I'm assuming that a doctor will know of this treatment. There's also the possibility, even if I had remembered that it could be called something else there, as I am in the UK.Pamela Stockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03355260804155394484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962097063569112990.post-24209416389214183002011-03-20T19:07:24.332-05:002011-03-20T19:07:24.332-05:00Hi Pamela!

If we don't laugh, then...<br /><br />I promise that my next post will be on vulvodynia. <br /><br />What specific hormone or hormones did your doctor give you? <br /><br />My hormones are definitely prone to being out of balance thanks to the PCOS, prediabetes, and who knows what else. Fortunately, I've got a great endocrinologist who tested me for a whole bunch of hormone problems. Between my birth control pills and metformin, things on the hormone front are getting back in line, I think.alysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12965588211524276512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962097063569112990.post-49995118839879534842011-03-20T06:12:50.384-05:002011-03-20T06:12:50.384-05:00Thinking you were going to write about vulvodynia,...Thinking you were going to write about vulvodynia, I was wondering where you were putting the yogurt. :) Sorry, if we don't laugh, well, you know the alternative. <br /><br />By the way, I also have ME/CFS and fibromyalgia (amongst other things) and also suffer with vulvodynia - to the extent that I hadn't even able to undergo a smear test for many years. It's been this bad for at least 10 years and was difficult (bad enough that I couldn't use tampons) for 20+ years before that. The hospital doctors were even considering giving me a general anaesthetic to be able to do the test! <br /><br />In the end, my GP gave me 14 days worth of hormone treatment, like HRT only in pessary form, which she said is only absorbed locally and therefore doesn't pose the same risks as oral HRT. And, after those 14 days, I was able to have the smear test done and laugh and joke at the same time - NO pain whatsoever. (The bad news is that the effect only lasted a couple of months or so.)<br /><br />I'm 54, so menopause is likely to be part of the problem in my case now, but I guess it's possible that your hormones are out of balance along with everything else. It might be worth discussing with your doctor.Pamela Stockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03355260804155394484noreply@blogger.com
