What makes you think that the auras are related to stroke? Have you been referred to a specialist at your local Hospital, or maybe look at the UK Stroke Association web-site. A friend of mine suffered a stroke last week so I've been on the site a lot recently.
What particular symptoms did you see your GP with? Vaginal atrophy requires different HRT to what may be prescribed for other menopausal symptoms. It is for Life. VA mimics urine infection-type symptoms and treatment can certainly ease those symptoms. For me it was like razor blades up there
. Treatment eased symptoms, job done. Used every night for 2 weeks and then every 4th and every 5/6th night, or if necessary, every night: each lady needs different amounts of medication and some use
Sylc or similar to keep the whole area supple. This can stop itching.
Maybe keeping a mood/food/symptom diary would be useful to you? Keeping a chart helps when we have better or worse days to see if there's a pattern. Also, taking a list of symptoms to the GP appt. can help, making a double appt. so that you don't feel rushed. If your GP isn't sympathetic, see if there is one in your Practice who is interested in female health, or see the Practice Nurse. We should not have to see anyone privately though for quickness and peace of mind, with menopause it may be necessary.
Browse round. Make notes. Symptoms won't alter over-night as the body doesn't get where it is suddenly. Some don't have many symptoms where as others have lots, but not necessarily all at the same time
- it ain't called The Change for nowt.
Ask away.
