Thank you for replying. It was diagnosed as thrush a few times before when I had similar symptoms. Once just by the appearance and I was treated and it cleared up. Then I was treated and it didn't clear up and a swab was taken and came back negative. Then I saw the private gp as was worried about LS seeing as I kept getting inflammation and it not responding to canesten. In previous years whenever an itch appeared some canesten cream woud sort it out but not any more. Canesten pessary burned me badly, like a chemical burn and I had bleeding too. Sometimes now if I use canesten 2% cream it can burn and make me worse. The private GP said I definitely didn't have LS but I did have thrush, but the tablet didn't clear it up. Eventually just sitz baths with bicarb and coconut oil soothed it. The GP also said I didn't really look atrophic....yet I have had genitourinary symptoms for 10 years! So I have no clue what I have but I definitely have something. I have tried all three oestrogen products with the same effect, estriol cream ovestin and now vagifem. I even got thrush when I used Oestrogel on my arm! So Im assuming my body doesn't appreciate the oestrogen, even though I felt better in myself taking the vagifem, less anxiety and stomach problems.
The Sexual health clinic has a central booking number, the lady that emailed me said they know about the fault and are trying to correct it. I spoke to the receptionist at the health clinic where the GUM is held but they cannot take bookings for it themselves, she said she had not been able to get throught o them herself some time ago and couldn't believe it still wasn't working. She said to leave a phone message which I did and I emailed too. It has taken 3 days to hear back and now I wont hear from them until Monday. Good job I wasn't after the morning after pill eh?
