awareness

Ha. I don't think it's offensive, think it's funny but I wouldn't wear it sorry. I haven't told anyone I have it except a few close friends and family. Would maybe wear something that's more hidden but still funny 

It is frustrating that pekoe don't know about it though. Even some Gps I've seen nod when I tell them but I can tell have no idea 

Hi Athena - I agree we need to do something. Check out my discussion Raising Awareness of LS. You might like to throw in some suggestions

I was thinking that "ditch the itch" might be more catchy than save the cooters

Yes i like your idea. Not sure us Ausies would understand the meaning though. Its not a word i have heard before. 

Rather than ditch the itch it could be Itch in the ditch. Or some thing else but i think the tee shirt could help. Maybe incorporate the two ideas and use art on the shirt front and an explanation on the back. 

Love any idea that could potentially help us all. 

Wilma. 

I like tee shirt idea but wouldn't be too keen wearing something that's referring to a vaginal itch. LS is so much more than that. 

What about a badge that could be worn cos would need many tee shirts.

Hi I screen shot the slides on Dr G's webinar and printed them off to take to my Gp's surgery- At first i gave them to one of the nurses who returned them to me- i DON'T think she DID circulate them around the nursing or medical staff- so i have given the print outs to one of the  doctors and suggested they discuss setting up a support group  at a practice meeting- i would be willing to facilitate i said - I was told they do have several women in the practice (it is a rural practice) and one of thir receptionists whispered to me that she too has the condition- So if we all  Have a Go at informing the general public we MAY get the message out

I also spoke to  pharmacists about not selling canesten  creams for thrush  without checking the frequency of the "thrush " and advising the customer to go to their medic to be SURE it IS thrush and NOT LS, .
