I live in Florida in the US & was recently diagnosed.
Are there any US members of the group that would be able to provide me with resources in my state?
Thanks,

If you've got ointment and not cream, then the doctor has done all there is for a doctor to do, other than check annually for bad cells. But LS can be a big deal or not, depending on which of several levels of severity you have.
Watch Dr. Goldstein's presentation (peferably with your husband) – it's linkeds in the top discussion here, "New to LS – Start Here". That's all you need to know. Don't go Googling scary photos – those are mostly neglected cases. You have a diagnosis and treatment.
You've found a great place to discuss the thing nobody in your life wants to hear about. Most of us agree that cutting way, way down on sugar is a huge help. Managing stress is key. If you tend to get yeast infections it's no surprise – LS and yeast go hand in hand (in a bad way). Any kind of oil is helpful. Baking soda baths and rinses are soothing and healing. Don't have friction-intensive intercourse when you're already uncomfortable – it will only make it worse.
Before menopause LS can go into remission for years. I went undiagnosed and untreated for 40 years. I had several periods when sex was not painful. I had two natural births.
Hope we can help here. Most of us freaked out after diagnosis, but the sooner you get past that, the better for your stress level. Glad you found us.
