ok ladies, this is what is happening to me at this time, i started itchin last nite and i did a epson salt with coconut oil bath and then put on emuaid max for the nite. got up with no itching but super nervous to see the Gyn, this is another one , cause i wanted a second opinion , i told her i was not using the Clob the other Dr. prescribed since i wanted to see another Dr. she looked and checked me and said i was better then the last time and to use Clob, ONLY when i had itching ,and then to stop, to use vaginal cream like Replense and Estriodal once a week or twice a week, and to lubricate with Crisco or with Coconut oil. i told her i was watching what i eat . no sugars and Gluten and she SAID THAT DIETS DIDNT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH LS!!!! to eat what i wanted...I really dont believe that cause i have been doing without sugar and gluten and i am so doing better, i put on EUMAID MAX AND ALSO THE ALOE/TURMERIC OIL AND NOW I WILL ALSO USE OLIVIE OIL IN BETWEEN AND I FEEL ALOT BETTER.. I HAVE BEEN SOAKIN IN THE EPSON/COCONUT FOR ABOUT 20 MIN EVERY OTHER NITE.. THIS IS MY REPORT FOR YOU ALL AND I AM FEELING ALOT BETTER AFTER ALMOST HAVIN A HEART ATTACK ON ALL THIS MESS..    JANIE

    HI Janie.  Wow, you are using a lot of stuff.  How do you juggle all of that? Do you use Emuaid at the same time you use aloe/tumeric.  I have all of this but never sure which one I should be using.  I was doing okay with both separately, then just all of a sudden my down under is a mess.

      Oh Janie, so sorry about your flareup.  I feel like I have a flesh eating disease.  Well, actually I think it is. I've been doing the baking soda and water soak and I think it is good.  I'll continue that.  Trying not to look own there every day.  Crazy, right?

      Hi Janie , Do you just use baking soda baths or do you use borax as well ? I’m only using clob and epiderm emollient at the moment as newly diagnosed . Will the bath soaks help get rid of white patches ?

      Hi Janie,  So glad you are feeling better.  I don't have any pain or itch, but looking really really bad down under.  It looks like I've been put through a meat grinder.  White patches, discoloration, bruisy looking and parts missing, fusing, etc.  I'm soaking a wash cloth with cold water and baking soda then applying one of my concoctions.  I see no improvement yet but I think patience is needed.  At least I am not itching.
