removed. So exactly what was removed here and why? THEN go for remedies from a naturopathic viewpoint of support. Most people assume that complete means all, and it does mean all of the uterus, but may or may not have involved removal of the ovaries also. With the information given it is safe to support with foods, silver for the extra well being and with a lot of physhological and emotional support while finding out the answers to these other unknowns.

Saturday, September 4, 2010 8:34 AM From: "David Bearrow" <chip...@verizon.net> To: silver-list@eskimo.com It sounds like withdrawal symptoms. The doctors may be assumming due to her age that she went through menopause and was producing no estrogen. However an ovarian cyst could excrete large amounts of estrogen and or progesterone. It may be that she got used to this high level of estrogen and now that they removed its source she is experiancing withdrawal from it. It wouldn't hurt to give her some over the counter estrogen from natural sources. Any health food store sells many different brands of estrogen supplements. If it helps her then we have pinpointed the problem and you could continue to give it to her and gradually ween her off over time. The herb black cohosh might make her feel better also.

A energetic never sick extremely active woman of 68 years recently underwent a complete hysterectomy; within two weeks of surgery she is now depressed has no appetite and has extreme shakes.... she has never had any surgery's' before and it was her first time ever in a hospital. Her doctors are at a loss.... she keeps losing weight; her life is slowly seeping away. Has anyone heard of anything like this? I believe the surgery was prompted because of a sys or tumor on her ovaries. Appreciate any input. thanks connie ____________________________________________________________ BEWARE: Penny Auction SCAM Can you really get a Macbook for $23.86?
