I finally had my hysterectomy done and was off to a more positive light. I started feeling better after the first month, not having a menstrual cycle was definitely something I could get use too, but I still had sadness that made my heart ache, I couldn’t carry a child for the man that I love, ever! if we got married.
I dealt with all of those emotions for a good long while and from time to time, I still do. I was fine the first 8 months but then I started to experiencing anxiety out of nowhere. No matter what I did to calm my nerves I felt like a spastic mess! I was having trouble sleeping or I would sleep and still wake up tired. It was so bad that my memory started getting all fuzzy, I was literally an emotional wreck. I scheduled an appointment with my primary care physician.
The one thing she noticed was that my white blood cell count was low. She wasn’t really worried about it but said she would keep an eye on it. She gave me something to help with the anxiety and started me on something else so that I could sleep.
For a while I started feeling like a human again, I was starting to get some rest and I wasn’t as emotional.
I still felt a little fatigued at the end of the day. I didn’t think much of it other than my body trying to get use to living a life without a uterus.
