Oh Suzi - you poor thing
I am SO sorry to hear that you had a bad day. I wonder if the medics ever read these posts (apart from Heather, I mean - I know she does
) Telling us "once a night for two weeks, then twice a week" like robots and then presumably thinking "great, another patient fixed" is no use. If they came on here they'd see that it isn't one individual patient complaining that the creams, as prescribed, don't fix us, it's most of us. Is there ANYONE out there who is
post-menopausal and who has had vaginal atrophy which has got better? Please?
I am not sure that the creams are actually what is fixing us anyway. I've just had two weeks on the Ovestin, and I feel almost as bad as ever this morning. I am growing more and more certain that the stress and happy hormones within us play just as big a part. I'm going to start keeping a diary to see if there are any common factors in flare-ups. I know that I had an emotional shock yesterday that I think probably played a part in the tender feelings this morning.
I also wonder if Crescent is right - maybe this new low-dose Vagifem is just what we really need. Start off with the big one, then onto the low-dose daily for the foreseeable - that might fix us. Not sure I want to be taking a pessary every day for the rest of my life though...
