Hi Torrie, I am very sorry to hear of this and what hormones can do to a person is unspeakable. So this comes as no suprise that it's had such an impact on you. Very difficult (understatement) to handle and one can only hope that you will come through this with some improvement.
Not sure how you cope. Youve had most of your life spent mercury toxic and now this and to be thrown straight into post menopause from your late thirties from a tubal ligation is just unbelieveable. With both these traumas, Ive seen you use your own pain in an attempt to warn and help others online and making every attempt to help them avoid the same. That is commendable!
I do hope we will see you on more often at some point, but I can understand that it is very stressful for you.
