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 …

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 …

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 …

Re: Fuck this disorder.
I just missed my 50th, yes 50th highschool reunion last night because of this damn burning. I will never ever see these people again. I'm not young as you can see. I guess that is a plus, it means I won't have to live like this for as long as some of you poor girls. I've had mine for 3 years status post pelvic fracture/trauma. I just get sick thinking that my last days on this earth are going to be so miserable. I've done PT, I'm doing yoga and Amy Steins exercises. Still there. Has ruins my relationship with my husband of 48 years. Oh, he's not leaving me, too many years under the bridge, but we are not close anymore, it's like he is afraid to be close to me physically and emotionally. That really sucks. I feel so so freaking alone. You girls are the only ones who can understand. It's just too embarrasing to talk about to people.

Re: Fuck this disorder.
Sometimes I read posts and don't know what to say so I say nothing. But I know how lonely this pain makes people feel, so just wanted to say I hear you.

Re: Fuck this disorder.
I have been thinking a lot today about the ladies on this forum. How can this be a real thing!!!!!!
I am new to the vulvodynia diagnosis, so am still working through my anger, denial, depression etc. I keep thinking about the diagnosis. At first I was so happy to have a diagnosis, I thought "now I have something to treat". All vulvodynia is is a word for "it hurts and no one can figure out why". I knew that before I got the label.
I have a very new relationship with someone I feel I could really make it work with. It wont go anywhere. We just cant really develop any real intimacy. I have been alone for years and was sooooo hopeful.

I know what you are feeling. All our intimacy is gone. No one can understand. I took two tramadol yesterday and it helped but I will run out of my dogs pain meds soon and then am I going to do? I only take them when it gets so bad I want to die.

Re: Fuck this disorder.
I still say if it was acid on a man's penis someone would have done something about this before now. We need someone in congress to fight for research. We need to be squeaky wheel and start making noise. That is the only way anyone gets anywhere in this country. Look at all the stuff different "groups" have gotten in this country. It wasn't by being quiet and saying whoa is me. They are loud and they are unrelenting. That is what we need to be heard. Wish I knew how to get it started. It's just that this thing is so dam embarrasing. I'm going to see my interness this morning and I DREAD this conversation because i know I am going to break down and cry like I always do and he's going to think I'm an idiot.

Re: Fuck this disorder.
Hello Ladies, I totally understand!!! I was so depressed at first because all those pills, ointments, creams, lotions, procedures.....didn't work. Then the anger came. I wanted to blame the entire world. Then I turned that anger into determination. I did research so that I would know what I was talking about when I talked to Dr.s. I finally found a great Dr. who really improved my pain issues but I still needed more help. Then this wonderful Dr. retires. I was devastated!!! But he gave me a referral to see another Dr. and I can already tell that he is totally lost when it comes to this. He isn't anything like my other Dr. who's techniques were way far advanced. I have a terrible feeling that this guy is going to throw more gels, creams, lotions, ointments........at me. I feel like I'm starting all over again.

Hi, I just joined and I could not agree more - Fuck This Disorder.
Why me, is all I think. And yet I'm sure my husband thinks its just because "I don't want to." Couldn't be further from the truth.
