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- …

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 …

Don't let Vulvodynia win. You are so much stronger than you realize!!!
Hello my darlings, I see so many of you who say things like "I feel worthless, I am useless, I am being punished for something I did, I just want to die, there is no hope...........". I want to tell you all that you are somebody special. You are precious. You did nothing wrong. There is hope and life is worth living. I know, I went through all of this, saying the same things, thinking the same things. I became angry at the world. I wanted to die. I would lay in bed and cry. But my depression, my hopelessness, my fears would turn into HOPE! I would spend hours on the computer trying to find a Dr., find meds., find any information that would help. I have had this for over 5 yrs, maybe over 6 yrs, I have lost count. But all that those hours, days, weeks, months of working to find a Dr. and answers paid off. Things are so much better for me now. I am not 100% better but most days I hardly have any pain. I do have my bad days, bad weeks but I know things will get better. Heck, I can even have sex now.
What ever you do, keep fighting. Don't give up. You can beat this thing. Don't let it win. Hold on to hope my darlings. Hold on tight.
Love to all of you
Cookie

Thanks Cookie, I cried just reading your words! So happy it's working out for you finally, you deserve it so much. Are you in the U.K.? If so, do you mind me asking what doctor you were referred to? I'm currently in the middle of trying to find a good one!

Re: Don't let Vulvodynia win. You are so much stronger than you realize!!!
Kezz, Hi hun. No I am not in the UK, so sorry. I am in Arizona in the U.S.A. The Dr. who helped me has retired from gynecology and is now working with mens health issues but he told me that if I ever needed his help, that he would make a special exception for me. Matter of fact I have an apt. to see him on April 5th because the Arizona heat is really causing me problems with my Vulvodynia.
I wish you all the best of luck.
Love to you
Cookie

Thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement. I have def had those thoughts, especially being punished for past things I've done. So I appreciate it very much. I'm glad yours has gotten better and I hope your doc visit yields some good results in dealing with that Arizona heat.

Hey! What were your symptoms with vulvodynia? I have severe burning some days, other days a stinging on my left side. I'm in alot of discomfort, and I just try to work through it. I'm on Amitriplyline 25 mg at night, and gabapentin 300 mg 3 x a day. I feel so tried and don't know about upping the dose. The sensations In my vagina are so weird and just stay there all day!
