Hi lovelies, just after advice really I have lichen sclerosis of the vulva , my mom dad and auntie have psoriasis which I believe is auto immune my brother has poliosis (grey patches on head)grey circle patches of hair on head. My granny had alopecia. Anyway just wondering if any of you think that because my family have some autoimmune conditiond that it could possibly be linked to LS? I know it's different but still autoimmune, would love to see what you guys think?

Do you find that things “ tingle” or get itchy if you eat something you shouldn't? I am on a low oxalate ( due to kidney stones and LS diagnosis) diet, no sugar, no wheat, low carbs. I still eat Dairy, eggs and drink coffee. I haven’t had chocolate in 10 wedks😢😢 but am determined to keep living my life. I let LS consume me for the first 5 weeks, now I’m taking charge!

Hi Tracey, my diet doesn't seem to affect me really. I don't take sugar, very little or no wheat and just drink plain water all day long due to recurring UTI's. I have only started suffering with anxiety since the LS. Excema runs in our family and my mother had Lichen Planus so theres definetly a family connection

Oh, yes forgot to say, I have IBS and I do now take a cranberry pill morning and night as well which seems to work along with gallons of water. The water helps keep the bugs from sticking to walls of bladder. God, men don't know their born ha ha

I developed psoraisis or eczema shortly after birth; doctors couldn't decide which. I am 74, when I was 30 a british dr. working in Canada came out with research about GLA and essential fatty acids. The product developed is still on the market. I started taking an emulsified form and I believe to this day this is what cured the psoraisis. However, about 7 years ago I was diagnosed with LS and GA (granuloma annulare). In my late 20's a dr. who believed in massive doses of vitamins, supplements, etc. had my blood sent to some US lab and the diagnosis was collagen disease of the dermal type, a diagnosis to cover a multitude of issues. My paternal grandfather had skin rashes on which he put zinc ointment; my niece has psoraisis/eczema, a cousin lupus. Hopefully someone amongst us can connect the dots.

In my family everyone except myself has several forms of arthritis and Lupus & Graves disease. I had tendency toward skin rashes like poison ivy, hives, shingles, supposedly herpes but it's now thought it was the LS. My worse flare that sent me back to my doctor occurred after extreme stress of family members who died, all in a short period of time. I cried everyday for over 2 years and then this hit. I think that stress kicked me into full blown flares LS, that deterioration happened all at once.
