Guest guest Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 Sherri, Was it Traumeel that you were getting every 7-10 days? nne From: VulvarDisorders [mailto:VulvarDisorders ] On Behalf Of Shopper56@... Sent: Saturday, March 01, 2008 4:32 PM To: VulvarDisorders Subject: RE: Hollis - traumeel When I got the injections I was getting three or four at a time. Two on each side of the vestibule or sometimes two on one side and one on the other. I don't remember how quickly they worked. I went for a series (every 7-10 days for like 2-3 months) to different times. I had gotten pain with sex twice after having a bv infection. The injections worked for that. Since using estradiol I don't get pain after the bv infection anymore. Sherri -------------- Original message -------------- Sherri, Did you notice an improvement with your first injection? Or was the effect cumulative? I had one -- my first -- at my last appointment and all i can say is that i was thrilled it didn't cause a flare-up. Besides feeling a little dull ache at the injection site for a few days i really didn't notice anything one way or another. It would be nice if i had someone locally that could give them to me on a regular basis, since i'm just too far from Philly for that, but i don't -- at least not yet. Hollis Hi Hollis: The base was aloe gel. I get everything compounding in aloe gel. I didn't have inprovement with the topical Traumeel. I thought the Traumeel injections worked really well. Sherri ------------ -- Original message ------------ -- From: hgz <hgz (AT) verizon (DOT) net> Sherri, Yes she did. But it's cheaper and just easier for me to do it myself. Plus, i like playing around with stuff like this. . . Did you have any positive response with the Traumeel? What base was used by Custom Prescriptions?

Did she give you that option? Sherri ------------ -- Original message ------------ -- From: hgz <hgz (AT) verizon (DOT) net> Melinda, Hmmm. . . my bottle has 100 tablets. Must be different sizes. The ten tablets are for making up one batch -- which will last quite a while. Just be sure to grind them very, very, very finely; otherwise you'll be left with little sharp pieces which are NOT crotch-friendly, believe me! A mortar and pestle would probably be easiest, but my method is to put the 10 tablets in a ceramic cereal bowl, break them down with a metal spoon, and then smoosh/ rub the pieces against the sides over and over until they're turned into an extremely fine powder. Add to 1 oz. emu oil and store in a glass jar. Per 's directions, i apply a fingertipful (my term, not hers) to my vulva 3x/day. Hope this works for you. Tell me how it goes! Hollis Hollis, I was wondering about your traumeel in emu oil potion...I am interested in trying this as I am pregnant and can't use any of the steroids or creams I was using, and I already love emu. I bought some traumeel tablets, but there are only 60 in a bottle...are you using 10 every single time you apply, or does 10 make up multiple applications? Melinda Quote
