Gabapentin Gel. or other topical creams

Thu May 10, 2018 9:43 am by Rosie21

Hi I have been suffering for some years with this abominable pain. I have tried most of the systemic drugs , I asked specialists and Doctors if I could at least try a topical treatment but because this requires a special prescription have been refused Has anybody had a chance of trying these? Thank you I will try to put a link on to some of the research into Gabapentin Gel. Thanks.

Putnams 'bony parts' cushion or Putnams 'Dr Huff' cushion - which is best?

Sat Aug 01, 2015 4:17 pm by Fielder

Hi everyone,

I'm a newbie.  I live in the UK.  

I'm trying to work out the best cushion to get for my vulvodynia.  I suspect that I could have pudendal nerve involvement (the aching and burning pain is from vagina to clitoris) and I have rectocele and some tailbone pain too.

I have seen some good reports on older threads regarding the Putnams pressure relief cushions....with some ladies …

An absolute success story- please read!

Dear All,

I posted on here back in March 2017 having just got a diagnosis of vulvodynia after a few months of relentless and acute pain. I was desperate, I was hurting, I was scared I would never know life without pain there again.

I tried creams, acupuncture, numbing gels, frozen pads, baths with various internet recommended concoctions- convinced myself I had lichen sclerosus, herpes, thrush- …

MonaLisa Touch

Fri Feb 08, 2019 7:35 pm by rl2091

Hi All,

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the MonaLisa Touch treatment for Vulvodynia? My pain started when I went on HRT(pill) for anxiety mainly and my pain abruntly stopped when I stopped HRT. However, when I started on the HRT patch (at my dr's suggestion), the pain returned and has never left. That was 7 years ago. I found MonaLisa Touch on the internet purely by accident …

Hi All,

I’m so glad I’ve found a place where there are others who understand how I feel!

So this is my story:-

I’m 36,  and 4 months ago, whilst innocently sitting in bed reading I experienced a very sharp stabbing pain in my clitoris. It last only a few minutes and then subsided as quickly as it came on. It put it down to “one of those things”.  The following morning I woke up …

New and need advice and help

Wed Dec 05, 2018 3:26 pm by Cin124

Hi everyone,

About three months ago, I started having vaginal and vulval itching. Then, about two months ago, my vulva started to feel painful and look swollen, so I went to the doctor. I was tested for herpes, chlamydia, and gonorrhea which all came back negative. I also had to do a vaginal swab test and the only thing that came back positive was yeast infection. I was prescribed hydrozole …

Hi Ladies,

I was just wondering what types of soaps/body washes/detergents you use to avoid irritating your V. Right now i use Aveeno body wash because it is scent free. I'm in the midst of a huge flare and just want to avoid and possible irritants

Soaps/Body Washes Empty Soaps and body washes

Post  Sunflower82 Tue May 13, 2014 5:37 am

Hi,
I try and use a body wash that is free from parabens and sulfates! And is frangrance free a good brand is jason(not cheap though) I only use aquoeous cream down below, but if I'm having a bad patch then I will just wash with water and make sure I wash my hair over the bath rather than washing it in the shower just to make sure the shampoo etc doesn't get down below!

I don't use strong washing powders or fabric softern so use the Eco egg for my clothes and at one stage I washed my pants in a different soap ! Dr. Bronner's Castile Liquid Soap .

Hope this helps

Kt

If you have Whole Foods or Trader Joes near you try getting everything organic and without a scent. Same with pads/tampons/panty liners.

Post  aspaceodyssey Tue May 13, 2014 2:09 pm

I have been using bar soap for a while now and I try to buy ones that are as gentle and natural as possible and fragrance free. some good ones I've tried are olivella, toms of maine, aveeno oatmeal soap...dove sensitive skin soap isn't bad. I'm thinking of trying their sensitive body wash because I do like body wash better, just stopped using it because of all the irritants, but maybe that one is gentle enough...

oh, and nellie's laundry soda is the detergent I use. not sure if it's in stores but you can buy it on amazon.

I have been using either Simple soap or Dove sensitive. Also found imperial leathers skin kind and family kind range good. I use these in the shower but I don't sit in a bath with soap or body wash I only use pure salt.
