topical/Capsacin/Peri-cream/nne

[Guest guest]

nne and others,

I have very little pain at this point, but I can narrow it down to two kinds.

Deepmuscle/connective tissue pain, and just a little infrequent irritation at

the

spot where I had a biopsy in the vulvar area, where I formerly had a small patch

of

dermatitis. I think amitriptyline and PT help the deep pain (and self massage

and

shiatsu/accupuncture) but I am wondering if the more topical treatment would

help that

little place. I have read about the Capsacin (often used by patients of

kellog spade?)

and I would really like to know what the theory is about its use. I'm guessing

this is for

the visible, touchable tissue pain, numbing the over-active nerves in the

" skin " ??

Question: Then I read your post, nne, and I am wondering what the mechanism

is for

the peri-cream. What does it do? is it supposed to have long term effectiveness

if you use

it over time, or is it short term relief and works only when it is on the spot?

Another Question: Does anyone out there see and would you be able to ask

her

what the Capsascin is doing or affecting?

If you reply, please include my best e-mail address juliezim@....

My address at yahoo is for this kind of public site, and it gets filled with

unbelievable spam

so I don't check there a lot.

Thanks!!!

Ps nne, glad you are sounding positive and hopefully making progress. I

have

thought about you and even worried about you, and hope you are better all the

way
