Eight years ago I had a complete hysterectomy at the age of 34. Mentally I was all over the place. I gained weight, I couldn't control my emotions and hot flashes. When I found Brenner's office it was life changing. I often tell them that I believe it not only saved me but my marriage. Within a short time my hormones were at a healthy level. I continue to feel great. My moods stay stable. I don't have mood swings and I don't have to remember to take a pill. My husband also receives hormone replacement. He is back to being the man I married. I can't imagine either of us not having this option.
