Hi everyone
I'm having one of these days, when I think I will never live a normal life again 😔😔...Just when I think I am seeing an improvement in my VA symptoms, I get a day that blindsided me. Last week I had a good few hours, when I felt human again. The past 3 days have been awful. I am taking Gina everyday. I also apply estriol daily. Unfortunately I went to reorder my prescription for Estriol online. Only to find my GP hadn't put it on repeat prescription.  So now i have been phoning the surgery all morning, with no success. This has just made me more frustrated and upset. Can't believe I have all this stress because my GP didn't tick a bloomin box. However I decided to see if there was maybe another reason for my symptoms other than VA. I happened to read about the Pudendal nerve. I was quite shocked to see how the symptoms were very similar to VA. Just wondering if anyone has heard of this. It could also be what's wrong with some ladies, who aren't getting relief from the VA medications. I know there are a lot of knowledgeable members on here and would appreciate their thoughts. Hope you are all having a good day.

Yep. Not personally -  I've bounded a few threads which showed up on the search, along with several others.

You can put the word Pudendal in the search box and there are tons of posts that mention it, how long do you have, its a huge read!

Heatwaves can bring on a flare up very easily, you need to get the Estriol cream applied to keep things on track because symptoms will come back quickly.
You don't say how long you have been using treatment but even then after four years of treatment, flare ups can happen out of the blue.

Thanks Ayesha. I will have a look. I think I have been on Estriol for about 5/6 weeks. Some days i get relief and other days I don't. I suppose its still early days. Thanks again
