Hi
Wow again your whole experience leads me to believe that something is better than nothing and I'm not understanding why the doctors didn't just put you on 5 mg and go from there I'm so hesitant to start this medication. I saw my new general practitioner yesterday and she would not do an internal I had to book that for June she did do blood work in a urine sample but she did not do a Midstream urine I still don't know my results from my cystoscopy with the urologist all I know is that he said that I had to go on vagifem through my general practitioner. My general practitioner at the time was a male who was an a******. He literally sat down and this is the third time mind you I have ever seen him in 4 years normally his nurse practitioner was there but she quit and now I know why he started yelling at me going through every health issue I have and refused to give me the medication and told me to get out of his practice. That left me in hysterical tears I called my oncology coordinator who then talked with my oncologist and he prescribed the medication so I am assuming I have intersistential cystitis because I have all the symptoms and my urines are clear I do want clarification on this when I see my doctor in June and I will just be going to the emergency if I have any issues prior to that appointment. I find the medical care with general practitioners is lacking huge compared to my doctor that I had for 40 years she was amazing it leaves one wondering for sure. I hope that you do well not taking any other therapy.

Be careful with vagifem. It gave me horrible migraine headaches and mood swings. Now that I am off it, I feel so much better!
