My name is Becky and I am new to the group. I was diagnosed with IgaN in March. Hi Becky, A very warm welcome to the group! I am sorry you have a reason to find your way here but I do hope you can find much support and information on our two sister sites. If you have not already checked out our sister site at _www.igan.ca_ (http://www.igan.ca) , that would be a great starting place. The emotions can feel overwhelming at first. My only advice there is to be patient with yourself and give yourself time to work through all the stages until you get to acceptance. It does take time but honestly, it all becomes second nature after a while. In the meantime, we are here to support you each step of the way.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Dear ladies, thanks so much for this sight. I've done some looking around and this is the best by far. I need help and just to vent. I've had my share of both vulvar and vaginal problems lately. Started out as severe vulvar pain-felt like the nerve endings were fried. With that came bacterial vaginosis, which is treated with antibiotics- Flagyl And metrogel, which in turn caused yeast infections. The last had to be caused by a strain of resistent yeast because it wouldn't respond to monistat or Diflucan. Boric acid did work well. My dr. told me I had Lichen Sclerosis as well, though the symtoms wasn't much as described, especially in appearance. To try and make a long story short this has been a nightmare. I was prescribed a strong steroid cream and Estrace as well as tablets. What with the creams the pain has gone. That's why I'm wondering if it's possible to have a mild case of LS, one that caused pain and itching but doesn't change the appearance. I still have minor irritation and itching. It itches down the inside of my thighs and way up front where the hair is but there's nothing to see. Oh, Ladies, I just want to feel normal againand it seems so close but not quite. I'm thankful to having improved so much but at this point any of it is too much. I was told low hormones was the culprit. I'm 50.
