Hi Cary,

Thanks again , I have been doing exactly everything you suggested with having some relief, I live in Torronto Ontario , I haven't been intimate with mu husband for 3 1/2 months because of the burning and itching I have been having and when I tried to be Intimate 3 times only since it happened back in December it only made it worse , the burning and Itching was so unbearable , but while being Intimate it didn't hurt , it was only after 15 -20 minutes later . But, now its been over 3 1/2 months ago since we tried ,my Doctor suggested we try again , so just the past week we tried again on several ocassions , this time it just hurted when we were being intimate while we were doing it unlike before , and after it just got sore and red , I am not sure if its because we haven't been intimate for awhile thats why it hurts and gets sore after, but the intense burning had subsided , still have a bit itching on ocassions, and still irritation still on external of my vulvo area. I have been using a different Lubricate suggested by a pharamist because the KY Gel stings when applying , but on one ocacssion the new Lubricate did the same.So I think I am still sensative on my Libia area and surrounding Vulvo area . Thats why I questioned if its Vulvodynia , because everything else of all test results were normal. My family Doctor said Vulvodynia theres no known diagnous for that because its stress related problem?? I have been on Gabepentin for almost 2 weeks, Clonazopam for awhile , the Gapepantin is for blocking the nerve fibers , its also perscribed for Vulvodynia , and any Nerve damage , the cLonazopam is for aniexty and panic attacks, I take both at night before bed . I am really praying that its just healing itself and that I don't have to depend on medication to heal me , during the daytime now I am feeling much better, sometimes I have to take Tynol extra strength if I feel soreness coming on or any sysmptons.Ass far as the sugar I have elimated that , well all the junk foods , Chocalates deserts etc... I never craved them before until about 4 years ago , I think thats about the time I was starting the change of life, peri-menopause. Right now I am concerned about the pain I endure (still somewhat bearable) while being Intimate , I usually wait until bed time so that I can take my meds a hour before so that it helps with the pain . The pain its not related to not being Lubricated because we have that covered ..., I am hoping its just because we were not sexually activate for such a long time as my husband states. My Family Doctor is a male , I don't think they understand what women endure .Thank you for your contiuing support . I feel like I finally have a support group I can talk too . Thanks again .

Sincerely
Laura
P.S. I tried sending a message prior to this one but I don't think it sent , if it did sorry its because I couldn't see my previous message being sent out. Thanks again
