Hi, has anyone out there had a hysterectomy, where both ovaries are removed and therefore means you fly feet first into the menopause, rather than gradually. I am 10 wks post op, and having the most tremendous hot flushes day and night. The ones at night are the worst as they just envelop you, like someones turned a switch on and turned up the heat and I drip with sweat. They actually wake me up, and I seem to be having them every 2 hours, so not getting a good nights sleep either. Any suggestions, what can help. My doctor has put me on the Beta blocker Propranolol, for the time being, until I have had my first Consultants visit, when I hope I can take some HRT. But if anyone has any self help suggestions I'd be happy to try anything.
