Please Help!

Hello:

I am desperate to find a doctor that specializes in Vulvodynia & Vestibulitis. scream My Uro suspects I have this problem and wants me to find a Gyno that can help. I live in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

It took me 2 years to get an IC diagnosis I don't want to experience the same grief again. For the last 2 weeks, I have been to the emergency, clinic twice, and my own GP 3 times. The pain is very bad and my pain medicine does not work for this pain. :mad:

I have a few leads on doctors (3) that practice in Canada but not in my own Province. I visited a Vulva support website that had a doctor list but to join it costs $40.00 to get to see the list. :confused:

Thank you,

Yvonne - I am sorry you are having such a rough time.

I have Vulvodynia and vestibulitis and know how miserable you must feel.

My uro basically diagnosed it and I did find one gyn that agreed but her treatment plan was to take Prosac and it would eventually get better. My uro referred me to a biofeedback clinician. She seems to be the place that the gyn's send their patients to with VV. So I guess I didn't need the gyn to get to the treatment. Biofeedback and Neurontin is helping. I hope this helps, Cindy

I insert lidocaine jets and I can't believe how much they help, and how fast. If I don't have the time to do it or the pain is too bad to mess with it I take the cheapest cough medicine with dextroethorphan in it. When I when for my pap last year I told my gyno what I was taking and he said it was find...it wasn't going to hurt me. I have even resorted to OTC creams with lidocaint or cortizon in them.

Wishing you the very very best kissing

Hello my friends:

I have no treatment as of yet, still looking for a doctor but I will take your suggestions to my GP. This is a little frustrating as I took my complaints to my Gyno over the last 4 years. I went to him a few months ago with complaints and he blamed it on the IC despite the pain I complained about during my physical.

We really need to get the word out about Vulvodynia as well as IC, these doctors need educating.

Thank you, sending you all hugs,

Hello:

I found a doctor in Vancouver. I am very happy, she works from the same hospital as my Urologist.

Hugs to all,
