Hi I have been suffering for some years with this abominable pain.

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 …

An absolute success story- please read!

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 …

For vulvodynia, there are good and bad days. Today is a bad day. I woke up and felt the discomfort right away "down there" and sat on the toilet for little more than hour. The acidic feeling did not go away so I went to the shower and laid on the floor, soaking myself in the hot water. It helped, but what really helps is getting out of the shower and sitting on my bed and putting my heating pad where my belly is, right above my groin area. It really does help and I urge all of you to buy a heating pad (you can buy it online if you're too uncomfortable to go out and buy it - like me) and it may help you significantly. Either that, or try a ice-pack and wrap it in a towel or cloth and place it where you feel discomfort. That is all I can offer you, but I want to share a slice of hope with you guys today on this lovely Sunday day. Moved by all the hopeless women suffering with this TERRIBLE illness that is probably directly linked to Satan I am never going to forget this phase in my life, because I am surely going to find a cure one way or another. When I'm older and an adult (i'm only 16), I'm going to donate more than a million dollars to a research facility that focuses on vulvodynia and make sure they find a cure for all you women. Never give up, I believe this illness, despite its HUGE inconvenience and discomfort, has happened to us for a reason. At least I hope so. It teaches us to be more grateful for life and its simple pleasures, like jeans and going out without feeling uncomfortable, and it will make us feel more alive when we find a CURE (because I know we ALL can find a cure, there is HOPE!!) than if we had never experienced this condition. Never give up xxx (ever)
P.S. Have a good day, or at least, try to be positive sunny
