hi girls,

i emailed wealthy friends in canada and asked them if they could help me pay for

tests

that i want to get done because my dad wont pay, and sent to geneva diagnostics

in the

states. they said yes and they are sending me the money on monday!. i am getting

the

vaginosis profile done, stool test for yeast sensitivities and allergy,

extensive hormone

profile, celiac disease test, thyroid panel, food allergy test, inflammation

profile and

intestinal permeability. what do you guys think? does that sound good? i also

want to get

tested for lymes, fibro and get my oxalate levels tested, but they dont do these

tests at

this clinic, so i need to find out where i can get them done. i hope they find

something and

there is something treatable or life is going to be over for me, ill just end it

all.

Dusty, i am not on any birth control pills, there has never been any point in

that really

cause sex is hell and i dont want to bring a man into this.

i am going to try and get some E cream from somewhere, but im really scared to

put

things on my crotch now, cause they usually burn like hell and make things

worse.

i really just cant see this ever going away bacause the whole damn thing is

sore! i hope i

havent just damaged the nerves in my skin, and thats why its raw because u cant

fix that.

thanks for all your help and support guys.

Dear Gemma,

I am so happy for you that you have found a way to fund your trip to

the US. It is very generous of your relatives to do so. That was a

great idea for you to ask them. There is a doctor, Herzl Melmed, M.D.

in Denver Colorado who specializes in vulvar vestibulitis and will do

oxalate testing. Here are two numbers for him. 1- and

1-. Dr Melmed is a very caring, special individual. Not

your typical doctor, it would seem. Here also are two fax numbers:

1- and 1-. (He has two office's in the Denver

area.)

Good luck with setting up all of your apptments. I hope you begin to

find some answers--this has been such a long and difficult road for

you and this wonderful idea you had to ask for financial help from

your relatives--even though it must have been hard to do, could be a

turning point in your life, Gemma! I hope so . Getting these tests

done is a great start, but keep in mind that your answers will not

necessarily come 'overnight'. There are still hurdles ahead of you and

the testing, follow-up etc all take time. You have shown yourself to

be a 'problem-solver' though, and this will be one of your greatest

strengths as you procede down your road to recovery.

I am just so happy for your great news, Gemma!

Keep us posted!

That's great news, Gemma. Genova is a very good lab and all the tests

you'll be ordering should give you some good information to base some

treatment decisions on.

Gemma,

Also - start the self-care protocol, if you have not.

Get a small sizt pan (plastic, maybe through a medical

supply or large drug store, inexpensive)

and twice a day fill with warm water and 3 teaspoons

of baking soda. Sit in it for 10 to 15 mintues.If you

are using a bathtub, make that TABLESPOONS to increase

the amount of baking soda.

Get a small spritz or spray bottle and rinse every

time you pee, with water. Then pat (dont rub!!) dry,

using something soft. I have 7 washcloths and use one

a day for patting dry at home, but soft toilet paper

works.

Cover the area with olive oil, lightly - not enough to

run onto your clothing, a drop or two works.

When you will be exercising or sweating (hot weather

wallk, for instance) use straight sinc oxide instead

(over the counter, not expensive, in a tube).

Wash your underwear only in All Free detergent if you

can get it, and double rinse. WHITE COTTON underwear,

I get a size too big so lots of air circulates.

Be patient - you didn't get here overnight, and

getting better will take time.

Gemma,

oxalate testing does not require an expert - and

oxalate diets are not necessarily working for very

many people - so don't choose your Dr. based on

oxalates. Anyone can test for that. My local clinic

did the test for me.

That's great, Gemma! I'm so happy you're doing all of those tests. I hope you find the problem.

With the Baking Soda or a sitz bath with that? I'd test it first on myself. It was one of the few things that was like fire on me and something I just couldn't use. We're all different that's for sure. Dee~

That's good news Gemma.

Also, with fibro a rheumatologist can test you for that by

checking for tender points.

Will your friends help pay the cost to have your test to check

for Lyme sent to some of the labs here in the U.S. such as

IGenex or Medical Diagnostic Laboratories?

That's why when it comes to recommending the sitz baths with

baking soda that I tell them to start with one teaspoon to see

if they can handle it.

Also, in many of those countries they have bidets to rinse

themselves off after they pee.

It's not something that is done with regularity here in the U.S.

Hi Gemma, Would you like me to do some research on physical therapy for you? To try to find one in your area?

I have a bidet - it was in my house when we bought it,

and the elderly lady who sold us the house said she

liked to wash her feet in it.

It works great, however mine SOMETIMES leaks and if

I'm not careful to turn it off really hard it runs for

hours and down along the pipes into the basement. My

spouse gets really mad. But it sure is handy. Plus I

can put my sitz bath pan on the bidet instead of the

toilet.
