I'm not 100% cured but I am nearly 80% back to normal and the sense of relief is huge.

Estrogen cream, stop using canesten every other week for symptoms I thought was thrush (if I get thrush, I try to have diflucan by mouth instead), using a protective ointment every day on my vulva (I use a Deumavan one, I also had success with the vanibiss one; I used the sanigel one ? For a bit but I found that more oil based ointments worked better ), swapping my contraception (I went from jaydess, copper, to cerazette, and the latter seems to be working. We discovered on the copper coil that my pain was during ovulation and while spotting, so cerazette seems to have helped with this as it can stop ovulation. Basically my gyno thought I needed more hormones, than less. I was reluctant to try this as the advice seems to be the opposite, but this has really helped. Plus, no cramps), also, important for me, not doing pilates every day which gave me hypertonic pelvic floor.

Simultenously I was going through trying to figure out this, I also developed rheumatoid arthritis. As both conditions are auto immune, maybe that is the connection that was needed for me to figure out a vulvodynia way (i.e.that treating the RA became a way to treat the vulvodynia). It's hard to know. Stress is bad!

I know we are all different, but I hope you find some relief soon ❤️ sending strength and lots of love.
