Last month it was a GP questioning whether I needed Estriol as it was rare to need both, got that all sorted but this month its 'as you requested in May a three months supply of Vagifem, your next prescription is not due until August'. Some lucky lady has gone on a long holiday I presume with three boxes of Vagifem and I am left in good old blighty fighting for my one box.
I popped into the surgery and tried to explain only to be told by the receptionist, oh its HRT you will need a review. I explained on deaf ears no, its not needed for topical oestrogen and that someone had got three boxes of Vagifem and its not me. No you need a review, no I don't I said again. Ok we both said in unison, put in another request and see what happens.
I absolutely hate being in this exclusive club called Vaginal Atrophy (GSM) because its still the big mystery to medics and admin staff and to think I could have walked next door to the pharmacy and bought Gina but because I use the pessary every day, its extremely expensive but my goodness the freedom it would give from all the crap that goes trying to get a prescription.
