Hi Ladies..I haven't been on here in a while because I have been feeling fairly good these past months. I finally hit menopause this past August and all other symptoms lighten up . The most dreadful symptoms I'm dealing with now are my lady bits. I tell you I have been miserable this past month dealing with the dryness, irritation, burning, itchiness, achy, etc. down there. Just plain miserable! Everything just shrivelled up downstairs. The last time I had the issue at the early part of the year the dr said it was bacterial vaginosis and started to thin. I've had this before on and off but the closer I got to menopause it was more on than off and it last for awhile now. Ive tried just about everything and no relief. Right now I have a ice pack down there. I hope this is not the daily norm of menopause.. my peri was really really rough. I tell you its No fun getting old.

    Hi Mary, sorry to hear you are suffering this. I have been too, since October. It really gets you down. I know you say you've tried everything, just wondering what you've tried? I have been using Ovestin for 11 weeks now. Things are a bit better but not perfect. Am going to ask GP if I can try Vagifem next. I guess its all trial and error. Hang in there x
