UPDATE: Aftermath of hysterectomy
It's been over a year, close to two years since I've had my hysterectomy, and slowly over time things have improved, which I didn't think was going to happen. It took a lot of trial and error, with eating different foods, vitamins, and hormones, to see what worked and what didn't. Finally I'm slowly getting back to my old self, starting to study more, getting back into working out, and now, blogging from time to time, more then I did months ago.
The last week or so, I started getting hot flashes, since then I've been taking zinc, and now changing my diet, and working out hoping that it helps with the symptoms, so they don't get worse. My mood has been very stable, more stable now, then it has been since I was in high school, and that's saying something. I guess, I went through late puberty emotionally, because throughout my 20 it honestly felt like an emotional roller coaster, basically a living hell. Now finally in my 30's, I feel way more emotionally calm, and collected. My flashbacks, are very rare now, they don't happen as often as they did before, so I'm very thankful for that.
Even though a part of me doesn't want to, I know by eating healthier it will help me out greatly in the long run, then by just eating whatever I want, that way my hormones stay more balanced and not so out of wack. That way, I can actually function as a normal person, weather it's working, studying, working out, or anything else I need or want to do.
The last few months, with the oils I've been using on my hair, and washing my hair daily, my hair has slowly started growing more and more, and getting thicker as well, which is very nice, now it feels much more soft, and not so dry and flaky. Even my skin feels smoother, then in has in years, from me eating healthier. I honestly didn't know that by eating healthier, it could actually benefit you so much in the long run, I honestly thought it was all just talk when I was little, I didn't think it was so important, now looking back, I wish I would have eaten healthier, and not eaten so much junk food, I honestly think it would have helped me a lot growing up. But I guess it's normal, for the average kid to prefer junk food to healthy food. I'm glad I don't drink any alcohol at all, one less thing for me to worry about.
From what I've experienced, even just changing your diet, to eating healthier foods, will help you dramatically, along with working out once in a while, and possibility of being put on hormones, will help your hormones stay stable a lot easier, and manage a lot of the symptoms of menopause, or in my case, surgical menopause. Hopefully, some of the things, I have talked about, will help someone else out there, who is going through menopause, or surgical menopause from a hysterectomy, partial or total hysterectomy.
Take care.💕
