Guest guest Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I am having itching, burning, dry, almost a puffy in places batch of symptoms. Can anyone give me any suggestions to get some relief? Maybe someone can tell me too if when they get aroused if the consistency of the produced lubricant is different than it used to be? It is something I have been wondering about. I used to have normal slippery type lubricant but now it is clear, thick, sticky, and almost rubbery like or stringy sort of. I'm sorry it's gross but I don't know who to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I wonder if it isn't histamine. Often with chronic pain we release histamine, which is typically white and sort of cheesey. It is often mistaken for yeast. This is why we are sometimes misdiagnosed with a yeast infection. It is also why some of us get relief from antihistamines.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 You should try Crisco. It protects and soothes the skin and acts as a barrier against your own discharge that mat irritate the skin. I know it sounds odd and I was skeptical at first but now it is the first thing I tey during a flare up.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I've heard of Criso but haven't tried it. I don't have any in the house or I'd be trying it. I'm thinking of buying a lubricant maybe slippery stuff to try too. I'm not sure if it's the best one to get though. I have a spot right now that is really red and it is alternating between itching and burning and it is miserable. > > From: her70cuda > Subject: symptoms? > To: VulvarDisorders > Date: Wednesday, December 10, 2008, 6:11 PM > > > > > > > I am having itching, burning, dry, almost a puffy in places batch of > symptoms.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I love Crisco. But, use the white stuff that you would fry a chicken in not the oil.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 R. - have you been checked good for infections? I know it sounds so basic, and yet sometimes docs aren't no where near as thorough as they should be with cultures and all. Some of the gals have had uncommon strains of yeast. Maybe some of them will chime in. There are a few things that can cause itching. Here goes: yeast infections, lack of hormones, tight pelvic floor muscles and cytolytic vaginosis. It's where there is actually too much good bacteria in the vaginal flora and it can definitely cause itching. You can usually see a pattern with the cycles. I hope things go well with the new doc! hang in there!ChelleSubject: symptoms?To: VulvarDisorders Date: Wednesday, December 10, 2008, 8:11 PMI am having itching, burning, dry, almost a puffy in places batch of symptoms.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 All I know is they took two cultures and told me they were negative for yeast and bacteria infection. I think they were grown for a few days. I'm not sure what exactly they tested for. I'm going to try to remember to ask when I go back because he should have my medical reconds. I feel like I'd like more testing done. > > R. - have you been checked good for infections? I know it sounds so basic, and yet sometimes docs aren't no where near as thorough as they should be with cultures and all. Some of the gals have had uncommon strains of yeast. Maybe some of them will chime in. > > There are a few things that can cause itching. Here goes: yeast infections, lack of hormones, tight pelvic floor muscles and cytolytic vaginosis. It's where there is actually too much good bacteria in the vaginal flora and it can definitely cause itching. You can usually see a pattern with the cycles. > > I hope things go well with the new doc! > > hang in there! > Chelle > > > >> > ------------------------------------ > > HOME page is http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VulvarDisorders > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I am having the same kind of symptoms at the moment, dry, burning and very slight itch but with no discharge. went and sore my doc and she thinks its possible thrush and not a flare at all, i personally have never had thrush so wasnt sure what to look for and assumed there was ment to be a discharge. Anyway just waiting on the results and keeping my fingers crossed that this is all it is. Maybe its is the same with you?? never any harm in getting it checked out.. i also had my doc prescribe me some lignocaine, tis sposed to be very good for making u nice and numb hehe (hopefully not the oposite and irritate) and gonna try candula cream as a barrier angainst anything along with upping my dose of amnitrip slightly in the hope that it takes away these nasty flares. > > I am having itching, burning, dry, almost a puffy in places batch of > symptoms.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I have had thrush in the past without a discharge. Most of the time there is one. Usually, when I have the symptoms you describe it's Bacterial Vaginosis. Do you have an odor?

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 no odor either, hmmmm i just read about it and seems we dont always get set reactions to BV either, i spose i will find out when i get my results. just a quick note that the lignocaine lasted a good while, fell asleep feeling more comfy than i have in a long time, and this morning when i woke feeling a little uncomfy but nothing major. Coincidence??? Prolly but hey at least i feel refreshed this morning and mpre confident about the day ahead. > > > > > > I am having itching, burning, dry, almost a puffy in places batch of > > > symptoms.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I still use Lidocaine from time to time, especially when I'm flaring. I've used it several times a day, but only a small amount. I hope it continues to help you. There is even a treatment of using Lidocaine on a cotton ball and sleeping with it against the vestibule. I've tried it before, but cannot use it like for more than a few nights. I'll try to locate the study - maybe it's something you could talk to your doctor about.
