Just a heads up ladies.....I went to my local what I thought was GUM clinic today for really bad inflammation and pain with a horrid red angry rash breaking out into sores down there. I have had this for a week since starting the 2 week load of vagifem. I treated for thrush but no response, just a worsening of pain and inflammation. I booked the clinic after waiting 5 days to get through to someone and told the lady what I was going for, she didn't say I couldn't be seen for that in the sexual health clinic, booked the appointment and I wated patiently in pain until Thursday to be told they don't deal with anything but contraception and STIs! I was just sent away having waited an hour in an empty clinic. It wasn't even a doctor I saw just a nurse. She told be to go back to my gp. So I tried to book an appt, but was told no doctors appointments the whole of next week, so after I made a fuss she gave me an appointment in another surgery in a town 25 mins away at 8pm Tuesday night. I don't know where the surgery is or who I am seeing, just a male doctor I assume. I am so desperate. In terrible pain and discomfort. This rash is blistering and seems to be spreading. I have no idea what is wrong with me. I cant just be the vagifem surely?? Everyone else seems to have been fine with it and has gotten great results. I don't think I will ever get better nd I hate myself for even trying the vagifem when really I knew not to. I would give my right arm to just go back to my usual VA symptoms, this is horrific and I feel like no one cares. The medical profession has let me down for 10 years with my menopause problems. They don't care and there is nowhere to go. I am in such a low state because no matter how I try I cannot help myself. Surely there has to be more to life than this constant suffering? On Tuesday I will demand a referral to dermatology as I think I must have LS.....or maybe worse. I will have to wait 2 months to be seen no doubt. Shocking state of affairs. Sorry for the rant but I am so desperate. xx
