I know this is off topic, but since there are so many women I could really use some help....

I had a hysterectomy some years back 'cuz I had an "alien" growing. Turns out it didn't heal and went through 4 surgeries trying to correct, almost died 3 times, etc. Finally got the ovaries taken out (which I didn't wanna do), b/c they were ruptured.

I came outta surgery w/a premarin patch and of course was put straight into Menopause in my mid 30's. When I got home and had pretty much recovered, I was sitting in my living room and was sooo pissed. I mean white hot pissed, couldn't figure out why??, Then talked myself down realizing it was irrational. The very same thing happened the next day at about the same time. This made me realize the dosage wasn't strong enough and the Dr. upped it and never had a mood or sweats problem since.

Since then a new Dr. took over and I glanced up and saw HER instructions on my regular Premarin Rx and it says, "take for 21 consecutive days followed by 7 days off. WTH? No one said anything to me regarding this before and I have been taking this Rx for about 4 years now w/no days off ever???

I looked up some of the side effects and was absolutey shocked. I never had any of these problems before, but now I have heel bone pain when on my feet for short amounts of time, severe back pain, have gained weight that I CANNOT lose w/regular exercize and pretty decent diet, lots of headaches and now my collar bone in each of my shoulders seem to be scraping and are aching bad, daily.

Has anyone experienced this or have any advice? I'm not really sure what to do here?
