Great treatment for LS

I highly recommend that anyone with LS try what's called The Mona Lisa. It's a lazor treatment that helps your skin produce new healthy skin cells.

It has changed my life. It's a bit painful but nothing compared to a bad day with LS. My female doctor offered it in his office.

    Hi Tracy,

    So glad to hear of your encouraging results. Were you treated by a private doctor for this?

    Hi Tracey.  Was this in the UK?  I have my first attack at the moment having already had LP on my tongue.  Misery with LS for months before a diagnosis and had to pay for that.  Am half way through a course of steroids but the only thing that soothes is Vagasil.  Does anyone know of any other creams over the counter that help.  GP cream was no good.  Wilma

    I AGREE!

    tracy15495, I agree with you. I have completed my treatment (4 months post treatment) and it has improved my 'parts' immensely! The tissue is more plump and youthful. The tears and itching are gone. The moisture production is back to normal. I do sometimes have some discomfort after being intimate with my husband, but nothing compared to what I was experiencing. I think it may be due to waiting so long to find this treatment. Perhaps the tissue had shrunk? Overall, I have to say I am a believer!

    I just wish that insurance companies would recognize this as a valid treatment and cover it. I had to pay out of pocket and it was quite expensive. My company has a flexible spending account option, where you can put pre-tax dollars aside for medical treatments and deductibles. I was able to utilize that to pay for it.

    I had the procedure done in my gynocologist office as an outpatient. There were three treatments four weeks apart. I think the last one was the most uncomfortable, the reason for this I believe, is because the tissue is returning to normal and there is more feeling coming back.

    All in all, I definitely recommend the procedure. It has given me my life back!

      I am assuming you are in the states Tabby.  Have just had a look on line and (as usual) it is not recommended in the UK.  Does anyone know of an over the counter cream that would help, nothing I have tried seems to make much difference.  And how I agree with you about the tears, I feel that I have been taken over by an alien.

      Yes I am in Florida. I unfortunately don't know of anything over the counter. I do use baby body wash and toilet paper for sensitive skin. I also realized that if I use any antihistamine or any drug that is for drying you out makes the outbreak worse. I have used Unjelly to help with the rubbing. I'm not sure why they don't recommend it in the UK. All I can say it that I have not had any side effects and I feel like a normal person again. Because I had such horrible scaring I have had 5 treatments and all is well again for the first time in many years. I actually look forward to Sex again. 😀

      Wilma, please look up "an experiment with Borax" on this site! It has completely abated all my symptoms. There is also a lot on the web if you look up medical uses for Borax! Good luck!

      Hi Joanna I have just looked it up and am going to try it.  Did you use it as a drink?  I have just read a comment from a man (another website) who also recommended a bath in baking powder.  I don't think anyone understands apart from us sufferers just how painful it is.  If only someone could find a cure as it looks like we are stuck with it for life.

      I have tried everywhere I can think of to get some Borax and all I can find is degergent which is a bit drastic.  Have you any idea where I can get it from?

      Hi Wilma, Borax is sold in the US in the laundry Dept! In the UK you have to order from Amazon and make sure it is NOT boric acid!!!!! If you look up Borax you will see it is a naturally occumineral, should help with your concerns! I also do drink it but for others reasons then LS.
