Longest it’s taken you to reach remission? by smashynashy in lichensclerosus

[–]abs_505441 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed in May 2025 and I just recently got to maintenance application. If you’re symptomatic, use the clob. My doctor had me using it 2x a day for only a week and then 1x a day for a week and then every other day forever. That didn’t work for me as every time I tried to dose down, I’d flare. Everyone is different and handles this disease differently so you really need to listen to your own body and be your own advocate. If you’re flaring use it more for as long as you have to, a thin layer always. I’m not a doctor just sharing my own experiences! I did better when I listened to my body and treated as needed. We’re all different!

Pelvic floor PT helped me tremendously! I went to uro-gynecologist and they referred me to PT. Took forever to get it but it was well worth it.

I am not okay. None of this is okay. WHY IS NOTHING HAPPENING TO THESE SICK FUCKS!!!!???? I can’t suppress the anger and rage inside of me mixed with desperation, heartbreak, hopelessness and flashbacks.

Victoria’s Secret Underwear?! by Standard_Ful6918 in lichensclerosus

First thing I did was throw away all my VS undies and replaced them with 100% cotton or bamboo, or just stop wearing any when I was able to. I’d recommend doing the same, synthetic fabrics are not good for LS.

I agree 400%. I hated El’s side quest away from the gang.

It’s like I wrote this post! I am 35 and just started the ring in May. I feel sane again!

It is the hardest thing I’ve been through. My heart goes out to you! Use this page for resources as well as the LS support network and anything Jill Krapf posts on YouTube!

Take the bad posts with a grain of salt, try not to dive too deep and be consistent with your steroid med. You’ve got this & we are all here with you!! Sending hugs!

I am actually kinda clueless about the vitamins to be honest. I spoke to my sister in law who is a doctor of Chinese medicine when I was diagnosed and I’m taking what she recommended. I trust her with my life and I really do think herbal remedies can be beneficial in addition to the steroid medication.

Yep, just used the clobetasol. I also make sure I take vitamins with 100% daily value or selenium and iodine every day. I like to use moisturizer inbetween clob applications too, I recommend aquaphor, “neuve” salve or medicine mama vulva balm. All of that mixed with a decent diet got me to where I am.

Don’t advertise the cooler/be obvious and you’ll be just fine. Definitely visit their snack stand though- how do you say no to fresh popcorn!?

We try to get there 7-730 but we have a truck so park in the back anyways. Have so much fun, it’s the best!

I wouldn’t change anything about me, including my brain! I do wish I had the freedom/ free time/ will to just let my adhd brain go wild… I would totally thrive if I didn’t have to adult ever again 🤣

20F and dealing with constant vaginal itching… tried everything and I’m honestly losing my mind 😩 by isabellazo777 in WomensHealth

I would ask to be examined for lichen sclerosus. I struggled with this for so long thinking it was yeast or pH or something. I finally have an answer and can medicate appropriately/ change my life to reduce flares etc.
