Hi,
I can see a lot can relate to the problem, at least we can chat on here about it. I've made appointment for smear for Tuesday, the nurse who always does them is good I have to try that's the trouble with me I can't not try. Receptionist said she will book a longer time for me, at least I can say x small speculum, with lubrication and a cushion seems to help rather than being so flat, plus to try to be quick before muscles go mad

If it's not possible I know so hospital will have to see. The GUM lady is writing to GP advising them I'm due for smear and to refer me CLKD. She also checked L S area and is checking the area in six months which I was pleased about, as my gp hasn't heard of LS.
