Re: Newbie, Experiencing Clitoral Pain for 4 months, Going Crazy, Feeling Hopeless

Urbnchic,

You said:

I'm so worried that this is never

going to go away and that I'll be stuck with this for the rest of my

life. :(

If you don't find out what is causing it that is likely true.

The symptoms you have--clitoral pain, bladder infections, gastroenteritis,

vaginal infections, vomiting, nausea, pain, panic

attacks, and irritation are all symptoms I had (and a lot more) before I

stopped eating gluten. They are all gone.

You may have been reading some of my posts this week. If interested read them.

Bottom line is you have a bunch of nasty symptoms that are likely autoimmune and

likely gluten and milk caused.

Google Enterolab and get tested is my advice.

Clitoral pain.....the WORST. I also do not wear any pants - only

skirts at this point. I am better than I was 3 years ago. I am on 1200mg

of neurontin.....and occasional pain killers. I use Ice packs often -

and take short warm baths in Epsom Salts ( magnesium ) I also take a

magnesium supplement. I was on Estrace Cream for quite awhile until I

developed tiny clitoral slits.....so after I stopped, they cleared up. I

always am sitting on some kind of a donut or pillow under one leg. I

have been 2 two " Vulvar specialists " who could give me no clear

diagnosis except " Clitordynia " . Scarey word. So.....do all the

things you need to find your own road to recovery. Try not to sit

!!!!! You can do it....you will feel better.
