Guest guest Posted April 9, 1999 Report Share Posted April 9, 1999 /All, I used Crisco for years. It helped the urine from burning my skin somewhat and kept all those tissues down there moist without irritating them. It's not a treatment or a cure but a comfort measure. When I told Dr. that was what I had been using his reaction was positive also. Hope you're all having a good day. Robin AMAZING! From: ZipSkpChia@... Hi All....I just wanted to post an interesting conversation I had with a nurse practitioner in the family practices division today. I made an appointment for a nagging ear and sinus infection and ended up talking about vulvar vestibitulits for at least a half an hour. The conversation started by me saying that I was no longer on the BCP because of VV, lack of libido, etc, during the initial 'what's bothering you today' phase of the interview. She looked at me and said that I was the second person that has come into her office this week discussing these same issues! We talked about other methods of birth control and then things I can do about pain all the while I am thinking about this nasty ear pain. She recommended Crisco for that 'burning, itchy' time (she knew what she was talking about without me mentioning my symptoms!!) and stated that she thinks that this problem has been around for far longer than people are willing to recognize given the amount of stigma/myths around what does/does not cause it. She encouraged me to continually tell docs the reason why I'm OFF the BCP and to educate those that do not know about VV or the ramifications of this disorder. I was amazed to say the least!!! For the last two and a half years, I went from doc to doc until I found one that could diagnose me and thought she was my one and only chance at help. Then I show up to have my ear checked at a family physician office and mumble why I'm not on the BCP without wanting to go into a lengthy, detailed discussion and it turns out this wonderful lady is gun-ho on the whole subject! I was so excited!! I graciously thanked her for listening and for supporting me and told her I would let her know how the Crisco works out! It was a wonderful experience to say the least!!!
