Doctor experiences

I actually diagnosed myself. When the severe itchy clit started happening (a couple years after my hystorectomy and I was no longer doing hormone therapy) the only thing that gave me even the remotest bit of relief from the itching was a hot bath. But that would only stop the itching for a few hours. Eventually when I realized this wasn't going away the next thing I did  (like I often do with manyof my  medical questions) was hop online and do a bunch of research. It actually didn't take too long to figure out what I had. Once I did figure it out  I went to a walk in clinic (my doctor had retired and it is very difficult to get another one... waiting lists can be months or years long where I am) and I told them what I had. The doctor I saw that day was female and she agreed with my diagnosis and prescribed Taro-Clobetasol at 0.05% which is a topical corticosteroid cream. Within a minute of using it the itching stopped. She warned me not to use much and to use it as little as possible. So now I only use it for flare ups. When I need more I just go to the walk in clinic and ask for it. It's usually a male doctor and they don't ask much or say much. They just write the prescription. Even the female doctor I had didn't tell me much of anything about it. I had no idea about the fusion even being a possibility until I lost my clit (and incidentally the itchy clit stopped itching after it fused, now I only deal with the tearing, grey patches, painful sex, etc, etc). ....I should clarify, I didn't lose my clit, lol! It's still there, it's just that the hood has closed over it.

    I don't know of anyone else that has LS and up until I got it I didn't even know it existed. So I have no idea how well the doctors here know about this condition.
