To want to buy thrush cream in peace?

[PiperChapstick]

Went to pharmacy today to buy thrush cream, which is irritating enough in itself (pardon the pun). The consultation room was engaged and I was in a hurry so had to ask and detail my symptoms over the counter. Which would be fine if a couple of space invaders weren't so close i could feel their breath on my neck. Is it so much to ask to expect people not to be up my arse in the pharmacy. And does anyone have any cutting responses to up-bum-space-invaders?

Ooooh don't even get me started on the receptionist diagnosis and opinion.

Cream alone rarely works - you need a pessary or oral capsule to treat the internal infection.

We ask questions because many patients do not know the difference between thrush, bacterial infections and cystitis. In addition to that repeated episodes of thrush can be an indication of other conditions. It is fine to ask to use the consultation room and to wait if it is already being used.

I swear it was over use of thrush cream which caused vulvodynia so do heed PennyHassetts advice.

However YANBU re space invaders. What's wrong with people? Are they so desperate to get to the till they have to check how many grey hairs you have? Weird.

Its when you go into boots pharmacy,your trying to be discreet and the youngster holds it up at full arms length up in the air and yells to the pharmacists "C A N I S T A N " , for the whole world to realise your fannys itching today !! Thanks love !!!!!
