Hi ,

I too am in the Atlanta area and have been trying to find someone who

can help me. My sypmoms are chronic burning and itching. I have

taken every yeast and bacterial infection medication that you can

think of. I have not had any luck so far. In your email you

mentioned you had a few names of doctors. Would you mind sending me

the names of the doctors that you have?

I would be most appreciative! Best of luck to you!

Regards,

now. I went through the (familiar to many, I am sure) horrid

experience of many wrong diagnoses and eventually just gave up and

decided to live with it.

pregnancy w/ my 14 month old (pregnancy and breastfeeding brought a

VERY welcome break) and I am feeling motivated once again. I have a

fantastic primary care giver who mentioned vulvodynia to ME -- I was

thrilled.

vaginosis, but if those don't come up with anything, she wants me to

see a specialist. I'm in the Atlanta area and have done a search to

see who was recommended -- came up with a few names, but I'd love any

other recommendations anyone has to offer.

> My pain began when I started on the birth control pill. My symptoms

are raw skin -- the top layer of my skin actually turns white and

flakes/peels off during a flare, burning, fissures in my skin. I

think there may be itching as well, but it is less of a traditional

itch I suppose -- probably because of the state the skin is in during

a flare. This flare started in the clitoral region and spread south --

I am now seeing a bit of vaginal discharge with what I believe to be

skin cells from internally as well.

(even pre-pregnancy) than they were at the start, but I am still in

an awful lot of pain.

symptoms so I have better questions to walk into the specialist's

office with..
