Hi Ladies after a worrying weekend,
I wrote a detailed and informative letter to the GP stating that the use of 2 local estrogens, and increasing the frequency is safe as doses of the preparations are very low, and recommended.
Also quoting "If a patient has not responded to initial localised treatment, the dose and type of treatment may need adjusting. It may be worth altering the frequency of vaginal oestrogen doses, changing the brand or formulation, and combining treatments, including adding non-hormonal lubricants and moisturisers."
I got an apology, and a recognition of the courage it took to write and that I know more than him. Which was much appreciated. I do hope that the GP will take on and use in his dealings with other women.
I will hopefully get the ovestin tomorrow and feel a little more confident moving forward.
I wonder how many of us are too scared to say anything and just put up and shut up. Pain, constant UTI's , soreness etc.
Also thanks to all the kind ladies who supported me here, we all need a bit of support now and again . x
