well, i hadnt been to a gyn in years. i always had my pcp's do my pap smears. when i was referred to ths gyn it was for the uti's which they never helped with. my first visit was with a nurse practioner i wouldnt have chosen a NP but thats who i got i had no symptoms whatsoever. nothing she said i had lichen schlorus i kept saying what cause never herdof it then i went bac togyn who specializes in this and she wasalmost certain i did not have it but simplex so iwas relieved. theni got worse i think since i had a bad reaction to prednisone and she chose to ignore it. she kept giving me excuses for putting off a biopsy but anyway i luckedout tonight quite by accident i found a uro gynocologist and he had the best reviews. so i made a appt right online for oct 25 for both issues. im sorry if i sounded not nice its just i have hadmany medical issues ever since i got my 2nd covid shot. i have more specialist than i know what todo with. i have to go to the boston area from new hampshirebecause uphere i literally got nowhere in 15 months. its been quite a ordeal. so you were red and raw and had it? thats me but that was only after estrogen cream and steroid ointment which made me worse so honestly no idea but glad my appt is only 3 weeks away.
