Re: answers about injections/24/7 Burning

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to add that vestibulitis *can* also

cause 24/7 burning (but doesn't always cause it). I

had 2 distinct kinds of 24/7 burning: the dysesthesia,

plus burning around the opening to my vagina, from my

vestibulitis. Once the Estrace got my VVS under

control, that burning around my vestibule disappeared.

It was only then that I could tell the 2 different

types of burning apart. My PT told me that women like

me often have a hard time distinguishing their types

of burning until one or the other shows some

improvement - otherwise, it seems like diffuse,

non-focal burning.

Just my two cents.

Take care!
