just thought I would update you, I went to the doctors today, discussed the VA and he has left me on the femseven sequi patches and prescribed some Estriol cream, which he said to use either once or twice a week...... Just hope this helps!!!
Feel like im going round in circles................ I could kick myself though! spent so long discussing the VA/HRT I didn't mention the pain Im having at the top of my stomach, right in the centre under my ribs..... I waited a month for that appointment as well and he was running an hour and a half late.................. OH well hopefully that will settle down maybe I will try some galviscon and see if it helps..........

? take a list next time ? ::)

Thanks for the update - as CLKD says - take a list next time! You are entitled to your time despite the late running of the appt!
As for the estriol - if this is your first time use of local oestrogen I would do the initial loading of every day for a fortnight and twice a week thereafter - which is what the instructions say I'm sure.

See what it says on the 'instructions' that should be printed by the GP and stuck onto the packet?
Let us know how you get on!

Thanks for your replies! I did take a list CLKD! But I didn't have my glasses on to see it!!! Oooops! LOL
On the label it says to apply at night, twice a week!!!!!!

There you go then …….. I would check with the leaflet inside and speak to a Pharmacist?
I think I'm going to buy some vari-focals as I can never find my readers or distance glasses when I require them!
