Hi Everyone,

A recent trip to the Gyn for what i thought was a YI or BV, my doctor suspected LS and did a punch biopsy, but the result did not confirm it conclusively. I had to ask what the next steps were and next thing you know, I have an Rx for Clobestal! Wow, so helpful! My question is how supportive are your partners? My husband seems ok, but I know he's frustrated. But no where near as frustrated as I am! Thanks for listening!

    Great question. My husband and I were having issues around sex and it wasn't until I got the diagnosis that I realised the long term impact LS has on my sex life. Interestingly it wasn't until our relationship was over that I realised he took little or no interest in the condition ... ouch! that hurt. I now have a new partner and he is amazing, very attentive, understanding and very unimposing ... quite the contrast!
