Hi I have been suffering for some years with this abominable pain.

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 …

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 …

Vulvodynia burning mouth and bladder discomfort  Empty Vulvodynia burning mouth and bladder discomfort

Post  Annmaria Sat Oct 15, 2016 12:35 am

I have been diagnosed with vulvodynia and I also have burning mouth pain at the same time. I was convinced I must have herpes simplex but I have exhaustively tested negative for this including having a western blot test which is the gold standard test for herpes simplex.
Now I just don't know what to do and would love to hear from anyone who might be able to advise... Is there anyone out there who has experienced burning mouth and vulvodynia together and if so did you find anything to help relieve the discomfort of the mouth?
I also find with the V symptoms I get a full bladder feeling... it isn't cystitis but is uncomfortable... any advice on dealing with this also?
I've given up on trying to get any medical support and I have been asked by doctors if I suffer health anxiety... no one seems to understand that this is real!
I just want one pain free day but suspect that this just isn't going to happen
I'm 57 and so post menopausal

Thanks very much

Annmaria

Post  PainBlogger Sat Oct 15, 2016 10:21 am

With regards to the bladder symptoms I'd suggest (if you're not already doing this) cutting out: caffeine, alcohol, carbonated drinks, artificial sweeteners, and citrus fruits/juice. Decaffeinated tea/coffee is best avoided too as it's still acidic and can irritate. I still have some caffeine because I do eat chocolate, but by cutting out the above and switching to redbush tea or peppermint tea as my hot drinks I noticed a lot less urge to empty my bladder when I didn't really need to. I don't limit my fluids - in fact, I drink about 10-12 large mugs of (redbush/peppermint) tea per day plus plain water. When I empty my bladder now it is generally pretty full and I empty 6-7 times a day, which is normal.

I can't offer any advice on the burning mouth issue. I don't get that thankfully.

I hope you get some relief soon.

Thank you so much!

I do drink redbush as it's the closest to thinking you are drinking tea and I make a lot of teas from herbs I grow. Is the bladder thing a common symptom? I am so confused with this partly because of the mouth symptoms ( which now I think about it probably started first) I really struggle with not understanding why I have got this which is why I assumed I must have had herpes simplex .

I think some of this for me is learning to not overthink things and if I could just get one symptom under control it would be a relief!

Thanks again

A lot of women with vulvodynia also have some bladder involvement. It's not surprisingly really given how close together everything is down there.

I used to have burning tongue and mouth....thought it would never go away. This was before I got vulvadynia. It did go away but I wonder if the burning is somehow related. I also got atrial fibrillation in between! It's been a tough couple of years.

Hi Eliza
Sounds as though you have had a tough time! I think the Vulvodynia started a little before the burning mouth for me but the mouth burning is what really gets to me. I have recently had some days where it has been OK and then it comes back. It doesn't seem as bad now though. I was wondering however: How long did you have it for and did you find you got some days without it once it started to go away?
I have some medication from the doctor but I've been coping better using meditation and trying to reduce stress by not obsessing over it !
I do think there must be a connection between the two conditions but I don't come across many people who experience it!
Thank you for your reply
