Ask Pharmacists in your local Chemists ......... they should be independent of what the Surgery actually wants to pay out for!
I will try to do so on my way to work today if I have time. I am back in the situation of maybe having a UTI but won't get the urine test result (from a test yesterday) before I am supposed to leave early on thursday. The previous test was inconclusive. Not sure whether to try and ask the practice to just give me a 3 day Trimethroprim to take with me as a back up or just to rely on an occasional dose of Nurofen until my test result is back next week. I am determined not to cancel this Italy trip (as I did last time). It is only 4 days long so back on Monday.
There are 3 possible causes 1. Side effects of Vagifem (last used yesterday) 2. Pre holiday stress 3. a UTI or a mixture of all 3.
A separate question: When I read up on vagifem, it said that most users don't feel any real benefit for several months. however i did get an immediate benefit during the first 2 weeks. I am not sure whether this has tailed off because I am not using it every day or whether it was just a placebo to start with.
