Okay so I finally had an appointment where I actually said the words out loud. Dryness. Discomfort during sex. The UTI feeling that wasn't a UTI. I had been just... not saying it for probably two years because I felt weird bringing it up and honestly wasn't sure it counted as a medical thing. What helped me was writing it all down beforehand, just in a notes app, not even organized, just the symptoms and roughly when they started. I read from my phone in the office and it was so much easier than trying to remember in the moment. Sharing in case it's useful for anyone else who freezes up the second they're in the room. I'm still figuring out next steps but at least it's on the record now.
