Questions about Upcoming Visit to Dr. Goldstein...

[Guest guest]

I'm new to the group and am viewing all the posts out here...after

countless visits to the OBGYNS and being misdiagnosed, my doctor

consulted w/Dr. Goldstein who says I have a pseudocyst of the clitoris

and phimosis of the clitoral hood (whatever that is)..so i am seeing

Goldstein next week...would anyone care to share the bad things that

they have heard about Goldstein?? Many Thanks..

> HI all,

> I've been lurking for a while and never have time to read all the

emails, but just wanted to let you all know that I've been cutting out

wheat (among other things) the past few months and the pain during sex

has gone down to a 1 - 2 instead of a 4 - 7 like it used to be. And

then last night I ate some nan, which is an indian flatbread (oh it

was so good) and this morning it felt like an indian sunburn in my

vagina with my husband. (about a 5 pain) Like the skin doesn't want

to stretch. And so I am wondering if there is a connection. I used to

think it was hormones, and I'll get my numbers back for that pretty

soon, but it wasn't painful last night (before the nan) at all - like

a 0.5 - and this is day 6 of my cycle. Then again I did have half a

glass of wine. So thanks Arline for the heads up!

> Another thing, I just have to vent, I went to the gyn and

mentioned the pain and she completely had no idea what to do or say

about it, just ignored it. But she is very helpful with the

infertility stuff so that's the direction I'm taking right now. I live

in DC but don't want to go to Goldstein, heard some bad things

about him. I'm not going to spend a lot of money on this as the pain

is only during sex and not so bad I can't deal with it. I just wish I

could find a doctor who would validate my complaints, diagnose me with

something (I don't care what, just make it known that I am not crazy

or a hypochondriac!) and even help me would be a plus. I've got the V

book and am still reading it, but it's crazy that the V book is my

doctor. Thanks . Money is the big issue with me, I

can't even afford the $100 gluten test. *sigh* sorry just had to vent.

It's all so complex, to think that gluten could affect your vagina,

and maybe even that digestive issues

> are connected to bladder and vulvar issues is amazing. And the

hormones, with estrogen and testosterone all being part of the

picture. All the doctors just focus on their one little field and

don't look at the big picture. Plus they give medicines to try to fix

the symptom rather than get to the root of the problem, which is

harder and takes longer.

> Ok ladies (and men if you are there), take care, and thanks for

reading if you got this far. Sorry so long.
