Hi, thank you for your replies... i was having a sticky patch with my vagifem.. it works but was experiencing a little soreness where the pessaries touched the skin.. but thought i would get things checked up to be on the safe, have considered changing over to gynest cream, i think maybe i would benefit using the cream extra lubricating maybe. i have noticed even the skin on my legs, is getting thinner, and wrinkly yuk.. lol.. so maybe im getting drier.. i was referred to a gyne at the local hospital, this registrar suggested i should come of it and go on the non hormone route, now i appreciate their argument, but she then asked her senior and her senior said no at my age the non hormone route would not work.. and to take vagifem every day. till i came back to see her in three months.. this i didnt do, i chose to do either every other day, or towards the ends three times a week. on my return visit, i didnt see the same gyne, but a new one who said she had taken over.. She said what was i doing and were they all trying to kill me and give me cancer, and that i should stop immediately and use moisturizers. i managed for three weeks then i had just had enough of the constant applying. re did the first 14 days of vagifem, great no trouble no pain.. then i had to stretch it out to to twice a week, its then when i start to get difficulties again.. but on my return she didnt examine me at all, and said i had vulvodynia, and that i should try sensilube or ubalube and the anesthetic gel.. i said i wasent happy with this, but i would give it a go, she wasent even going to give me a follow up.. when i asked see you again in six months , its crazy ..
