Re: Antibiotics? Sandi? Dee?

[Guest guest]

Last August when I was at my wits end and did not know

that I had vulvodynia, I went to my dermatolgist for a

diagnosis. He put me on tetracycline for a month and

the symptoms miraculously disappeared. After the

second month he did not want me to continue because of

side effects, but promised me if the symptoms

returned, he would refill my perscription.

My symptoms returned in late February, I thought

solely because of a pair of jeans. Now I can't wear

any pants. I had completely forgot that those two

summer months last year of undiagnosed vulvodynia

seemed to be some bad dream that went away

coincidentally enough after taking tetracycline. I

still don't know, but I thought it might be worth

mentioning.

still mystified,
