Hi Ladies, Not sure if this is the right place, but introducing myself as a new member. Had this dreadful dryness since May 2012 at age 66. Luckier than some who've started really early. After 2ing and frowing to GP. proddings and pokings, scan etc. saw gynae who prescribed Vagifem 10 in early Nov. 2012. After 6 weeks, worked a treat. Back to normal, couldn't believe my luck. Had a couple of blips when I've been anxious. About 4 weeks ago it started to fail. Bit anxious again. Nerves definitely are a big part. Thought it would sort itself when anxiety subject over, but no. I was going to a 25th anniversary party, my dead cousins daughter whom I haven't seen for a long term. I'm a miserable old bag, parties are not my thing. Also anxious about what present to buy. Stupid, or what.. Got GP permission to do reload. Last one last night, but although much improved, not perfect. Quite nervous about missing tonight.
Will try one night off, 2 nights on to begin with. I mentioned to GP that ladies in Aus are still on 25. He said he could still prescribe it (Essex, UK), but it wasn't licenced. Not sure what that means. Think I might have to go back and ask for 25. Are any of you UK ladies using 25? I wonder if I might be better to use 5 x 10 a week than 2.x 25. Considering 2 weeks at 1 a day hasn't made it perfect like before, maybe that won't be enough. However, I know it might not be perfect again anyway.
So pleased I found this fab site with all you lovely ladies. Its good to know others are thinking and feeling the same as me, and I'm not a complete wimp or nuts.
