Hello ladies, I can almost guarantee it is a hormone level imbalance. I had the same horrible symptoms.I went to reproductive ENDOCRINOLOGIST. I had very low progesterone levels. After getting on clomid for 3 months it was better.ALL the symptoms disappeared!!So I urge you to check with a good R.E.in your area that can check your hormone levels.The cause is mostly age and heredity.I had the symptoms before the t.l and even after the t.r.So there is hope !!

I feel great, all of my pains are gone my only other worry is I ended up getting polycistic ovaries from the TL so I will be going to the DR in a little while to get treated for that, Yes I know one more ting to deal with because of that TL. I will keep you posted. I am glad you are getting the TR done soon

Leo, Thank you soo much for thinking of me, I was talking to DH, I'm definitely gonna get the TR ASAP. I don't want to get a hysterectomy if the TR will help me avoid this, ya know How are your symptoms as of today? What's improved since your TR? You must be on cloud nine
I am glad that you BP went down but you should still take care of your self. I defitnetly think you should consider getting the TR as soon as possible, I don't think that getting a hysterectomy is the way to go at this point, that should always be your very last option. Please keep us posted on your condition, I will keep you in my prayers.

pghtwins, it's weird how we all have pretty much a lot of the same symptoms, the leg swelling is a pain, that's for sure, I sometimes wonder why this happens, I can't wait to hear how everyone does after ther TR

Lisa, Awwwww, thanks for blessing me I definitely need to get a TR ASAP, I don't think I can get if fast enough. I have a question, are we allowed to email each other? I wasn't sure, didn't think we could post each other's emails, but I did see some girls emails on here, don't wanna get in trouble, but would LOVE to keep in touch, I feel like I have another family here and it gives me so much hope and support.
How are you feeling today? My legs are swelling as usual, it's hard to not be able to stand, it's amazing how much happens with a TL, I never would have thought this much stuff can happen. I'm trying sooooo hard to think positive and think that this TR will help me, it's hard especially when doctors don't even believe in it, let alone admitting that a TR will help, but just knowing how many girls are getting back to the way they were, give me hope, I LOVE hearing how their symptoms improved, ya know?
Regina: Again, bless your little heart! I think it is like Christie says...TL messues with your whole body. My wonderful GYN doc said that TL isn't really "what nature intends for us to do" (it's kind of interrupting things and it is worse the younger you are when you have it done). I agree. Talking again about leg swelling, my feet, legs and ankles swell any time of the month--some days worse than others. I work at home doing medical transcription and with sitting at the computer all day they swell and when I stand up my legs feel H E A V Y...Gross!
Regina, you need TR ASAP!!
Christie...You are a breath of fresh air and give us all hope. I'm ready to get back to my old self (if I remember who I was) and to hopefully have a little one with my DH!!! I'm so glad the TR helped you!

Ladies, I wish you all the best on your upcoming TR's. Any of you that are having them due to PTLS symptoms....trust me you will be so happy that you had the TR. I am a new person back to my pre- TL self and there is so much truth to the fact that having the TL messes with your whole body in ways that really do seem crazy but, rest assure you are NOT !!!!! Blessings, Christie TR 3/13/06

Lisa, do you know what's REALLY weird, when I feel the hot flashes and my heart racing that's when my BP goes up, after I posted I headed off the my regular PCP and guess what, I didn't have the hot flashes and racing heart like I did in the morning when my BP what 150/110, my PCP checked it in the afternoon and it was 120/76...I sooo know this has to do with the TL, my body I feel like is jumping all over, I think I'm about to ovulate and my body is going insane again. tell me that's now weird, my PCP asked me who at the vascular doctors office took my BP because she didn't believe me, ummmm, the vascular doctors office took my BP a few times because they were nervous about it being soo high. I don't think my PCP believed me, what else is new, they don't believe anything I say anymore, even when I have proof. Even when I have proof that my BP was that high a few hours before hand, she could even call my vascular doctor and ask him herself, but of course she wont...she just think I'm nuts as usual LOL I've been going to her for over 12 years and never ever had problems with my BP, if she puts the picture together like I am and realize that as soon as I had my TL 3 months ago the moment after that's when my BP has been insane since, she knows from all my records back that I've never had a problem, I should never have said TL, all she keeps telling me is that she's concerned that I'm depressed and needs to see someone, and need to go on anti depresents (heard that 100x), I told her that I'm not depressed, I'm trying to figure out why soo many things bad are happening to me after my TL and don't want to see anyone.
Lynn , My legs swell and get really red around AF and ovulation, I can't even stand for 1 minute, I feel like it's not far to my kids That's why I'm hoping this TR will help atleast that and my BP and nails again, not that worried about my nails, but they say nails tell A LOT about what's going on with a persons body, ya know. My legs still get red inbetween AF and ovulation, but I can atleast stand a little long without them getting as red, still red and swell, but now as fast. You definitely have to let me know how you feel after your TR too.
I keep hearing the same thing that what if the TR doesn't do anything, I keep telling everyone that I definitely can't live like this, I have to take the chance. And what if it does help me, then I'll have my life back and I wont have this high blood pressure so I'll be able to live to see my kids grow up, this is actually becoming dangerous if you ask me.
