Needing advice, I suffer with VA, but symptoms are pretty much under control at last after 4 years of suffering irritation, soreness, split skin, the only residual problem which I've thrown everything at and still can't get sorted is bladder, no UTIs just frequency and horrendous urgency/urge incontinence, granted not as bad as it was, but some days it is!
I'm on systemic HRT (Mirena coil and oestrogel) I have estring and use testosterone.
I started 4 years ago with 2 pumps oestrogel, and increased it to 3 about 2 years ago, since lockdown (about 6 weeks now I think ) I thought I'd try 4 pumps to see if it might improve things further, I think it has helped, although I know there are other things that affect my bladder, coffee, alcohol, fruit etc. So still have times when it plays up.
However this last week I've hit rock bottom in my mood and feel like I'm losing the plot, I've no motivation or enthusiasm, I'm short tempered and agitated, sleep at night is fine, but want to sleep all the time, feel really heavy in heart and mind, I don't want to see or speak to anyone. it's horrible!
I've had an ear infection and put it down to that, but I'm now wondering if it could be the extra oestrogen?
Any thoughts please? 😢😢
