Surgical Menopause Hysterectomy

Is anyone experiencing menopausal symtoms from hysterectomy?

I had a hysterectomy and ovary removal 8 weeks ago. I am now experiencing surgical menopause. Hot flushes, night sweats, headaches, lethagy etc. Anyone else gone through this. Input would be great. I don't want to go on to HRT. I would try natural remedies, but not medical.

I had a hysterectomy in January, 2007. I had to wait 3 weeks to start hormones because of endometreosis. I opted to do HRT, I was only 27 and think that is what was right for me. It has taken me this long to get my hormones right. I am now on 1 mg of estrace a day and I use Progesterone cream twice a day and it has really helped.. I don't know much about the natural remedies, except a girl at work says she uses Estroven that she buys over the counter. She swears by it. Hope this helps.
