Thanks for the message. I had wondered about the symptoms. To answer

your question about bacterial vaginosis (bv), the symptoms of it

generally are a thin, white or grayish discharge. Much like the

consistency of skimmed milk. It usually has a fishy oder, sometimes a

very strong one. At it's worst, I only had a mild one. Less severe

cases can smell like ammonia. There can also be some itching and/or

mild burning. Keep in mind though, in half the cases women have little

or no symptoms and it is discovered while being checked for something

else. Hopes this helps. Norm

Thanks for replying – I have never had a yeast infection,

and was wondering if I was overlooking a symptom of something that was causing

the irritation. I have never had any type of discharge and it appears that this

is the major symptom of a yeast infection or vaginosis. I have been tested for

yeast infections, but they never have found anything. I am positive my pain is

caused by over active nerve endings. The only treatment that seems to help the

pain is Clobetasol. I use to just use it every once in a while, but it seems to

work better if I keep it on a regular schedule of three times a week and use

the Lidocaine and Estrace every night when I go to bed. I also had trigger

point injections all around the perineum and vagina a month ago and I am having

more done in two weeks. These injections helped the most out of everything I

have tried. Hopefully if I keep this up the pain may just get tired and quit –

we can always hope.
