Thanks Anne, I do drink a lot of water.
Yes, Mark I do get frustrated with it.

Now this is the deal on all of this.. It is not just a Menopause issue.

The thyroid has been damaged by the radiation, so there for it does not produce the proper hormones. The pituitary glad also plays big part in this. The pituitary glad is the main regulator to the Body. (Such as Body Temperature.) Now on top of all this there is another area that the pituitary glad works with. (can't recall name at this moment)

I have read so much on this subject, that I am not sure what I understand any more! Ha ha. smile

Long story short my GP has decided to do a MRI on the head to look at the Pituitary Gland. Now the only thing this will show is if there is a Tumor there or something interfering with the Pituitary gland. MRI will be done on the 10th.

One question or thought I had was; Could the Pituitary gland have been effected by Radiation over splash, or the Chemo? It might be a stretch for the radiation, but chemo may be a possibility. confused

Well, that is where I am at on this issue.

Take care,
Diane
