I am so sorry to hear that you have been dealing with these extreme emotions for so long and with no permanent relief.

I will try my best to help you understand the results of the blood test.

During menopause and following a total hysterectomy, the ovaries cease to function and LH levels will rise. Certain medications, such as oral contraceptives and hormone replacement treatment, cause LH to decrease.
Again, when the ovaries cease to function, either by surgical removal or with menopause, FSH levels will rise. FSH levels can decrease with the use of oral contraceptive and hormone replacement treatment.

Normal estradiol levels in postmenopausal women is between 0 and 30 pg/ml. High levels of estradial may be a sign of an ovarian tumor,however, your ovaries were removed with the total hysterectomy.

I am concerned that your extreme range of emotions might be caused by something other than a lack of estrogen.
