OHHHH Man sooooo sorry you have to go through this and I can only hope your wife gets better with time. You are a brave man to have endured the wrath of a women that has had a total hysterectomy without the aid of any hormones. Why on earth would she want to endure such 'pain'?! she must be very afraid of something. I can't even imagine of what she herself must be going through. Each women's journey through menopause whether natural or surgical is individual and each one has to decide how she wants to do it with or without HRT's. Why your wife chose this route is strange when there are so many things she could try. Pretty much the hormone level is 'checked' by how she feels. Numbers aren't the best indicator of how a women feels when it comes to menopause. Only she knows how she feels. I would hope that you can support your wife a bit longer as I can feel from the tone of your post that you are thinkin of jumpin ship. It all depends on time....it also doesnt' seem your wife is educated on menopause...I hope both of you are reading as much as you can on the subject so you both have some idea of why things are happening...she sounds scared to death? I am sorry for all couples that have to go through these tough times but life isn't always what you want it to be and in sickness and in health 'til death do us part is a good thing to remember.
