i have been on this site for a while but thought i would bring you up to date with things .

i have had 4 treatments now and gyno is very happy with results the colour is back and inching is not happening thats great . still not able to have intercoarse but he says i have developed  vaginamintis from fear of pain so i will see him again on thursday this week to get more advise and may another treatment . so far i have not paid any more since my first visit and that was $2000 plus bulk bill to medicare for consult. he is so good . i think i will ask him cost of op to help openig of vagina. he gave me sone treatment to my anal area last time as this is my only problem with LS now . dont get me wrong the mona lisa wont get rid of LS permantly it just gives you relief from the symptoms long term. but it looks like it did before i got it 15yrs agobiggrin

      ok good luck remember to you will still have some itch after and it will feel like sunburn once anathestic wears off and you can use your steroide cream to help with itch .it will take a couple of days at most to settle.biggrin

    I have now finished my second treatment. My post treatment itching lasts a couple weeks. I use the steroid a little and take about 1/4 Benadryl to help with sleep. It does seem improved. I have my last treatment in early January Good luck Christine.

    Christine, so after four treatments and $2000 the only benefit is no itching?  I'm not sure I would be happy with just that, but then I have never had serious itching.  When you say you are unable to have intercourse is that because it is still painful even after the treatment?  I was thinking of having this treatment at some point and so I was hoping to hear that you can have intercourse, because that would be the only reason for me going ahead with the treatment.  I suppose it is possible that everyone reacts differently to the treatment, and it is still early days with it.  But I am glad you are happier, as I said I have never had the constant itching, but I know it can be horrific for some women.

    Hi Christine,

    I have my 4th treatement next week and I agree that the symptons (itching and burning ) are much reduced.   I am still doing baking soda with epsom salt baths at once a week and massaging in a little clob sometimes following.

    I read somewhere about a formula for coconut oil with a little frankincense and lavendar.  I did not write it down and I would like to try that to see if it does not help the new tissue to keep healthy.   Please anyone who remembers how to use this mixture.
