Been told will go straight into the menopause after an operation. Help!
Posted , 5 users are following.
I am having both ovaries and both fallopian tubes removed, it is only today that the hospital has told me that my perods will stop and I will go straight into the menopause. My consultant has said that because of my age, 49. HRT is not necessary. He feels, from a couple of things I told him that I may well already be peri-menopasal.
Anything I need to be prepared for?
My question is this I already take chromium picolinate to stabalise my blood sugar as it tends to be low, D3 as I was treated for deficency and advised to take a maintenance dose. I plan to take B6 and B12.
Anything else I should take. Is calcium a good idea and if so how much?
As an epileptic I already know that I cannot take evening Primrose oil and St Johns Wort. Anything else I will of course check on. Thanks for your help.

Chromium and Zinc are known to help stabalise blood sugar levels. I was advised to follow a low GI diet which prevents peaks and troughs.
I will message you copies of some information sheets I was given at the time and have found useful.
Just from interest are you in America or the UK?
