Xylocaine (lidocaine) spray is working as a temporary fix

I was in so much pain that I wasn't sleeping and couldn't focus on anything so I went to my local pharmacy/chemist. I spoke with the chemist privately, really nice guy, he said although he didn't know a lot about vvd he had heard of it. A lot of the options I'd already tried, so he suggested this spray. I'd tried a lidocaine gel before that you apply with syringe but it really didn't numb me enough and made me extra sore. However, this spray stuff is really helping! I just needed some relief til my next appointment on Nov 18th. He said this stuff is used by dentists and because it's safe for the delicate mouth membranes, it should be okay for inside the vagina. It even says in the leaflet that it can be used during childbirth. He said to spray every couple hours and see how you go. So far so good! I had a bit of trouble getting the bluddy nozzle to work but if you spray it a few times it starts to. It does sting slightly at first but then really seems to numb the pain for a couple hours. And it contains essence of banana!

Aww hun love ya too hope it gives you some relief aswell! Have you had your appointment at st marys yet? Xx

I just got my referral letter today ! It says it takes 4 to 6 weeks. They will be performing a biopsy according to their letter.
Right now I am stuffing my face with cod oil (anti-inflammatory), B12, Calcium and Magnesium for my nerve pain and pulsating.

I am very curios if they will be able to help me, St Mary's is one of the few with their own Vulval Pain Clinic.
I'm perfectly realistic though...I have three problems down there: vaginismus, bartholin gland recurring cysts plus VVS.

Ahh I see! Hopefully it is closer to 4 weeks then. Bless you having 3 things down there to deal with, 1 is bad enough!  if they are specialist I'm sure they will be able to do something for you! If I have no success with my next appointment I will be booking in with a specialist. I really feel we can all get better if we try and try and try!

How long have you had your problem, Tinkerbelle? Bless you, I love Brigthon! and you're so young still, be positive! I'm sure the body DOES heal itself in time. It has to !

Like 3 years I hope so! Ah you've been to btn? It is a nice place to live, was born here

oh no, I hope you get relief soon! Yes, I have been to Brighton. Really lovely
