Guest guest Posted November 30, 2000 Report Share Posted November 30, 2000 Hi Kathy thats exactly how my symtoms began kept getting tears and burning etc and by the time i saw the speacialist no sign of them, he said it was tension causing them, ugh ! that man has a lot to answer for 5 years later got diagnosed, anyway all the bleeding had a big effect on me and hubby, we went for psychosexual therapy as sex terrified and repulsed me, it was her that lead me to the consultant that diagnosed me, spent 15 months of councelling which we went to together, goodluck, you will feel releived when you get a diagnoses, i felt better when i knew what i was dealing with even though its not easy to get rid of, if its getting to you i really recommend seeing a proper psychosexual therapist, i wish i had gone sooner, hubby needed to talk about thing too and helped him alot. I wash with aqueous cream now which eases irritation a bit, soap and shampoo etc in bath water really agravates it, also i put aqueous cream on before i go swimming and thats stopped the chlorine burning all the best Vicki > hi, > my name is kathy and i just found this group. i have been have tearing at the > vestibule during intercourse for nearly a year. every time i went to my gyn, > he did not see anything. today i had a biopsy. as soon as he just touched the > area, i started to bleed. he thinks i have vestibulitis. i should know something > tomorrow since i work in the pathology dept. i do not have itching and it stings > where i rip. i have become afraid of sex. my husband feels guilty when this > happens. the gyn mentioned cream to treat this instead of surgery. what are > the surgeries for this?? anyone use the creams and get better?? thanks. > kathy j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 You need to find a new doctor! He sounds like he's from the stone ages. I'm also assuming that you have a copay, which is a waste if he's ordering outdated tests and is such an aggressive bull-dozer about YOUR health. What dose of $ynthroid were you on? Transitioning from $ynthroid to Armour can be challenge, especially if you have an inept doctor. SAMMIE --- " Dawn B. " wrote: > Hi everyone - > > I'm new to your group and new to taking Armour.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Hi Dawn, welcome to the group. One thing you can do now to tell better your adrenal situation is to do a temperature graph. Follow the instructions fund at www.drrind.com and he even has graph sheets you can download. This was you will know what is what, thyroid or adrenal. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV My Ebay Jewelry Store http://stores.ebay.com/valeriescrystalcreations http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 That is awesome! I would be willing to pay that for testing. I'll look into that. Thanks, Dawn Sammie Baker wrote: Well, many folks have insurance but pay out of pocket for the appropriate testings etc. I dont even get my meds from my Endo as she refuses to prescribe even though previous docs of mine have. I just go to her when I want my Free T4 and Free T3 tested. You can get meds online fairly easily. Instead of paying $310 per visit, I would suggest you wisely invest in getting your labs from canary club. $141 for all these is a great price and well worth it. LAB WORK from Canary Club, where the saliva test is for a full spectrum: thyroid (TSH, free T3, free T4), adrenals (cortisol and DHEA), estrogen, progesterone, testosterone. http://thecanaryclub.org/content/view/196/52/ SAMMIE --- " Dawn B.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Hello! I'm new to this group and I'm not sure how it works in terms of posting, answering/asking questions, supporting each other, etc. I'm 48 years old which may sound pretty old to have finally made the connection between my ongoing dysfunctions and my BPD parent, but amazingly, I never made the connection until entering therapy last week and buying the book 'surviving a borderline parent' this week. In my own defense, I never knew what BPD was. I just thought my mother was crazy, and that I had inherited a slightly less obvious version of this insanity. I was really looking for a local support group, so if anyone else is in Orlando Florida and knows of one, please let me know! ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Never miss a thing.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 , Welcome to the group! I found that 'Understanding the Borderline Mother' was a huge help to my comprehension of my BPD experiences. I highly recommend it. The catagories of the Dads didn't quite fit but the nadas were like a glimpse into my past. Kindest regards, Mercy > > Hello!
