What type of doctor did you go to to get that? Do you have any side effects? Has it affected your systemic levels?shannon , I started using Estrace topically when I was 32. I went to my uro/gyn LOADED with info from the group. Told him that I knew it would have very little if any systemic absorption. I also told him that I KNEW he understands about the good effects estrogen can have on the uro/genital. And furthermore, I told him, SINCE the medical community says there is NO cure for the conditions I have (v.pain & IC) why NOT allow me to try something that MIGHT work! He allowed me to try it. You have to go to these appts being sure of the KNOWLEDGE yourself. I even have carried my Dr. Vliet book with me many times, opened it to a page, laid it on his desk and said READ THIS RIGHT HERE! Don't give up. The estrace has helped my skin more than anything else so far! Hugs, Chelle P.S. - Ask those who use Estrace to write a brief description of how it's helped their vulvar pain and take those emails with you!
