Your Post - Instant Ocean Sitz Baths

July 27, 1999

Eileen,

Hi there. How are you doing today? I have been much better for reasons

unknown to me. To tell you the truth...I haven't soaked in about a

week....only because I've been feeling better. I really should continue

though as a preventative. Yesterday afternoon I got scared because I thought

I felt some burning. It may have been the underwear I was wearing...which I

tore off immediately as soon as I felt a warm feeling. I was sweating a lot

....maybe the underwear was washed in regular detergent or my boyfriend put

fabric softener in the dryer...I don't know. Anyway....I'm still OK today.

I also shave the hair off around the opening down there...maybe the skin was

reacting to my sweat.

I used a steroid cream in the beginning called Fluocin Acet 0.025%...that's

what it says on the tube. It thinned the skin out and even though I felt

better I was experiencing atrophy down there. I attempted sex during that

time...big mistake....and I had a terrible flare for about a week after that.

I then stopped using it and used the Vaseline/Vicks or the Vaseline/Orajel

stuff...remember...for the pain. I continued to soak everyday and only once

in a while put the steroid cream on. About a week and a half ago...I

noticed the burning had stopped and I began to feel " normal. " It was right

after my period. But as my VV got better....I had that fluish feeling which

lasted about a week. I now feel much better...don't know why. I am also

going to a chiroprator....maybe it's helping all around....who knows? I am

also taking acidopholus everyday and eating more yogurt. My discharge is

also more normal. It doesn't look like string mozzarella lately....it's more

clear.

It's a mystery to me why I feel better....I do wish I knew what made me

better so I can share it with all of you.

So...how have you been feeling? How was that Dr. in Manhattan? Let me know

what's going on with you, OK. Bye for now.

Florence
