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 …

An absolute success story- please read!

Fri Mar 08, 2019 10:57 pm by Persevere1990

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 …

grrrr i hae insomnia, my eyes are burning with tiredness but my mind is buzzing!!

anyway, my news....

Got round to doing an IGG (delayed reaction) food intolerance test. I am shocked at the results!!!

Level 4 (bad reaction) to YEAST. My gynae problems started with bad bad yeast infections everytime sex happened. progressing into vestibulitis.
Level 3 (still bad but not as) COWS MILK. I kind of knew that as i was poorly with it as a kid.
Level 2 GLUTEN (gliadin) bugger thats my starbucks carrot cake out the window then!
Level 1 CASHEW, EGG WHITE, EGG YOLK, KIWI, PINEAPPLE.

So!!! looks like that told me! Smile

glad in a way as it confirms what dr crandall says about being hypersenstive to yeast.

fingers crossed it'll help, if not just to loose some weight n feel generally better! (ive got to try and be positive as its so friggin depressing knowing my fav foods are now banned..booooooo!)

it was £200 (on offer as usually £250) and from Yorktest. it was the 113 iGG test.

HAVE A LOOK GIRLS!! I MIGHT BE BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE BUT ITS WORTH A GO IF NOTHING ELSE Smile
