I had the same problem. I had a procedure called novasure, which is an endometrial ablation. Its done under general anesthesia, but you go home the same day. I will never have another period, but everything is still there. Maybe that's an option for you. There are several kinds of ablations. I had mine in May, so far so good. I hope that info helps you!

I had a hysterectomy  with the ovaries taken out....no periods again yeah. MY life was all new after it. My entire health improved........

I had a complete hysterectomy in 2009 and I thought at first that it helped, while i was on 2mg of Estradiol. That was post Fibro and pre CFS, i started getting sicker at the end of 2010 and had to have a benign lesion(that's a large mass) from my breastbone and had to go off hormones. Menopause is hell! Night sweats, day sweats, fatigue, dry skin, dry hair, nausea, headaches, I didn't sleep a whole night for 8months. I don't know who started calling them night sweats, that's a joke! its like being on fire! If feels like the worst fever you have ever had and nothing helps and it goes on for hours. I went back on hormones, 6months ago I started on a .5mg patch and 3months ago I added 100mg of progesterone. And now I am going to have to go under the knife again. I would definitely try ablation or a partial hysterectomy.

First of all I would really try to get a new doctor because I couldn't bear having one that does not acknowledge CFS & Fibro in a positive way. I had a hysterectomy but didn't notice any difference with the CFS & Fibro. I wrote emails to my city's top hospitals to ask about docs for CFS and came up with only one: a rheumatologist who diagnosed me with Fibro and said that is you have one you ususally have the other. She sent me for a sleep apnea test and I found out that I had severe apnea. Good thing she sent me. I was so fortunate that I was awarded SSD after applying for it, since I couldn't work anymore.All the best to you.
