Hello everyone my story begins within the last year, feeling hot flashes, at times seemingly like experiencing 1 to3 every hour or so, for a week or so & then not experiencing a flash but every few days. Any weight gain has accumulated around my mid section & I can't seem to shed any of the weight, only add to it. My hair is coming out & my anxiousness/mental health is up & Down without any new reasons for this reason. My self confidence has plummeted. I feel very unattractive due to my weight gain & all these other reasons as well.

I had a hysterectomy in 2016 due to massive fibroids & large thankfully benign tumor of my right ovary. Thankfully leaving me 1 working ovary without needing any HRT these last 10 years. But now I just want to recapture, if only some small part of my self. Thanks for reading & I encourage any positive suggestions/comments.
