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- …

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 …

Crotchless tights
Loulou Thu Mar 15, 2012 5:28 pm
Hi all
Recently found some open gusset (sounds better than crotchless!) tights made by Pretty Polly (got them from Amazon
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0009IKCO2/ref=wms_ohs_product
I've always hated wearing tights but now that i'm confined to skirts i've got no choice till the weather warms up. These are vvd friendly and comfortable (takes a bit of tweaking to get the open bit straight) so I'd recommend them.
I also wanted some thicker woollen tights for when it was colder. I didn't find any open gusset ones but did find a thicker woollen stocking to wear with a suspender belt and these did the trick - they worked with a normal suspender belt.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001G4LSF0/ref=wms_ohs_product
But I'm still determined that I will one day wear my jeans again...

Crotchless tights are amazing!! I found some in M&S (or it might have been BHS). Mine don't look particularly attractive around the crotch area but what the hey, it's not like anyone's gonna see!

Have you seen this website: uktights (im new so not allowed to put in the full link!) but it is dot com
it is really good for all kinds of tights, I have got some crotchless ones on there and some great thicker thigh high socks. The service is excellent, next day delivery friendly service.
I am not 100% sure the crotchless ones are any good, I do still feel some pain, when wearing them, but not as much as with proper tights.
I love the socks though! and thank god its nearly summer, (come on summer) and I can wear skirts and bare (pale and pasty) legs!

Thanks for the reference bluekangaroo - i'll check it out. But I agree, so much better when the summer finally comes and we can go bare-legged - roll on the sun!
