I didn't think they were routine, either, and I am certain my obgyn would have mentioned it, he's not the type to leave out important details.

I am 38. Just found the hystersysters site, and wow!! Women, just like myself!! Not just the hyst, but also the ovarian cancer/borderline cancer talk.
I will discuss hrt options with my OBGYN, and ask if even something like a Wellbutrin could help? As far as the depression symptoms listed that I noticed on the site over there. With anything natural, I'll need to communicate with all my doctors to ensure there aren't any adverse reactions, etc.
Now, if I could also find a hystersister that has MS. If it's not one thing, it's another.
Does feel like this is fast moving, but with this family history of mine, this is the best course of action for me and my family. I'm sure, my boys can handle me in tank tops and short shorts. Similar to beach wear anyhow.

I need to formulate a diet, rich in calcium, magnesium and potassium, along with vitamins C & E. I'm sure I can find something, don't need that osteoporosis effect nor the heart troubles, either. Good thing, I am already being treated for anxiety and insomnia.
