Having a hysterectomy can put tremendous strain on the body, and you also have the added stress of day to day life and work.
This can affect the nervous system, giving rise to symptoms very similar to menopause ones such as hot flushes, fatigue, joint pain, low mood etc.
In this situation it is very important to do supportive work for the nervous system, such as taking a high strength multi-vitamin.
Check your magnesium dose as you may need 400-800mg per day just now; liquorice tea can be helpful as well.
I would also suggest acupuncture as it can be very effective for rebalancing the hormones after the operation.
Studies have shown that daily relaxation can reduce symptoms quickly, so make 30 minutes of relaxation a day a priority.
Check your diet too - cutting out coffee and chocolate is good idea, but high salt and sugar foods can trigger the nervous system as well contributing to symptoms.
Dehydration may also be a factor, so make sure that you are drinking plenty of plain water daily and eat little and often to avoid blood sugar dips.
