Flare, Flare go away!

So i'm currently about 1 month into a flare from hell and i'm so down about it. I was pain free for 3 years with no medication, no creams, NOTHING! and now my V is back with a vengeance. I'm so frustrated and my doctor just prescribed me lidocaine (which i find makes me burn more) JUST GREAT! On top of that I am using valium suppositories which are messy and not too helpful at the moment. She also gave me a referral to start PT but i'm currently finishing up a semester in school and have no time! When can we all be freed from this awful problem? Doctors need to step up their game because so many women are suffering and left with very little successful treatment options. I have generalized V which probably means I am not a candidate for surgery but you better believe I would attempt it to get out of this agony. Well wishes to all my fellow ladies here in the middle of a flare curled up in bed like me.

Mine came back after a little while too but I did have the surgery after it came.back. Be patient it might be ok again too but I hear you this deal sucks

did you have provoked V or generalized? I think the surgery is more successful in those with provoked which is not my case

Sorry I didn't see this until now, yeah, it was provoked thank god.

I am in same boat. Was pain free for 6 years. I'm into my second month of bad flare. First it was deep vaginal burning. That stopped, but now its clitoral pain and burn. I've been in bed for 2 days with icepack. I'm feeling helpless, sadness and want it all to end. I feel alone, I have no health insurance until 3 more weeks. I just want to cry til I can't cry anymore.

Well back from the ER. Pain was too much to handle. Doc put me on topamax. Let's see how this works. I just ask for the strength to make it through my work week.
