Guest guest Posted November 10, 2002 Report Share Posted November 10, 2002 Welcome to the group, Fansler! You report a host of diabetes complications (kidney transplant, dialysis, leg circulation problems, angioplasty). Please tell us how you go about treating your diabetes, and your history (medications, insulin, etc.). Maybe we can help. What was your latest HbA1c? Some complications can be reversed. How are your eyes? How about neuropathy? Susie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To help us get acquainted, could you let us know how you are controlling your bg's? Diet/exercise, orals, insulin or ?. Feel free to ask any diabetes-related question that comes to you. There are many here with a lot of experience at controlling (or not controlling) and willing to share their knowledge. , T2, diagnosed 4/98 (15.5%HbA1c), controlling with LC, average fasting bg 100mg/dl, last HbA1c 5.6% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The therapy has done wonders for the pain during intercourse, but I still have the throbbing, irratation afterward. I don't know if I should be on more elavil..but it makes me extremely tired even when taken at night.>> Intercourse is causing acute inflammation that the Elavil isn't able to mask the pain. Maybe increasing the Elavil will help. Taking more though will probably just make you more tired. Elavil doesn't seem to work as well for women with vvs as it does for dv. Several of us have found that using Atropine cream eliminates post sex pain. We've also had luck using the Lidocaine Cotton Ball (LCB) treatment for post sex pain too. You can find information about both in the archives. Debbie Tiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had occlusion cysts (not sure if that is how it is spelled) from Always Pads. It was tiny and caused some irritation but the doctor gave me steroid cream and it went away. If it didn't go away, he would have to open it to drain. It was smaller than a pea. I stopped using Always Pads and have not had another since then. My mom had the same thing happen to her. Here is a site that discusses vulvar bumps: http://www.aafp.org/afp/980401ap/hill.html including gland infections. The pain you have on and off could be related to your back pain. Those areas are pretty tied in together. I would say, relax and see if not messing with things let's it heal up. From all the examining, you may have introduced a bacterial infection. Best yet is to see your gynocologist or MD and have them take a look. Maybe the cyst/bump is still there but too small for you to see. Have yourself tested for all the infections and yeast. Then you can relax more. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
