Anxiety after complete hysterectomy

I don't understand why post menopause women are supposed to suffer from low hormone conditions?
There is a reason that HRT was developed, which can help one to live a pretty normal life. I am a patient of the endocrinology group of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and they have me on a HRT regime that makes me feel good and comfortable. I am almost 80 years old, but feel as if I am in my 50's, and I think it is because my hormone levels are there where they should be to make me feel comfortable.

I wish that was an option. Unfortunately, I have estrogen positive DCIS (early detection of breast cancer) and I cannot take HRT. I did stop my hormone blocker for a bit hoping I would feel better but they will want me to start back up. I’ve been on it 3 of the recommended 5 years. I was wondering if I might need to see an endocrine specialist at some point. I’m glad you are doing well.
