pompa how lucky are you to have such a switched on Doctor some Doctor's don't listen to us sometime's do they ? hoping all goes well for you take care

pompa - so pleased that some cheeky banter here has led you to a diagnosis, hope all goes well. Perhaps you'll keep us informed - not too much information though....!!

Yogagran, I'll let you know as soon as things start looking up.

I think you are being cheeky now, too, pompa!

We've obviously led him astray - poor pompa

Just as well we're women of the world......

Good luck pompa you did well to get it sorted.

A lovely, slightly posh lady in my writers' group was saying she was widowed a few years ago. Someone asked her how she had coped. She said: "Oh, I miss him I suppose, but the real problem is that I never get a shag, these days."

It gave us all a laugh with her, but the truth is, not many widows admit this problem. She is a nice looking woman in her late 60s/early 70s, so I'm a bit surprised she hasn't had any offers - or fanciable ones anyway.

It's the fanciable ones she'd have wanted though, I suppose.......

Love it Joan, what is a woman of a certain age supposed to do ?

Well, I advised her to do the U3A Italian course - the tutor is European and mad as a March hare.

Well, you never know.....

That's a lovely tale Joan - thanks for that

Good luck Pompa, I'm so glad that we've helped you! Hope everything goes well for you.

You were posting very early this morning Pompa, you O.K?

Yes thanks Zephrine, woke early and couldn't get stuff out of my mind. This has been an awful week, lots of rubbish things happened. Mostly to do with other friends and family, but all stuff that time will sort out, difficult not to worry about it though. Slept better last night, some stuff already sorting itself out.
Once my brothers funeral is over on Tuesday things will be much calmer.

Thinking of you Pompa

Ah - sorry to hear about your brother Pompa.

FYI, I now have my MRI scan booked for next Tuesday, so should know more by the end of the week.

Thats good pompa not to long to wait.

Was wondering where you were, pompa. Glad to hear things are on the move for you.

Yes glad you are getting prompt service. So they will look at the inside of your head will they...?

Has anyone tried estrogen vaginal cream, am thinking of getting some.doctor has given me various creme to try not very successful.Dryness and itching driving me mad,came off HRT six years ago,libido non existent,wondering would this help?

Elenka I can't help you but I think there was a thread not long ago along those lines, so I'm sure someone will be able to help.

I just re-read this thread, and had a chuckle. The whole tone of Gransnet has changed now, it seems much more serious, which I think is a shame.

Re the original subject, my circumstances have changed along with my name (I used to be nanachrissy).
My 'friend with benefits' moved away just over a year ago, so I've had an unwanted break from sex.
I've been rather grumpy!

However, an old friend has just come back into my life, and we are hopefully going to put a smile on each others face

He is 71 and I am 67, so there is always hope while there's a twinkle in your eye.

Ella, glad things are looking up!

Elenk - I was prescribed the oestrogen cream, it was great. i then had a slight bleed, which is a possible side effect. Of to women's health who confirmed I was well, but I had to come off the cream. Back to the drawing board
