Hello all,
I've posted here several times here before; always about VA which came out of nowhere in August 2016 and turned my life upside down. I apologise for the repetition here for those of you who have seen my story before
I've been on Vagifem nightly since early February, and while I thought I had turned a corner in April and was 70-80% better, suddenly ten days ago it came back with a vengeance, for no reason that I can see. The burning is intense inside and out and I am really quite desperate.
This week I had a vaginal swab done (nothing) and 2 urine cultures (nothing). Sitting down is hell.
My endocrinologist ran a battery of tests and one came back positive, a marker for "Limited Scleroderma". I don't know to what extent it is related or causing the VA - I'm too worried and demoralised at this point to even look it up. Does anyone here have this? I know there are a number of ladies here who have auto-immune issues like me (I also have Hashimoto thyroiditis) so maybe someone has experience of this?
Any advice much appreciated.
Sadly,
KKay
