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 …

Post  RainyShay77 Wed Dec 06, 2017 2:50 am

So 7 years ago I had a case of BV...the antibiotic caused a horrible yeast infection which took 5 months to 'get rid of'. During this time I had allergic reactions to 2 of the yeast infection creams which magnified the pain. Over the past 7 years I've tried multiple rounds of physical therapy (they only slightly helped), chiropractic, nerve blocks, medications to target nerve pain (amitriptyline, neurontin, lyrica, flexeril) to no avail. The only time I seem to get relief is if I take Diflucan. I mentioned this to my gyn and a few years ago I did a candida diet for 6 months...we did daily Diflucan for 2 weeks (at the end of the 2 weeks I honestly thought I was cured). Then we did 3 pills a week and then went down to 1 pill a week. By the 1 pill a week my symptoms were flared back up. We repeated the 2 weeks an additional 2 times. Sadly, each time the same thing would happen when I got to the 1 pill a week. My specialist now thinks it is nerve related, but I am becoming skeptical. None of the medications have eased the pain at all, only the Diflucan. I don't date, mostly because I don't want to saddle some poor guy with a 'broken' woman who could never be intimate. At this point, I feel like I'll have to spend forever alone. If anyone has ever experienced relief with Diflucan or could offer suggestions I'd be so happy to speak with you. Thank you.

Hello, dear friend!
I understand you, I am in this condition for the last 2 year, I know what you mean about burning, itching and other kinds of terrible pain. Other women in this forum too. I want to tell you that you can not be in this state forever. No one can be in this state forever. Every woman has to go a long way to find her successful treatment. Have you tried botox injections? Laser? Surgery? You must continue finding of your own treatment, because every woman has various reasons for the pain. Be strong and read more literature about your illness, find research about your symptoms. You will be successful! (sorry for my English, it is my 2nd language)

I battled V for 15 years and I consider myself cured now. During that time I saw 15/20 western docs and 15+ alternative docs. It was ridiculous. I found a few things that helped and learned how to manage the pain but I never considered myself cured until Anthony William's protocols. Basically, according to him 90% of vaginal burning cases are caused by an unknown/currently undetectable strain of the strep. The other 10% are caused by unknown/currently undetectable strain of the shingles. I had both. FML. His strep protocol cured the internal/outer burning. Then his shingles protocol cured a rash I would sometimes get. Yeast infections are also caused by strep.

Go to my blog. Scroll down to the necessary reading section. Listen to all those shows listed. For you, I would start with the strep, candida and UTI shows. He actually mentions antifungal medications in the UTI show. He says they will help temporarily but will not fix the underlining problem. Don't worry, he explains how to fix it for good. His stuff works. It worked for me.

And yes, my vagina is back to her normal self. I can have wild sex and I'm totally fine, during and after. Sorry for TMI.... sex was always the ultimate test. Don't give up hope. You are not doing this alone. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you both for your responses Smile I'll look into your blog. If I ask my doctor to test for strep is there a certain strain I should mention to her?

Unfortunately, there are currently no tests for these strains. The reason I know that Anthony William's recommendations worked was because I tried the strep protocol and it worked. So I figured that I had strep. There was a remaining rash, so I tried the shingles protocol and that cleared up the rash. I did it backwards.

How much is a bushel of cilantro - is that just what you normally get in a bunch at the grocery store?

At least a cup of cilantro. When I was really sick I would use at least 1/2 bunch to a whole bunch. Try listening to your body. Those small preferences are actually your body trying to communicate what it needs.

Yes, I just use a blender and a nut bag myself. Keep me posted!
