Hey!! I have a question
Posted , 5 users are following.
So I've suspected I've had LS for a few months now but I just got my biopsy done today. My gyn didn't know what it was she told me she thought it could be vertigo... So my question is: are they going to test for everything or are they going to test just what my doctor suspects it could be? I'm getting a little nervous because it's starting to get worse and I don't want everything to be all messed up I'm only 18 and I'm worried it'll mess everything up in my future

I'm going to recommend my supplementary oil because my sister used it on her psoriasis-flared face last night and just wrote: " I used it the second I saw it, then after my shower and this morning. A huge improvement."
We had a young man (Liam) on here who used it on his LS and it really helped, so I started using it six months ago. I bought jojoba oil and pure frankincense essential oil and a 25 ml dropper bottle. (Total cost $60). I fill the dropper bottle almost full of jojoba oil and then and three or four drops of frankincense oil to the bottle. You can use it as much as you want. I bet it will help the biopsy heal quicker. Never use frankincense oil (or any essential oil) straight on your skin.

I live in the uk and have to use the NHS as LS is not coved by health insurance over here. Once they diagnosed LS that was it! No advice, and no sympathy! The forum has been my godsend.

You'll find doctors' ignorance a common thread on here. I went to my doctor over and over again and in the end was told I was being a hypochondriac. I knew i was moving so waited a year till I had a new Doctor who diagnosed it at once, but then I had to argue with her to get to the specialist clinic (vulval dermatology) because she wanted to treat me herself and even though she'd recognised it, I didn't have confidence in her. I got to the clinic, I've been twice, they say it's the most common complaint they see. I have to say they haven't been particularly helpful, not nearly as informative as this forum! and I'm sure I'm due another appointment which hasn't arrived yet, I hope they're not dismissing me, it's good to be kept an eye on. I found a good doctor in my practice but she's just leaving, so don't know what I'll do now.
Stay on this forum, it's brilliant and you don't feel so alone. I'm in the UK by the way.
I did have a period of marching into every pharmacist I passed and telling them about LS. I thought that the first point of call for anyone with itching or painful sex would be the pharmacy. I got brushed off a lot 'Oh yes we know all about it...' sort of thing. I did get through to a few of them, mostly young women who were shocked and said they'd look it up. If it stops even one woman going undiagnosed it'll be worth it.
Best wishes Brianna, you're not alone on here.
