You don't share how old you are now. I can relate with your post though as I too had a hysty when I was in my early 40's as well. While I welcomed it (due to horrible monthly "visits")...it messed up my thermostat. I've always been warmer than folks around me since that time. I did have hot flashes while still in the hospital so know what they feel like. My physician gave me a shot that took care of those. I was on hormone therapy into my late 50's but to be honest never quite found the right thing that helped me feel "normal" again. Now in my 60's it isn't a factor anymore but my thermostat still hasn't leveled out. Perhaps you could fine a *good* integrative medical doctor who can give you wise counsel on this. In my experience that's what eventually help me out, some, with this whole thing. Once a friend told me of a good book written about all this...but I never read it so therefore can't remember the title. Maybe if you google your questions you're also find some answers.
Living in FL....to be truthful I'm fine with that here. To be sure...most places have the "air" on to the point of even me feeling some chill. I still find that sometimes I have to throw my covers off at night but that's about the extent of my discomfort of the whole thing. If it's too hot outside...it's too hot for everyone!!
