hi eva. i am sorry i am late in responding to your post. i have been trying to recover from endoscopy biopsy pain. i have had ovarian cysts and endometriosis and been through two long surgeries and have had a complete hysterectomy. it wad done laproscopically so i healed quicker then if they did it the old fashioned way. i am only telling you this because i want you to know that i made it through ok even with rsd and surgical menopause. the hot flashes were rough but they have meds to help with that. i am sending healing prayers your way and your sisters way. i hope she feels better soon. (she may want to get a small fan to keep by her bedside for the hot flashes. it helps a bit.) soft hugs to you both.
