New Member, so good to no longer feel alone.

[Guest guest]

hi all, im dom im 27 and have suffered from vulvodynia for around 3.5

years. I was diagnosed around 2 years ago and began taking

amnitryptaline 20mg a night and have done very well since, i still

have flare ups which seem to last up to a few weeks at a time and am

now looking for anything that will help me with those times like

creams or gels am also looking at trying a low oxolate diet, any info

on any of these would be greatly appreciated.

i have come to the decision that unless we find wat info we can and go

to our doctors well prepared we will never move forward, so i have a

long list of creams gels and things i want to be tested for in the

hope that they will agree with me, i do have a lovely doctor whom does

try to help so heres hoping. i have my app in a couple of day so

with any luck early next week i will be trying the fist one on my list.

i am so glad to find forums such as this one, i had no idea that there

were so many ppl like myself and am sure you all know how

undescribably good it makes us feel to not be alone with this..

i consider myself very lucky as i have a wonderful husband whom may

not understand this disease but would never push me into anything and

is always willing to be there when i ned him the most. i was also

blessed with 2 wonderful children (a boy 8yrs and a girl 5yrs) before

i had my first signs of vulvodynia.

srry to go on lol i have a habbit of rambling about this, but i fully

believe if we work together we can all come through this in the end.
