Hi LadiesSorry to hear about all-your bad nights and your experiences But I haven't experienced anything as major as you girls. I am trying not to take anything yet. Apart from excersice. I cycle at lot and only because of winter and the festive season it has stoped and I miss it terribly and I have found that my stuff I have have all of a sudden have came on. The only things I suffer from are tropical moments (as I call them and have had for a long time) just new in past few months night sweats,vag dryness and with that I think came along bladder/ kidney infection which left me with I think nigle/ cramp pain across bladder area. I am going back to doc mid week to see about this as I have never had and discomfort for the past poss three years.So I am sorry I can't shed any light or help with anything else at moment.

    Hi

    Sounds like you're 'with us' - but with weaker symptoms. Lucky you!

    But the dry 'nunny' is classic, so mention to yr GP as I believe HRT may

    Help here (if I'm wrong here someone will put me straight - that's the

    beauty of this forum!). Or ask about pessaries/vag cream if its not

    suggested.

    I've lost my impetus with my exercise regime due to the weather and like you, I'm feeling the aches as a result. I can see the old saying 'Use it or Lose it' really applies now more than ever. So I'm walking to the shops

    over the course of the week rather than driving and over-buying. Its

    amazing how much less you buy when you have to carry shopping bags

    home!!

      Hi Jerry, I to am in the full swing of things, I think ive now had every symptom that's ever been mention on here. But up until two weeks ago I'd never had the dry bunny. It started with the feeling I was going to get a water infection so I went to see my lovely female GP after a quick test of my water sample she didn't seem to think it was an infection. She took a look downstairs and from what she could see said I was lacking oestrogen down there (very pale and thin skin). She gave my some oestrogen pessaries to pop in at night, it's just a tiny little tablet in an applicator like a mini tampon applicator. I've been using them every night for two weeks and now I just need to use then two nights a week for a few more weeks and wow what a difference. It took a week for that horible cramping feelin to go and I did get a bit of discharge that she said I would get but I hadn't realised how dry and sore I had become. So good Luck with your visit to the doctors next week.

      That was ment to say nunny not bunny. That gives rampant rabbit a new meaning. Dam auto correct.

      Love it! Had this vision of two protruding teeth. Worse still were the two hairy 'lop ears'!!!!

      (Apologies in advance if anyone finds my humour offensive, but your ref to Rampant Rabbit makes me think you've defo got one - or had one, before this bloody Peri set in!)

      Great news about the pessaries being of benefit as drying up heightens our chances of getting g water/kidney infections. Oh, it all fun n' games for us here on I !:-)
