Very stress filled week. Non stop activities. Too much. I got prescribed generic vagifemn. Waiting on delivery. Referred to ob gyn. I have been organizing home removing things we don't need. We are not hoarders. It is just the non stop go go go that has been very hard. What can you tell me about this? Too much activity makes pain worse? It takes me longer to do things because of the pain. I walk over 3000 steps daily. We have 2 dogs. I got HA inserts. That helps. Thank you.

Sorry what is an HA insert ?

Stress will not be helping any pain. Both are coming from same part of the brain.

I find distraction can take your mind off any pain do you find that your organising and thoughts elsewhere can do this ?

Excercise in tight clothing will not help matters. Breathable underwear like cotton is better too.

Hyaluronic acid?

It can take up to four months for the pessaries to work. All that you are doing will make GSM symptoms worse until you get it under control and only topical oestrogen will help. Leave out the HA to give the treatment time to work, you can always experiment with moisturisers as time goes on.

The link below will explain more about the condition.

It isn't anything you have done or not done, it is because your urogenital tissues are starved of estrogen and androgens.

A 25 year old can hike up and down Kilimanjaro with a tent on her back and not get a sore fanny.

It's hormonal. If I were in that much discomfort I wouldn't wait for a prescription I'd go to boots and buy some. It probably costs less than hyaluronic acid.
