Estrace vaginal cream
Comments (2)I get headaches unless I use progesterone cream along with estrogen. I get the cream from puritan.com. You do not need a prescription. I use the cream 25 days and off 5 days. I am on higher dose estrace, so I do get my period. Others use the progesterone cream every day and do not get a period. I would ask your doctor to be sure, but progesterone cream seems to be safe when used as directed. I hope this helps....See Moregood resource for menopause and vaginal dryness
Comments (0)I posted a question about vaginal dryness several days ago after finding this forum, and then began searching old threads and found some useful advice. I also checked with a nurse friend who recommended a website connected with a local store. It's called "A Woman's Touch" and it has lots of good suggestions. I was about ready to switch doctors and try hormones, but now I think I'll try some of the "Woman's Touch" suggestions instead. If you have trouble finding the website - I just googled those words and it came up - let me know and I'll post the more specific info....See MoreVaginal Atrophy Strategies
Comments (2)Hi ladies, it has been a long time since I was on here but I first told you of the Endocrine Mender I was taking and it did help but never got complete relief so finally went to health dept and saw a ARNP. I told her I thought I had Lichen Sclorsis so she had to do a biopsy to diagnose it. It was painful but it was positive. She gave me a salve (prescription) Clobetasol Propionate. It has saved me. I feel completely normal and have since only a few weeks of using it. If I feel any twinges I put a little on and back to normal. I can not say about intercourse as I don't have a partner to try that :) but I really think I could. I hope you will push to get diagnosed if you are like I was: I could not move without tearing, it burned and/or itched most of the time, was white with what looked like scar tissue . I was miserable and depressed. Please seek help. The med is not very costly and last a long time. Best wishes to you all. P.S. I was depressed cause all I read was there was no cure for Lichen Sclorsis, well this may not be a CURE but sure is a great treatment.I can live with that....See MoreNeed to hear from woman past meno
Comments (22)gvecchio1, So sorry to hear about your loss. I am in that same situation with my father right now, it only a matter of time. Ya, isn't it crazy. You'd think these doctors would at least wonder what's going on their client base in menopause who are having muscle pain! All I know for absolute certain is that vaginal Estrace, used regularly, completely wiped away all the muscle pain. GONE. And the nodules that had developed on the sides of my fingers, vanished completely. When I went to an endocrinologist and spoke with her about this and asked for her opinion on whether or not this was all related to estrogen, she responded, "Well if it works." Seriously, that was her only comment and she wasn't remotely interested. So good luck to the next woman coming to her looking for answers with chronic pain. Woman need to keep connecting on symptoms and how they found relief. I hold out little hope working with the majority of doctors....See Morembhs21
