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 …

I HAVE FOUND THE CURE TO MY VULVODYNIA - BRISBANE AREA
Vulvo1 Sun Mar 23, 2014 6:07 am
Hi all you ladies!
I feel your pain. I have Vulvodynia & also Strep B. It put a massive strain on my relationship with my fiancé, nearly broke us up multiple times & also sent me into depression. The worst part was not being able to show my love to my fiancé, being too embarrassed to talk to anyone about the issue & basically being told I'm a freak by doctors after going through test after test, medication after medication, etc, etc & never having any results.
But I am here to tell you there is hope!! I am from around the Brisbane area & have been seeing Alyssa Tait from Equilibria at Salsibury. This woman is a miracle worker! I am still seeing her for issues related to my Strep B & PH levels but she has pretty much cured my Vuvodynia! Through her I have gone from not even being able to have my fiancé touch down there to being able to make love to him on a weekly basis in less than a year! This has happened through her amazing knowledge regarding this area, physio related exercises, using dilators & using supplements for zinc, magnesium as well as Blackmoore's Woman's Bio Balance probiotics & specific washes designed to "cleanse" & re-establish the PH levels (ones from Alyssa & the pharmacy - NOT the ones you get from a supermarket). There has also been research to state that using garlic can sometimes help (which is something I have been looking into).
I have also been seeing an amazing psychologist specialised in this area at Spring Hill, her name is Alice Hucker. Her main clients are women with our exact issues & she understands how much it can affect not only your sex life but also your confidence, relationships & how exhausting it is never getting answers!
Hope everything works out for you & hope I have given some of you a new path to finding an answer/cure for this!

Yeah I have been on 3 types of anti-biotics plus a cream from my gyno but nothing changed.. we believe I was born with it & there has been studies on women exactly like me using these alternative treatments & them working in 9 out of 10 they tested so that's why I am going down this road now
