Hi, I am a 27 year old woman who has been dealing with intense vulval itching, inflammation and burning for just over a year now. It started 2 months after I came off The Pill. I have seen multiple specialists, I have even gone through the trauma of having 2 biopsies, which showed only non-specific inflammation. I have tried every steroid cream on the market (which does nothing but make me worse!) as well as various antibiotics, Antihistamines, creams ect. I went back on the pill for a while but it didn't fix the problem. I even took Prednisone 25mg for 3 days and that did nothing! I Have had various swabs and blood tests and even a spinal fluid test which showed nothing. I also had a pelvic ultrasound which showed nothing. I have been tested for auto-immune diseases ect.
Accompanying this inflamed rash, I experience extreme nausea every single day, from the moment I wake up. I vomit uncontrollably to the point of dry-reaching. I have acne around my chin (I have never had acne in my life!), and I havn't had a period in 3 months. Since my periods have stopped the itching and burning has gotten so much worse! I get terrible period-pain like cramping. My hair is falling out (thank god for Liquid Silica). I am always extremely fatigued and often have "dizzy spells".
I have had basic hormone blood tests done and the doctors say my hormones are "good" and just dismiss me. But to me it sounds like it is definitely hormonal! I have read that a run-of-the-mill basic blood test will not show hormone imbalance.?
All the dopey doctors want to do is send me to councilling! Councilling!!! What a freaking joke! The only reason I need councilling is because these stupid doctors do not listen and do not care! They put me on antidepressants saying the cause of things was stress but I've been on antidepressants for 2 months now and nothing has improved!
This thing is ruining my life. I can't have sex, I can't exercise, I can't go out (I get so sick I have previously vomited in public...oh the shame!) I am finally seeing a proper Gyno after only previously seeing Gyno-Oncologists and Vulval Dermatologists. I am praying he can help me. Noone should ever have to go through this. I just want to be a normal healthy young woman again.
I feel for all of you. ANY advice on this matter would be very very much appreciated.
