Always thought it was a condition associated with menopausal women

I always thought that LS was more associated with older women because of the lack of hormones and natural lubrication , but after reading other comments on this forum I realise it can occur at any age. I am 69 and seem to be able to keep the symptoms under control, I'm well past the menopause , I wonder if age has anything to do with how severely you suffer, certainly seems to me that you younger ladies seem to suffer terribly, my heart goes out to you all . Just been prescribed Vagifem pesseries for sexual problems so time will tell if more hormones make the condition worse

I'll add that I had another problem, namely gut issues which have been alleviated through diet. Both my daughters-in-law had similar issues but theirs were much more severe, involving pain and in one case, long-term loss of energy. Now they both run marathons after changing their diets and focusing on exercise.
So my theory - my homeopathic GP doctor's theory - around all this is that people are developing problems earlier because of the pesticide-laden non-organic overprocessed foods out there now (we are what we eat!) and also because of the stresses of society now. These are issues that need to be addressed by society, but right now it's up to the individual since mainstream doctors are slow to catch up.

I have been eating healthily for quite some time, in fact, I am Gluten and Dairy free. I live in Costa Rica, often referred to as Paradise!! For quite some time I would go down to the local market on a Sunday and buy my vegetables, never really thinking too hard about where they came from, or whether or not they were organic, I guess for some reason I just presumed that in such a little country that promotes "Pura Vida" that they wouldn't be spraying their crops excessively, but I was wrong!! through research I found out that Costa Rica is right up there as being a country that uses more pesticides than most other countries, even CHINA!!! and so I started buying Organic, but it was too late for me, the delicious figs I had been eating every day had given me a horrendous rash on my face, (Hives) which was what prompted me to realise something was very wrong. All this happened a few months ago and I now have a serious problem with sulfites, (sulfites are preservatives) and in nearly everything!!
My life has changed, and not for the better, I can hardly eat anything, my choices are very limited, I cannot even think about having a meal in a restaurant, it's terrible, and it was all triggered from eating the dried fruit from the local market!! Sulfites are known to be in wine, dried fruit, and many many other foods, and so if you are able to always buy organic!!
