And We're Back to This Again

I saw my doctor again for my 3 month follow up. We are keeping the DIV diagnosis but adding back in the provoked vulvodynia diagnosis for the perinum area. I thought I had ripped it, but I was wrong. I am now waiting for a compound cream to just do in that area. I am really nervous about adding something to the mix, because I have been having a lot of good days with just the Estrace cream, although I will admit that I am worried that I am starting to slip in the sex comfortableness area. I keep reminding myself that this is only for 2 months and if it doesn't work we can go back to what I am doing. I am just worried that if it aggravates the situation I won't be able to go back.

  1. Hi,how are you? ive just been reading your blog, and i am suffering from the same, i have been so bad, and the burning is horrible and i feel like i have no skin inside. what are you currently taking for DIV? i think its good to talk to someone who has it as well as they can understand the pain.
    look forward to hearing back.

  2. Hi! I am sorry you are dealing with this as well. I am currently doing estrace once a day for the DIV and then amitrip/baclof compounded cream on a bad spot that my doctor thinks might be vulvodynia. What have you tried so far?

  3. Hi - hope you are finding some relief - I too have been diagnosed with DIV - I am also on the east coast - we don't seem to have any specialists in my area - I am in VA and have to go to Charlotte NC - where is yours?

  4. I am using one in Philadelphia, PA, so a little bit of a trek. It is amazing how little regular practioners seem to know about this. What does your doctor have you trying?
