My MenoJourney Story
Basically it's been a total nightmare. The one good thing was being officially menopausal and not having periods anymore but they've been replaced by my vagina forgetting what it's there for. It has literally stopped working. Vaginal dryness doesn't describe it. My vagina got so dried up that at one point I could barely sit down it was so painful and I know this is silly but I was too embarrassed to go to the doctor before that. When I did go I was nearly hysterical and spent most of my 10 minute appointment crying. I think my GP gave me the oestrogen cream just to get rid of me. It did help a lot but I have to moisturise that bit of me twice a day just like I do with my face.
My Symptoms
