K. As some of you are aware. I had my "Orchi" procedure back at the end of march this year.

What you may not be aware of: After about 3 months I became despondent and was spending a lot of time my crying and almost in a tizzy worried that if this kept up I would be suicidal maybe before I was even aware of it...

It all came to a head when I realised the story in a car commercial had me blubbering. I decided this wasn't depression... I googled around and found that low estrogen was the likely cause.

So I went and got tested and my levels were about 1/5 of what is considered the normal range.

When I related my story about crying during a car commercial my doctor asked me completely deadpan... "Was it a FORD commercial?" Then he smiled at me and I realised he was funning me. I burst out laughing.

I'm on oral tablets and a patch trying to drive my levels back up to normal.

Dayna.
