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 …

Sex toys etc ;)
Ok here are the links to the stuff Dr Glazer recommended
http://www.vulvodynia.com/Store/Store%20Main.htm - scroll down to the bottom to see the scorpio rising dildo, it comes in different sizes - to use instead of hard plastic dilators, silicone is recommded material for all dildos
http://evesgarden.com/adult_sex_toys/Dildos/ - again scroll down the scorpio rising is cheaper on this site
http://evesgarden.com/Magic-Wand.html - this is the Magic Wand yes expensive but is recommended as the frequencies do not irritate the clitoras
http://www.amazon.com/Let-Count-Ways-Discovering-Intercourse/dp/0874779561 - the book recommeded for great sex without intercourse
Right Im blowing this months wages on sex toys... hehe
Re: Sex toys etc ;)
Note: for girls in the uk you can get the Magic Wand on Amazom.co.uk as Eves garden only ships to us or canada
It is advertised as a massager and I think originally was made for this but its become quite famous for its use as a sex toy that is comfortable and not so intense as the average vibrators
Re: Sex toys etc ;)
I'm loving your new hobby!!!
Can I also add that once you get comfortable with yourself SEX will change forever! WHY sex is still a male dominated pass time I don't know, they could have sex with a hole in the ground. Learning to love yourself is the greatest gift of all! Hahhaaa I wonder if that was the true intention of that song???

Prefer hard plastic
No silicone for me! It's way too much friction against tissues that are already sore. My toys are hard plastic, as smooth as possible, and lots of lubrication, as little rubbing and pulling on the skin as possible. I can't imagine how anyone with vulvar pain would want to use silicone products. I wanted to buy a glass vibrator, but alas, the only one in the shop was way too big for sore me! I use one called "my first anal toy" - it's very thin (about 1/2 inch diameter) and hard plastic, so not too much painful stretching or pulling on the skin with penetration. This is for pleasure, not pain, and not physio! A woman without pain would probably find such a small toy to be quite inadequate, but it works for me....
Thanks for the book title - my local public library actually has a copy! I can't wait to read it!

Hey,
I am about to delve into 'Lets Count the Ways' with my hubby. I have read the first part which is about how sex is not just about penetration. It's aiming to reframe the way people think about sex which I think is a really positive.
