Sorry this is a long post:
I was diagnosed last Monday with LS. I am so depressed - I have had pain, burning and soreness since the end of October when I first became pregnant. I had a swab taken and came back with Strep B which I had once about 4 years ago and remember I got vulva soreness for weeks after. Until now I have not had any problems. I am 29 years old and had been trying for a baby for over a year. I ended up having a miscarriage at 10 weeks and was bleeding very heavy for 2 weeks. I had to have 9 internal scans which made the vulva pain so much more worse and made me tare. I ended up also getting a bad urine infection with awful diarrhoea and was admitted to hospital for 5 days as I was so dehydrated. When I was in hospital they gave me Trimovate cream which seemed to help a little and used it for 4 weeks. I then started my period and stopped using it for 2 weeks and things seemed to settled. I went to see a vulva specialist who diagnosed me with vulva LS and told me to start using the Trimovate cream agaom and prescribed me some tablets to take for the nerve pain. She said she could tell it was LS as I had white patches, redness,tares all around my vulva and anus with skin changes.
Things have got worse within the last week and am going to see the specialist on Saturday morning at her private clinic. I have had to take more time off work as it hurts so much to even wear knickers. The nerve pain also seems to radiate up inside my vagina and sometimes when I urinate I have white like tissue/skin in my urine. The consultant said for me to stop using the Trimovate cream until I see her on Saturday.
I don't know how I can live like this. I haven't had sex with my husband since September and we are both desperate for a baby. I really feel like I will never be able to have sex again as I am in so much pain.
Did anyone else first get LS when they first became pregnant. Has it settled down? Did anything help it settle down?
I feel like I have no hope anymore and will never enjoy life again.
