Per mirror, my vulvar LS is spreading.

Looks silvery/white. Inner labia on the left side and over the clitoris. Same as last viewing (a month ago) but longer. Drat.

I thought I was getting better as I don't have the buzzing feeling anymore and I never had the itching.

I did Clob for 3 weeks every day, then I switched to olive oil for a few weeks, which didn't seem to have done much, went back on the Clob 3 x a week 2 weeks ago.

I don't wear undies anymore but I do wear fairly loose pants and even with them, that darn inner crotch seam is painful when I'm sitting down.

My next appointment at the urogyne is 7/5 I'd really like to reverse this situation before then as she wants to do a biopsy and I just don't want one - esp at my age of 75.

Can't we just monitor it, and assume its LS and try to control it??

Thanks for any advice.

    Hi Ro,

    I have been taking AlgaeCal, a natural product from algae with K2 (menaquinone), D3 and mag and boron. You need strontium, too but cannot take strontium with calcium and boron because they will compete for absorption. Wondering if liquor helps.....
