[Guest guest]

Hi

Just to let you know that Aqueous

cream is water based, there is no petroleum jelly in it. Please can someone tell me what Atropine

is ??,

Kind regards

Mandy

Hi Kay,

You don't have to. I was just curious and if I get really curious -

I'll ask

my pharmacist next time I pick up my Atropine cream if aqueous cream is

petroleum based. When the prescription has to be renewed, I think

I'll suggest to

my doctor that it be compounded with something that might be more

moisturizing

and keep the glands working up to speed.

<<i was just very lucky that a lady who works part-time in my local

pharmacy

used to be a drug rep and she called a company who said " no

problem " . so my

wonderful gp wrote me a script for it and 4 days later i had two little

jars.

for some strange reason they charged my doctor an absolute fortune -

atropine

and aqueous cream are hardly expensive hard-to-come by

ingredients!!!>>

No wonder the company said no problem when they charge a fortune for

it.

<ggg>

<<aqeous cream spreads really well and so i find i only use the

tiniest

amount. i don't want the area to be full of cream and be unable to breathe

and i

don't want to affect the ph - i try let my skin heal itself if

possible.>>

I was using less than the prescription called for, for similar

reasons. At

first I went with a tiny amount to see how I would react to it. When

I didn't

have an adverse reaction and it was stopping my after sex burning pain, I

didn't use much more since it spread easily and if I used more, I'd be

rubbing it

in and in and in and that just seemed like too much. But then I

thought maybe

so much was prescribed because I'm supposed to use it on a larger area,

just

not the tiny pain areas around my hymen. So I went deeper into my

vagina

(which helped with inflammation there) and spread it further out into my

vestibule

too - just not right at the entrace into my vagina where I hurt.

Probably

using more and spreading it further around slowed down the lubrication

factory.

I'm back to applying it just to the hymen area again and if I feel

inflammation again deeper into my vagina, I'll just apply Atropine into

that area a few

times a week and hopefully that will help.

<<i don't use it every day, i'm not sure why but just apply it as and

when i

feel the need.>>

Do you feel like it's helping with pain and inflammation even if you don't

use it every day?

I may cut my Atropine applications back to once a day until I get my glands

operating like they used to. I should price emu oil on the internet

this

afternoon when I'm doing some of my Christmas shopping for books and

cds. With

free shipping at & Noble and Amazon - I just can't quite think

of a reason

to actually go into a book or music store since I know what I want.

If I

went into a store, I'd probably end up buying books and cds for me

too. <ggg>
