Hi all,

It's only me again. I've been corresponding with a vulvodynia sufferer who

is not a listmember who lives in Dallas. She saw Dr. on Monday, May

10 and this is part of a note I received from her earlier this week. I have

her permission to forward it to the list.

I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THE WAY DR. DAVIS AND STAFF TREATED ME. HE DIDN'T

>GIVE MY " PROBLEM " A NAME; BUT DID A " WET SMEAR " AND SAID I HAVE SOME YEAST

>AND A BLADDER INFECTION. GAVE ME 3 SAMPLES OF TERAZOL 3, TO USE ONE TUBE

>EACH NITE FOR 3 NITES; THEN GET A PRESC. FILLED FOR 3 MORE IN 10 DAYS. ALSO

>SOME samples of the antibiotic Macrobid; to use one in am, one pm, for 5

>days. start using Orthodiestiol (estrogen) 1/2 applicataor in vagina

>(beginning this Sat) every nite until all used up.

>I am already somewhat better. Some burning, but not as severe. of course,

>I'm not home free; he said if i was not totally well, to come back in 2

>months. He took my hand, in a kind way; and said: I promise to " fix you. "

>I said is this a guarantee> and he said, " absolutely. "

>you see, i've had the condition just barely over one year, and do not

>dr. i've seen who has done ONE thing for me...all rest wasted money and

time

>and pain. will let you know how I am in one month and let you know again

if

I hope this encourages other listmembers to come see Dr. !
