It's ridiculous how they're following out of date advice. When I'd had one episode of a tiny bleed and was waiting for a gyny appointment I was told to stop my vagifem and they wouldn't prescribe my estriol cream either. The gyny shook her head in irritation when I told her. It really rolled my condition backwards too. So seek out anyone who will help you.

What's the worst that could happen if a woman uses appropriate VA treatment?

What's the best that could happen: Quality of Life. 

Recent News at Huntingdon over Sat evening shows that we should live every day as fully as possible and often to do that, we need to take action ourselves and not take much notice about medics who continue to worry us with 'what ifs'.

Did U make a decision yet Old Frumpy - doing nowt ;-) will increase the chances of VA becoming worse.

U can ring round the various Hospitals to C if they have a decided menopause clinic to find out what the waiting list might be.  When my vulva etc itches I either use an 'extra' application of estriol or gently apply KY Jelly there.

I honestly thought I had posted somewhere on here, but GP's are pushed for time in appt and when I had followup she said she had no problem with be starting Vagifem and had wanted to be sure it was ok with past history and age. (Plus I have one great CSN)

Has made a great difference and VA is back to normal and no UTI's.  Usually they kick in when travelling yet my recent hols in Northumberland were a breeze.  Still worry if the discussion comes back up about BP meds as I am convinced they caused it.....5 to 6 days of starting and wham.  No one will change my opinion on this - sometimes you have to say that you know you own body etc.

I agree with what you says about Quality of Life.  After my cancer surgery and then the all clear I wanted to grab life to the full and goodness knows we have enough turmoil in daily life.....and the blasted evening news.....hence be disappearing to the kitchen!!!!

That's good news!

U may have posted ..... but I probably missed it
