I can highly recommend them Lynne. I tried the drugs but they gave me SUCH a dry mouth.  I've been on the patches for just over a week and so far today I've only BEEN twice and it's 1.40pm

Yes the dry mouth is awful. My tongue sticks to the top of my mouth! I've been using vagifem every day again for a week now and the constant urge to urinate has not got any better. It's miserable:(

Dry mouth can be caused by dehydration too.  There are sweets and mouth sprays which can help with this.  It is miserable and I think your GP should refer you to a bladder clinic for an assessment or back to the Surgeon who did the procedure!

Thought I would update you on my constant urination.  Basically I still have it.  I DID have an infection. I have taken 2 lots of antibiotics and I still have the constant urination.  I now also have thrush. I have treated it (yesterday) with a one off pessary but it's worse today.  I'm not sure what is wrong. I really thought the issue was the infection but as two lots of AB's haven't knocked it on the head, I do not know what to think. My biopsy came back clear in August so unless something has happened between then and now I cannot think what could be wrong.  I have to go for a doppler scan on 16th to check on a tiny cyst that was found when I had my previous scan 3 months ago but I can't imagine the cyst has grown big enough this quickly to cause any issues.  I have changed to vesicare, it always suited me better but no improvement yet. I finished the 2 weeks of vagifem every day on Thursday. In the past the vagiferm has started to work after 2 days.   It's all rather depressing with Christmas on the horizon.  I shall be speaking to my GP on the phone on Monday.

 :hug:  I can't imagine how you are coping  :-\

Was your urine sent for analysis so that you were given the 'right' ABs?  Thrush can be helped be eating LIVE yoghurt, when I suffered badly I had one pot in the bathroom to apply vaginally as high up aspossible: the other pot in the fridge  ;) eating large tablespoons several times a day.  It helps set right the bacteria in the gut!

Greek yoghurt is 'LIVE' - has it written in red on the pot  ;)

Are  you taking pro-biotics Lynne - the capsules have a higher number of whatever it is!

Yogurts are good but really not strong enough.

You should buy a good capsule with billions of the right bacteria. Have you also consider D Mannose. A lot of people find it very successful for bladder health.

Yes the urine was sent away and 2 AB's were recommended. I've had both now. I have got pro-biotics,but haven't taken them for a while as I have the pro-biotic drinks every day. I've also got my own yoghurt maker and make live yoghurt, just haven't bothered for a while so maybe I should get back on that.  I take D-mannose but don't think it has much effect on me.  Thanks for your suggestions girls. I will go and root out the pro-biotics.

Have you had the urine tested post-antibiotics? This is very important to make sure the bug has gone.

Not yet, I am taking the last day of the second lot today.  I will be taking in another sample this week.  It's all a bit odd that these problems have only manifested themselves after the biopsy.

You need to see the person who performed the biopsy!

Bladder biopsy. I have to go to hospital on16th. No chance of seeing the guy who did biopsy. Nothing was found so I'm no longer his patient but I am going to mention it all on 16th to whoever I see and hope that I can get some answers. If not I'm going to ask the GP to write to him
