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 …

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 …

I saw a commercial for how you can wax it all off yourself and it won't ever grow back. I am so desparate I almost ordered a case of it Smile. Isn't there a pill to take that will get rid of it forever? Can't I pluck it out piece by piece? Smile UGH UGH UGH UGH. Where it hits my thighs sends me through the roof. I would prefer to walk super bull-legged so the legs don't touch. Sorry, had to get that off my chest.

I need a head count...HOW MANY OF YOU GIRLS HATE YOUR OWN PUBIC HAIR? Empty Shaved Kitty

Post  lavrose Sun Sep 09, 2012 8:54 pm

Well I dont shave my kitty, (heck no!!!) as it causes me to be even more prone to yeast and vaginal infections, I just trim it down, and shave the sides so I look good in a bathing suit. Ive gone as far as a landing strip but a wide one (lol!!).

Guys criticize me over this but who cares!!! NOBODY shaved back in the olden days and no one cares, if someone is really into you, they wont really care, right??

Dont get me wrong, a shaved kitty is Hot, and I dont know how other women do it (then again, I dunno how a women can have sex 3 times a day, everyday, as my kitty would be so sore Embarassed Sad ),
but I just cant do it. Ive got too many problems, plus Im half Jewish and I have really thick hair, so its a pain, when I DID shave, and it was tryin to grow back, it would like chafe me, and it was very uncomfortable and I was aware of it all the time.

I always hated mine. I have olive coloured skin and the blackest of black hair which always seemed massively thick!

I used to shave it all off, or sometimes leave a strip, but it would start to grow back the very next day so it was only smooth for one night, and it was so painful and sore when it came back through. Why on Earth there isn't a shaving relief cream for women is beyond me.

Anyway, I went from that to waxing. It was quite expensive but lasted a lot longer and was sooo smooooooth afterwards.

I got fed up of that eventually too though. The idea of having to go through all that hassle for the rest of my life drove me insane. I wanted to look nice in cute knickers and not worry about if there's any hair there or not.

So... Now I've had laser hair removal. I'd looked at it and researched it for months but knew I'd never be able to afford it. It was £190 per session, and you have to have 6-8 sessions 6 weeks apart. How crazy!

Fortunately they had an offer on so now I've been able to afford it. I'm two sessions in and I've hardly got any hair growth at all already. I'd definitely recommend it in an instant. And if you're going to go down the permanent route then I'd got for that instead of anything you can get in the shops. It's a sensitive area and you don't want to mess up your hair for life. You could end up all patchy!

I hope this is of use, and gooood luck!

Post  Rainy Day Mon Sep 10, 2012 8:47 pm

I just did a horrible thing...I ended up shaving it since it was driving me so nuts. Ugh...the pain with it growing back is excruciating. Has anyone else done something this stupid? And, how long of a flare did it create? I slept about 20 min last night. And, I have red bumps down there now. This crap never ends.

Post  Sunflower82 Tue Sep 11, 2012 6:30 am

Yep, I am one of those people! Not really discussed with anyone before. I have always tried to keep it nice a tidy, I use trimmers to keep it short. Which I have been doing for years with v and was never a problem untill the last year as my v symptoms got worse this became a nightmare. Problem is as it no longer looks tidy I always end up by doing it again, then I regret it as it itches like mad, walking down the street with the urge to scratch of all my skin. So would love to get rid of it all.

Laser hair removal treatment is the best thing if you want a hair less and smooth skin. it works by acting inside the dermis layer of skin so the results are very long-lasting. Its also safe and very comfortable.
