While I did not have frequency or urgency problems, it felt as my bladder was always full, Then after urinating my uretha would suffer wave's of searing pain,I was utterly miserable and having to take time off from work,and turn down social invitation's etc. Repeated uti test's showed nothing ...yet still trying various antibiotics..which only seemed to make it worse. Finally my doc gave me Vagifem. It was a godsend...it started to work almost instantly...my bladder settled down within a week and after two week's felt normal again...I now take it twice a week and at last I now have my life back. | F | 53 | 3 months 10 1X day | 11/26/2015 | 1 | Uti infections | Hair loss, thrush and itchy rash on chest | Will not take again | F | 53 | 1 months 10 | 11/23/2015 | 1 | Uti infections | Hair loss, thrush and itchy rash on chest | Will not take again | F | 53 | 1 months 10 | 11/23/2015 | 3 | Dryness and thinning of wall | Weight gain.

I went to my ob and will be getting a pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound just to make sure all is okay since I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer 2 years ago. She wants to make sure the pain is not from anything else. Threw this garbage and poisonous medication away. | Don't bother taking it. It's just another medication made by a position mill just like all the other garbage they make only to give us more symptoms so we have to take more medication. Remember one of the side effects of this is dementia! How the hell do u get this from this medication? Just another drug on the long list of drugs that pharma makes to poison the population. Don't forget they also make the pesticides that poison our food, air and water and supposedly they make wonder drugs, and they r believed to be the people behind the recent murder and disappearance of seven doctors in the U.S. and Mexico. | F | 47 | 2 days 10 | 8/22/2015 | 1 | Needed a smear test | Headaches, palpitations and worst of all, weight gain.

Fell bloated and fat! | F | 60 | 6 days 10 1X day | 8/17/2015 | 4 | Vaginal atropy and bladder prolapse | pelvic cramps and breast tenderness only during first few weeks but now settled and no side effects to date. | Severe atropy much improved and soreness and burning gone, still working on prolapse with kegals and therapy. Not a quick fix but better than the alternative - surgery. Started exercising again and my life is starting to get back to normal after months of struggling just to sit comfortably. | F | 59 | 3 months 30 | 8/16/2015 | 3 | Bladder Infections | Explosive, soupy diarrhea every morning. Fatigue that continued to worsen. Redness on skin that ended with a red rash covering 60% of my body - was eventually diagnosed with amyopathic dermatomyositis. | I can't prove that Vagifem caused my Dermatomyositis but I am 66 years old and didn't have any signs of this disease until I started Vagifem. Over the 2 years I was on Vagifem my skin slowly worsened. I now am taking Methotrexate to get rid of the rash. Vagifem did keep away all bladder infections while I was taking it which was absolutely wonderful. | F | 66 | 2 years 10 mg 2X W | 8/16/2015 |
