Post menupausal nightmare

[Cammy]

Hey Mosaic: Well I treat this three ways: 1) My physician prescribes me vaginal estrogen tabs 2) I correspond with a retired ob/gyn nurse who has been a Godsend, to say the least, and 3) I used approved OTC products recommended by both my doctor and the nurse. I think what happened to me is that I neglected my estrogen Rx for years after menopause, and this led to tissue thinning and all the problems I cited. Now I'm trying to rebuild everything, but it is slow and often super uncomfortable. My sincere advice to anyone who has the first sign of problems is to get to their doctor, get some kind of hormonal therapy and stick with it. Don't do like I did and abandon it. It is a lot harder to get things back to normal than it was to mess things up, but that's usually the way with everything, isn't it? Sheesh - you'd think I'd know better - duh - I really dropped the ball big time.
