Hi
I've been using Vagifem for 5 weeks mostly to help stop the constant need to go to the toilet. It has helped enormously, but then on Saturday night for some strange reason (just after using Vagifem) I had setback and I must have gone to the toilet 10 times. No sleep at all that night. Maybe it was just a blip and the Vagifem will continue to improve things - it's still early days. Frequency has improved since Saturday - still not ideal but nowhere near like Saturday night.
However, in desperation, during that sleepless night I thought it might help to use the Replens the doctor had given me. I hadn't used it before now as I was wary of it (since the menopause I am sensitive to a lot of skincare etc). Anyway, it had been sitting in bedside cabinet and so I used it. I think it was a massive mistake though. Yesterday I started to sting and burn. And it continued to get worse last night - another night of not much sleep.
Has anyone had a reaction like this? And if so, how long does it take to settle? I took an antihistamine.
The only other confusing issue, is that I also had a sachet Sylk (free sample) in my drawer and I dabbed that on the outside bits just after using the Replens. So it could be a reaction to the Sylk. Anyone had that?
We go on holiday next week - hoping this settles before then. Hoping also the urinary frequency calms down as the holiday
Thanks so much!!
