I read more than I post. 51, Essex. Here because my friends are lovely but bored of my symptom chat.

Right so I'm sitting here trying to write down my symptoms before I see the GP and I've had to describe my own body in ways I have never said out loud to another human being. 'Dryness'. 'Discomfort'. 'Loss of interest'. I sound like a very sad Ocado substitution notice. Anyway I'm doing it because apparently just going red and saying 'everything's a bit... you know' is not useful clinical information. If anyone else has found a way to write this stuff down without wanting to fold themselves into a bin bag, do let me know x

Thank you Greta, and everyone who replied. This is exactly why I posted. Reading these has made me feel much less ridiculous, and I am adding a few notes before my next appointment.

Has anyone actually asked their GP specifically about local oestrogen for dryness? Did they bring it up first or did you have to? Dreading the appointment x
