Anyway, it seems that within a few days a nasty flare up started. Stinging dominates my feet 24/7.
I'm wondering if any of you ladies have had a similar reaction? If its not these tablets then I'm guessing its time to increase my pain meds a little.
The Gynocologist told me to stay on Vagifem the rest of my life, but I will not be doing so if they have caused this extra pain.

I agree, your Gyno is stupid or lying:

This link gives the actual absorption data, and also side effects which are very systemic.
