Re: MY OPINION ON THE OXALATE THEORY

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

It's just me again with a late response to a's post. Although my

vulvodynia was caused by yeast, I still got some relief (but not a whole

lot) with the calcium citrate/low oxalate diet. Here's my take on the

situation.

If the diet and calcium citrate lessen oxalate crystals in the urine then

that could relieve some vulvodynia symptoms. These crystals are supposed to

be razor sharp. So if by lowering the amount in our urine we're putting

less of them on damaged and inflamed tissue then I guess that could account

for the small relief in my symptoms.

Just my two cents, again.

See ya,

Robin

MY OPINION

From: a1127@...

Hi everyone this is a and I just want to share my opinions with all of

you. First, I DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE HIGH OXALATES IN URINE THEORY! I

actually think it's a joke. How do we even know if this doctor isn't just

making this up so he can make a lot of money? And where is the proof that

it

has actually cured or helped women with vulvodynia or vestibulitis? And why

don't gynecologists inform women that calcium citrate is a possible

treatment? That is just a theory I'll never believe in. Now I want to talk

about nerve damage. THAT'S A JOKE TOO! Explain to me how a women can be

perfectly normal for all her life without any pain with intercourse or any

pain or burning at all down there and then just wake up one day and have

nerve damage??????? Does that make sense to you??? Well, it doesn't to me

and that's why when doctors have told me I have nerve damage I LAUGH because

it's highly unlikely. My one gynecologists even agreed with me on that one.

He said that nerve damage just doesn't happen overnight. So I will never

believe in that theory for my body anyway! Sure I could understand a women

having nerve damage because they were raped or had a viral infection of some

kind or had cancer down there but other than that I think there has to be a

cause of the nerve damage itself, I don't understand how a women can just

get

nerve damage one day. However, I do believe in yeast infecting the tissues,

and an overgrowth of lactobacillus, various vulvar dermatoses, STD's,

cancer,

but I don't believe in vulvodynia or vestibulitis caused by just nerve

damage, I believe there has to be a cause of the nerve damage! I am so sick

of these doctors telling me I have nerve damage and when they give me a

treatment and say it will work and then doesn't work IT REALLY PISSES ME

OFF!!!!!!!!! Because what else am I supposed to do? LIVE WITH THIS? I DON'T

THINK SO! It's about time a doctor has done something that DOES WORK FOR

ME,

I DESERVE IT! I'm through with suffering and I don't need to take it

anymore, it's about time I stuck up for myself and demanded some answers for

the amount of money that is being paid. How, how do we get the relief we

need? Who is making the mistakes here, why isn't there more being done

about

this? I hate this world and the way it works. I feel as if us women are

being discriminated against when it comes down to something being wrong with

are crotches, NO ONE CARES! Obviously, or else us women would not be going

through this horror today. The researches and doctors should have done

something about this along time ago BUT NO, JUST BECAUSE IT CAN'T BE

SEXUALLY

TRANSMITTED, AND MEN DON'T GET THE SAME THING, NO ONE CARES AND NO ONE

THINKS

ITS IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO FIND THE CURE FOR IT, OR AT LEAST THE

CAUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!! So why am I upset? BECAUSE MY VULVA IS CONSTANTLY ON

FIRE

AND THERE IS NOT ONE THING THAT I CAN DO ABOUT IT, NOTHING AT ALL! It's

just

not right to have to suffer like this, it's driving me insane. I know some

of you know exactly how I feel but I just had to get it out of my system.

Thanks.

Sincerely,

a
