Being peri-menopausal and having so far refused to risk taking HRT, when presented recently with the option to use a low dose, topical Estrogen tablet (Vagifem), I decided to give it a go.

My Gyno told me it doesn't absorb into the bloodstream, for which my research tells me was a fib.

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.
