Thank you ladies very kind. I even have a book signing to do 🤣.

It would seem from the emails I am getting and feed back from medical peeps this is long overdue, vaginal atrophy has always been the ugly sister of menopause where the medics don't even discuss it properly or even know what to do, poor treatment etc etc.

So when finished perhaps gine to your GPs surgery with a request they read it. I know of some GPs who have been given copies.

I have done quite a few videos over the last few days as well with different professionals, one a women's health physio yesterday that I think will be a really good watch when it's put out in Utube land . 😊💐

I know some will think this is so odd and personal, but I have 3 daughters and this side of menopause needs airing.
My earlier message failed to save for some reason. I started reading it on the way home. Based on the 3 chapters read so far, I  may suggest it to my practice. Congratulations Maryjane

Brilliant, you are an inspiration!!!

Just being nosey but when you do the self publishing, do you have to pay out upfront or is it part of Amazon's service?

Congratulations and hope you win many more awards.

No we aren't doing it via amazon print on demand.

We have an independent printers and we printed x amount up front, it's then sold via my sight and amozon.

The printers are the distributors on the amazon side. We set up our own publishing name ( free) sinthat way we have control over the book.

Hope you enjoy it ladies.😊

I finished reading it last night. Very useful and may well show it to my GP when I try to persuade them to let me use Vagifem (or any other which I might try)  more than twice a week.  :)

Gosh well done CLKD that is doing your bit and helping spread the word. I'm going to have an emailing campaign to various papers & magazines agian. Thankyou very much for your support means a lot. 💐

If I was famous or had lots of money and a PR this would be all over the place, I have done a video today with a lady raising awareness for all things vulva. 👵🏻😊🙈
