Vulva pain, itching, burning for 14 months vulvodinya

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi guys!

first please excuse my spelling, 14 months ago i had swelling and pain after taking antibiotics for ureaplasma something i have found the uk dont even recognise as an infection.

I got severe thrush that caused cuts i had swabs negative herpes and blood teat up to 36 weeks i convinced myself i had herpes and called off my wedding!

since that day i have prickly itch around my clitoris pain in my clitoris and some times my vagina goes numb even if i touch it i feel nothing! i have been diagnosed with vulvodinya and given gabapentin 300 mg a day but now i am pregnant i had sex once in 14 months i could cry im so scared ill be in pain and wont be abke to care for my baby and on top of all this my vulvadinya now presents as uti pain aswell.

i think i just need someone to tell me i will get better ive lost 3 stone i feel ugly i have panick attacks everytime i leave my house fear of this pain and im far from my home.

any advice would be helpful

here are some things i have done that helped me:

water fasted for 14 days - did not help

alkaline diet - did not help

lidocaine on wet gauze every night - did not work

stopped taking vit c - helped

take vit d, calcium citrate, magniusuim - helped

gabapentin 300 mg - helped! but only itching and burning.

currently on low oxalate diet too soon to tell

st johns wort helped me alot for stress and help relax my groin area

dialators - never again sooo painful

accupuncture made me relax
