I'm sorry to hear that...

but just because your doctor says that he does not believe in our very real problems does not mean that they do not exist and it further does not mean that we cannot benefit from a reversal. Just think, it was not long ago that doctors insisted that PMS and PMDD was all in our heads. It was not recognized as a real (not mental) medical condition something like 20 years ago(I'm not sure on the time frame now, but it can be looked up, and it was not a long time ago.) Now there are all kinds of medications and treatments for PMS and PMDD.

A reversal seems to be the only long-term option at this point and many (though not all) women have had good results. Most women who do have good results do not report 100% improvement, but I think that 80% improvement is very encouraging. I am not the type to settle for 80% health, but this is driving me nuts and 80% sounds pretty darned good right now. It is still no guarantee, but it's all I've got and I'm not going to let some doctor trying to cover for the medical community or just because he was not trained to think for himself tell me that I cannot feel better. All most docs seem to want to do is drain us financially over a longer period of time, treating our symptoms with treatments that have their own side effects and do not stop/cure our condition, or they just castrate us to shut us up (and fill their pockets further, since a hysterectomy pays more than a reversal.)

Good luck with feeling better! I am getting my reversal as soon as I can get an appt! Wish me luck and I will report the results to you all.
