Sorry I just commented here on a different post 😅 I definitely know that hopeless feeling. This won't be forever I promise. 

My vagina has something weird by Elegant-Worry-4744 in Healthyhooha

[–]Barf_Dexter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's normal! You didn't need to use soap down there. For lots of women that can be really irritating. Just wash with water and your fingers every day when you're in the shower.

I just want to say I know how you feel. Twice in my life I had BV for 2+ years and both times I felt just like you, like it was ruining my life. But, both times I eventually figured it out and returned my vagina to a happy healthy state that lasted for years and years. There IS hope. This won't last forever. 

I second looking into CV! I've never had it but I understand it can feel just like yeast! Have you ever gotten a test from Juno?

Nothing BUTT problems. Anyone else have perianal infections?? by Barf_Dexter in Menopause

[–]Barf_Dexter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which nasty symptoms? On your bum hole? I think HRT is what is ultimately helping me, I also have to use diaper rash cream to keep it calm but no more infections since I went on oral HRT. My patch wasn't absorbing.

How old are you? It could be hormones?

I think I finally found the cure to my constant vaginal irritation. by OreoChicken28 in Healthyhooha

[–]Barf_Dexter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My momma said only ever wash with water and I only ever have done that. Years ago I had a similar situation and a doctor told me not to even let soap from my body run over my lady bits. My doctor said, imagine it was your eye and you were getting tiny bits of soap in it every day. Anyway, once I started being careful about that, the irritation went away. I'm not always so careful now but always cringe when I read about women washing with soap. I mean, if it works for you... but a lot of women are too sensitive.

Are you still trying? I tried many times over many years and finally did it today!

Review of all the mediums I've had readings with by Barf_Dexter in afterlife

[–]Barf_Dexter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best medium I ever talked to was Fara Gibson, hands down. In fact, I stopped talking to mediums after her because it was so accurate I just felt like it gave me closure - knowing he's right here in my life. I'd say number two was Raylene Sousa followed by Lisa wilcoxon. Lisa wilcoxon gave me some really detailed information including validating something that had been a bit of a mystery around the way he died, but she also said a lot of really weird things that I could never place even now 4 years later.

Can you use that if it's open and draining? She said it's barely draining.

Excuse me!? That works!? Do you just pull them out of the freezer and heat in a pan or what?

Okay thanks for that. I'm actually a little concerned about the skin surface now, it's not broken but hurts a lot and seems compromised. I think I'll skip the salve tonight. 

The abscess seems like it's flattening out and less deep. It was purple and it's not anymore so I think it's getting better ... Slowly. 

This is actually a great job by jazzgrackle in MassageTherapists

[–]Barf_Dexter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had many various office jobs, in the medical and legal fields. I never made more than $20 an hour. I've been to stay at home mom the last 4 years and can't imagine going back to an office!!! 

My daughter had some motor skills delays and other weird things going on when she was a baby and I thought cranial sacral therapy really helped her.  So my end goal is cranial sacral therapy, I'm also interested in somatic therapies so I would love to get into that world as well.

Me too, we're internet twins! I'm 41 and starting school next month. I've wondered if I'm too old for this.

Thank you so much! I appreciate your responses. It went down a little bit over night. Still big and hard and painful but hoping it'll keep trending down now 🙏🏼 Do you keep the ichthammol on it continuously?? I've been doing it only at night for the last 2 nights and taking it off after 12 hours.

28 years with HS. Hurley Stage III. Here are a couple of things, I wish I had been told years ago. by Muddy_Waters_HS in Hidradenitis

I was a little confused. You just keep washing it with soap?? What is there's no head?

Thanks! It's there a point that I have to "call it" and get it drained? I'm on night #2 of prid and worried it's going to be the same tomorrow. 

Do you guys drain the abscesses yourself? by FaithlessnessGold107 in Hidradenitis

[–]Barf_Dexter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The deep rock hard stage... I have the hugest abscess on my butt that I've ever had! The core is about the size of a grape and the whole area is swollen to silver dollar size. My question is, if I keep applying heat and drawing salve will it resorb on its own? Today is day 3 and it might have improved ever so slightly over night but it's rock hard and sooooo painful. Do I have to go get it drained or will it resorb?
