In denial

Okay Okay OKAY!! I have been making excuses for these "hot flashes". 3 weeks ago I had surgery to remove my ovaries. In May I went in to have the same thing but that doctor opened me in the wrong place and didn't find them. ANYWAYS, I experienced hot flashes at night just in my abdominal area and they went away about a month later. I have been doing the same with this one, so I thought. They are much worse and happen during the day, like right now. I was hoping I wouldn't experience the hot flashes right away, that I would be one of the lucky ones and sail through forced menopause smoothly. Of course not!! I have to experience everything the hard way. I went for my post op exam yesterday and he even asked if I was having hot flashes and I said no! I guess I will bite the bullet and do hormone therapy. I want the natural bio identical.
