I would say the tenderness is probably less noticeable today now than when it first started so it does sound like it will decrease. The info in the boxes was huge - all the risks and side effects so although I skim read them enough to notice about tenderness around the breasts, I didn't want to focus on the negatives.
Today I feel tired, sore and tender but very positive because up until coming to this site I thought I was going to be feeling like this forever. So I know things will get better, I really appreciate you all.
Spoke to the GP and I've actually got a face to face apt with her tomorrow, they are as rare as hens teeth at my practice. But she listened to my long diatribe and then asked why I thought I had VA not vulvadynia.

I told her it was after coming here and doing a lot of reading. Apparently my notes say that last time I was examined in 2021 there was sign of atrophy and yet no one told ME!!!
However she said she doubted I had it.
There is a menopause specialist in my area but there is a year's waiting list. I asked if I could go on it and she asked why I would want to see them! *sigh*
I'll report back after tomorrow but I get the impression she's going to be obstructive.
