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- …

hey, im 19, ive been struggling with this almost a year. The first week I became itchy I went in to check about a yeast infection another week later.

I was first told basically to just go home and use hydrocortazone, then I went …

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: Pain Free Fashion
Skirts & sundresses in nice weather, cuz you have to skip the hose/tights. Sometimes in cold weather I'll wear tights with a skirt until I get to someone's house and then I'll go to the bathroom and take them off and stuff them in my bag. Then put them on before I go outside again.

Re: Pain Free Fashion
Skirts are obviously the most pain free option, though not always the most practical. For cold weather, I find Charnos modal tights to be the only ones I can stand to wear for any length of time. Also, Charnos do quite thick hold-ups in various colours. I have not previously been able to tolerate hold-ups, but find these quite comfy and the only thing that makes me feel remotely sexy or elegant. You can buy them on-line. Just Google 'Charnos'. For trousers, I find good old M & S to be the best place to shop. They do pull-on trousers in light, stretchy fabric (not the warmest, but you can wear leggings underneath). Mostly, they are not the most stylish and tend to sag at the knees after a while, but I find them comfy except on really bad days. I did find a rather more elegant pair in the per-una section. Obviously, it's best to get them a little on the large side. Recently, I bought a pair of what I can only describe as 'old women's' jeans. They are stretchy with an elasticated waist and far too big. Alone they look terrible, but with a long baggy shirt they actually look OK. The good thing is that the crotch is so low it doesn't touch me.

Re: Pain Free Fashion
Instead of tights in warmer weather you can wear hold up stockings under a skirt. Get a good pair of stockings tho from a good shop no cheap ones as they fall down
