    Hi, Yes I am trying it now but haven't been with it long enough to see if it is effective and right now I'm in a bad cycle so had to resort to Clobestol. I got the cannabis and cococut oil mixture and tincture and another to put a drop or two on my tongue. Are you trying it?

      I'm not trying it ... yet ... but live in TX where it's not legal yet to take medical marijuana. Will be interested to hear if it works for you.

      Hi Susan,

      I'm not trying it now, but wouldn't be opposed. I keep hearing about all of the conditions cannabis treats so I googled and found some results that look like people have had luck using it in LS. Let us know how it goes with your experiment!

    i too share Ls UGH! Have too been thinking of trying Cannabis but I was thinking you could get pills or if you use the oil you would use it down there in the uteris.. Anyone have any knowledge as to how to use it? I see my GYN in a couple of weeks and I intend to ask her. Will keep you posted.

    I've tried taking it internally. It doesn't do anything for me. My mom uses it to help her sleep and says it works, but again, it didn't do anything for me in any respect. I've never tried applying the CBD oil directly to my skin. Honestly, I think it works like a placebo -- if you believe it works, you'll see it "working." The only medical studies I've found showing improvement for any medical condition say that you have to take huge amounts of CBD, much more than what is recommended on most packages sold in the United States.

    I did try it two years ago when I battled the achy vulva and clitoris, tears and the white spots. Hemp oil I bought from Whole Foods worked well. CBD oils differ in terms of quality and properties, so if anyone is happy with a strain, please share the name! The CBD oil I used did not cure, but did soothe for a while. However, so did manuka honey. I admit, I did hope for a profound effect. Who knows what LS is in fact! So far, I believe it is an autoimmune disorder that gets affected by hormones, fungus and oxalates, so any work on the immune system, including hemp and CBD, is good for us.

    Hi Butterfly, Google this: "Cannabis cream helps boy recover." This is what convinced me to try cannabis down under. But right now I'm in a terrible flare and using the Clob. Ugh. I have Cannabis/coconut oil cream, tincture and smokes. I"m going to try it all.

      Wow Jacqueline. What exactly is acv? what results? no scarring, itching? Using CBD oil, is that ingesting it, under the tongue? does it have THC in it?

      So happy for you.

      Hi, its so nice to read that you are having fantastic results. What do you mean when you say 250mg? I have only ever seen it as g/mL when taken internally. Do you apply topically or take it internally? also, what is your concentration for borax soaks?

      That's great news! I have been soaking in Borax 2 x a week and it is working very well. In fact, I haven't been on this site for a long time because I'm not having any issues!

      ACV is Apple Cider Vinegar but makes sure it has the Mother.

      How are you doing these days?

      How exactly does the borax soak work? ( How much, for how long, and How much, for how long, and what amount of water?)

      ALSO- how do you apply the ACV?
