TBH Prostap 3 has been ok for me. Joints have ached, but stopped the periods, as my endo has gone too far (they say) to have a full hysterectomy!! I have had sleepless nights and hot flushes day and night - although to be honest night are worse x but no real bodily adjustments x I hope you ok & wish you good luck for your op. My gynae never offered me this drug before my op I have endo and had a 12cm cyst on one of my ovaries, which they managed to remove, they could not even locate my left ovary, everything else is fused together with the endo :( x
