Hi Rozebud,
Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware of the Parkinson's link to ovary removal. I already have osteoporosis and have been on Fosamax for 1 1/2 yrs (just switched to the once a month Boniva).
While on Tamoxifen my FSH levels showed I was in menopause but after switching to Arimidex my periods came back (FSH levels still showed menopause). So instead of taking Lupron shots I went the route of ovary removal a few months ago. It's been surprising to me how long it's taking for my body to adjust to this change. At first, insomnia set in, then hormonal migraines and this week it's a yeast infection. If I can blame my new diagnosis of lymphedema on it I would! I do feel things evening out now though. It's funny how sometimes you just have to go with what your gut tells you and I was sure this is what I needed to do and I'm still glad I went thru with it.
Good luck with your decision.
Susan
