And it drove me nuts and this is the gross part (sorry for this) where it happened, the entire side swelled up and ended up looking well...as though I was developing a testicle and I kid you not. I never went and saw anybody because I was actually that embarrassed, (which I should not have been, but I was young). I just left it and it died down. So whatever it was, it wasn't anything dangerous, but certainly aggravating to say the least. And yeah to me? The little bits here and there when you fall off the wagon can be enough to cause a full blown flare up. Someone else may get it elsewhere, like with me, falling off the wagon is devastating, even in small amounts. I become mentally unstable, nervous, depressed and basically life is just a nightmare for me. I can almost feel the darkness descending not long after I've cheated. So just to reassure you, it doesn't take much at times to flare a problem area up. . > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my conclusion is that " little " cheats are not worth it, I've been very strict this week and have been having pureed food due to the indigestion discomfort. I do feel better for it already, but obviously I have alot of healing to do. All we can do is get back on track and come to this health group for support. love kat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Hi Janelle, I don't want to alarm you too much, but what you describe sounds the same as what happened to me about a year ago... it turned out to be genital herpes. I don't know your situation and like I said, I'm certainly not trying to scare you, but you should see your gynecologist. If it turns out to be nothing, that's great. The thing that really struck me about what you said was the small bumps on one side - for whatever reason, my herpes outbreaks are only on one side. And the itching and discomfort keep me awake at night. For some immediate relief, you could try a cold compress (such as a cold washcloth or even a baby wipe) on it at night, to help you sleep more comfortably. My gynecologist told me that 20-25% of the adult population has herpes, even if they don't know it. I knew nothing about it before this happened to me. My boyfriend (the person I caught it from) had no symptoms at all and no idea he had it. I was devastated when I found out, and it's taken me about a year to get used to it. I truly hope your situation is nothing. Good luck. > > > Hi girls > > I've had the worst vaginal itch in along time, started last night and > i think i may have been scratching in my sleep as it's very sore this > morning, the part that worries me the most is that i have two lumps > right on the side near the opening (sorry to be graphic)they are so > itchy it isnt funny, feels kind of like a mozquito bite (sp??), could > this just be candida as i have to admit i fell off the band wagon at > xmas and have had a fair amount of rubbish or should i have it > checked?

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 i have two lumps right on the side near the opening (sorry to > be graphic)they are so itchy it isnt funny, feels kind of like a > mozquito bite Just wanted to add that I have had what seem to be " bumps " that are very itchy that are in fact areas I scratched in my sleep, cut the skin (with my nails), and then the healing of this forms a little bump. Another possibility is an ingrown hair. Also, if it grows much bigger, ensure that it is not a lymph node. There are many lymph nodes in the groin area that clean the blood from the entire legs. As a teen, I had " cat scratch fever " as it is called where a cat scratch (involving cat litter of course under their claws) resulted weeks later in a plum- sized lump right at the panty line. If you ignore it and are healthy it will eventually heal, though you might have a grapefruit-sized lump first :-) Unfortunately I took the antibiotics as I was leaving for college at the time... +Corinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do sitz baths with 35% H202 dilutes to 3% first per the H202 articles and douche per the Vaginal Yeast Treatment article. Also apply lots of coconut oil to the area.
