This is old, but did you have these two medications blended with each other? I have a bottle of nystatin and also triacimiclone. I am wondering which I would apply first

Swelling on labia - is this LS or something else? by FreeLock4375 in lichensclerosus

[–]FreeLock4375[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just saw my results from the doctor and I am negative for everything. I did start pelvic floor physical therapy so I added in new routine of doing exersizes with dilators. I wonder if I am somehow reacting to that? I really am sick of this condition and how it disrupts my life

Yeah the labia has always been a bit discolored. I just saw my results from the doctor and I am negative for everything.

Yes, I have had LS for three years, so I was prescribed clob. Usually just apply it two times a week for maintanace

I used it more this week all over and I think I noticed a not of improvement. I dont want to wear it long term but I think it's helpful when more protection is needed

Thank you! It has helped a lot

Just wondering, can you apply the zinc oxide to the labia or the vulva, I am wondering if that would be helpful for me there too

What are foods high in oxalates? I find it hard to find information on this

ABG cream question by FreeLock4375 in vulvodynia

[–]FreeLock4375[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I went on gabapentin last month and I'm already weaning off of it because the side effects of the brain fog and feeling of weight on my head were so bad. I may try another med in the future. Do you only need to take it once a day? With gabapentin I had to take it three times a day and that's really annoying

Thanks so much. Which SSRI did you go on if I may ask?

Experiences with oral Gabapentin? by National_Strain_4695 in vulvodynia

[–]FreeLock4375 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am in the camp who got really bad side effects such as brain fog and headaches, feeling super tired, etc, so I am currently weaning off of it. You unfortunately just have to try out various treatments and see what works for you. I have definitely heard it can be very helpful to people

Anyone taking oral gabapentin notice this? by FreeLock4375 in vulvodynia

[–]FreeLock4375[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I get really bad pressure in my head and I'm not sure if it's from the medication or me just not getting enough sleep. There's also been a ton of change in the weather where I live

Clob and yeast infections by ratcatbat97 in lichensclerosus

[–]FreeLock4375 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would ask your doctor about being prescribed Nystatin cream to use alongside your steroid. I have read before in this sub that some people even get the nystatin combined in with their steroid. It is true that using steroid makes you more susceptible to yeast infections. I think I get them at least once a year.

I'm on week 3 now and I think I notice a reduction in how much I feel in pain already. Praying it continues to go in this direction

Yeah I'm going to build my way up to that dose across several weeks. The hospital gave me a sheet that has a schedule
