Guest guest Posted October 6, 2000 Report Share Posted October 6, 2000 For information about Lotrisone, go to: http://www.healthsquare.com/pdrfg/pd/monos/lotrison.htm#WHAT.SIDES If your doctor prescribed this medication I would ask him why. Do you have a yeast infection? If not or you do not know, I would not use any kind of yeast medication. I used gyne-lotrimin and I think it caused me all kinds of problems. But Lotrisone has other ingredients which could cause more problems. I would certainly want to know why I was using it. If it is one of those " let's try this " things - your reaction should be " let's NOT try this " .

" Those were his exact words. I'm aware that yeast infections are fungal infections and that the same ingredients that are in lotrisone are in OTC yeast infection medications. >I used gyne-lotrimin and I think it caused me all kinds of problems.

Well, since he's the one with the M.D. after his name and he seemed convinced that this is the problem, I figured I would humor him. This stuff is supposed to clear up the itch in 1-2 weeks if I apply it twice daily. It's worth using it just so I can call back and gloat when it doesn't work. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

(They NEVER are.) He seemed to agree with my last gynecologist in that I didn't have a vaginal yeast infection. My last OB/GYN did a wet prep to see if I had one. There's no internal itching, anyway. It's all external. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Anne, the problem is that you might be WORSE after using it. I doubt that would be worth the gloat...... If you really want to try it, I would perhaps not start using it 2x a day, but rather once a day, or even less frequently, for at least 5 days, to make sure you don't burn from it. Then, if it feels ok, increase the dosing....... And by the way, don't think that just because they have " M.D. " after their name, and they are CONVINCED they have your diagnosis, that they are right. I have been told that I DEFINITELY have imbedded yeast, a psychological problem, and a sexual problem, by M.D.'s when I have none of the above. And my list is a short one compared to other womens' DEFINITE diagnoses. -- V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 6, 2000 Report Share Posted October 6, 2000 Hi Ladies, Lotrisone was one of the many topicals I tried when I was looking for relief. My personal experience with it was...stinging....redness....and increased burning. I paid something like $32.00 for the tube and only used it a couple of times. It definitely made my problems worse. Just wanted to share my experience. Remember too, that we are all individuals here. Just because this happened to me...doesn't mean it will happen to you.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2000 Report Share Posted October 6, 2000 This is the SECOND ob/gyn I've seen, and this is the SECOND one who has prescribed a topical cream. I'm going to at least use it as directed and let it fail so he can't blame me for not trying. > >Anne said: It's worth using it just so I can call back and gloat when it >doesn't work. > >Anne, the problem is that you might be WORSE after using it.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2000 Report Share Posted October 7, 2000 I have come to the conclusion that a regular ob/gyn is useless for conditions like ours...we require more specialized treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2000 Report Share Posted October 7, 2000 lotrisone or anything with " sone " on the end of it never did me any good, it only made the burning worse. i personally hate topical creams anyways, they seem to cause more trouble than good for me. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2000 Report Share Posted October 7, 2000 most on this list have VV, or vulvodynia, constant /chronic 24/7 vulvar pain that has no proven treatments. that is why many people urge you to see a specialized doctor. > >Reply-To: VulvarDisordersegroups >To: VulvarDisordersegroups >Subject: Re: Re: Lotrisone >Date: Fri, 06 Oct 2000 23:46:22 GMT > > > >I have come to the conclusion that a regular ob/gyn is useless for > >conditions like ours...we require more specialized treatment. > > > > > >I'm not sure what " condition " you're referring to.

Ah. Well, I'm not in pain. I just itch. All the time. Constantly. 24/7. The itching makes it impossible to have sex since the skin is so sensitive, it feels stretched and pulled during intercourse. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
