Poor you but well done for trying. Borax soak and emuaid? Or something more mild like coconut oil?

Yes am sure it will ease. So depressing though that sex can be ruined by LS. Spontaneity goes and I find I tense up worrying that it will hurt even before we start.

i have to commend you for having sex. my husband doesn't remember what that is now !
IF YOU CAN STICK THE PAIN OUT FOR 5-10 MINUTES THEN KEEP ON WITH YOUR CREAMS.
sorry this capital thing bugs the heck out of me ! I am one of the folks who has no relief from the LS.
i am constantly trying to stop myself from scratching , even past the bleeding. i try to avoid the lotions and potions until i can stand it no longer. then i give in and the burn is agony.
if i keep up with the creams it dies down for a day or two so it is bearable.
in two days if you keep up with the creams you will notice a difference..enjoy your holiday x

Bless you pamela! I do agree i try not to use too much oils and potions sometimes. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. Im waiting to hear back from my gyne anyway as im finding the steroid i initially used(form of betnovate 0.1%) on an area which did work isnt working on a different area thats sore. thanks PAMELA i hope so!

there are a few different types of creams etc. my body adapts very quickly so i have to rotate my creams about every two to four weeks. my gynaecologist is one of the brilliant chaps. no idea what i will do when he retires !! He never makes me feel that i am a pain. he goes above and beyond trying to ease this for me.
i think this is a bit of a joke to some gps. i was told i had " senile vagina " . now i have had this for about 10yrs now. i am only 52. i feel so heart sore for any elderly person dealing with this. good luck x

Epson salt baths twice a day. Use lots of salt about one cup.
I dump the salt exactly where I am going to sit on it. Don’t swirl it around in the tub. Sit on it. Sounds stupid but it really helps.
Stay in the tub a good 10 minutes.
Good luck.
