Fibromyalgia and Vaginal Lichen Sclerosis

I know it sounds like an odd combination but I was just wondering if anyone that has had fibro and gets vaginal pain or has been diagnosed with LS. I mean, it is auto immune. Mine has been pretty good. It took like 3 physicians to figure it out. I am post menopausal since total hysterectomy in my 30's. I have not had intercourse in 5 years as it has become too painful to endure. The incredible shrinking vagina lol. Sorry but at this point if I did not laugh I would not survive.

I have always been the kind of gal that looks down there and if I did not I probably would not know that something was up. I see darkening on the minor labia lips and that is normal but the doctor does not tell you that so I research. I get red inflamed areas from God knows what, acidity in the body? I backed off sugar, so maybe stress is the culprit. Good thing I did look today, I had a tiny tiny tick embedded next to my outer vagina...lol, is nothing sacred! Tweezed him right on out.

Blessings of good health to all,

Kat

    Hello I am not sure what Vaginal Lichen Sclerosis is.... I have painful intercourse and some other vaginal issues, but have not been diagnosed with that. Just got diagnosed with fibromyalgia December of last year. I am 25.
