The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Herpes (types 2). IC. Vulvodynia.
One year ago I was diagnosed with genital herpes. Two months later I would have a UTI feeling but tests would always come back negative. After much research I have come to the conclusion I have developed IC. Along with the IC I now have vulvodynia. I have had non stop genital irritation, pain, swelling, burning, bladder pain, bladder spasms. I am a 33 year old single female that is starting the think that with all of this happening I will never find a partner :(. I have had constant pain for almost one year. Have been in high doses of valtrex which did nothing, accupuncture, increasing vitamins and minerals, have had blood work done and everything is normal. I do see a homeopath and with everything else he has helped tremendously. But this on going issue I have spent hundreds of dollars and getting no relief.Does anyone have any suggestions, similar issues??? I am desperate for help....

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
He has helped with previous issues. But unfortunately so far no help with this current issue. I just spent $350 on my last visit with him to days ago. Usually when I take what he gives me I get some sort of relief instantly but again nothing. Sepia takes the edge off and thats about it. Im also on 5P which isn't giving me any relief. He has me on so many remedies right now....

I have never tried color warm application. If I think about using either I feel like warmth would not feel good and the cold would feel better. So I will try a cold application tonight.
Pressure is a little uncomfortable.
OB meaning out break.
*Now when I get what I think is an out break I get weird headaches...
Genital warts, one was cauliflower like at the bottom right side opening of the vaginal hole and two flat ones on the right inner labia minora.
I feel hopeless as if there is nothing out there to help me feel better and that I have to live with this uncomfortable burning swelling pain for the rest of my life... its becoming very depressing.
Also, when my groin lymph nodes get sore sometimes its just the left side and when my vulva is swollen its more so on the left side.

Im afraid this will never get better. Afraid of being alone forever.
I feel alone because this isn't something easily discussed and nobody understands the pain and discomfort. I have a friend that I can talk to about this but I know she just doesn't understand. I want to tell my mom but I don't want her to feel as if they have failed as parents.

I tried cold last night and it felt good to have it on. As soon as I took it off the burning felt more intense but went away quickly.

Ok. Again, thank you so much.
I woke up at 3am with intense itching of my anus and vagina so I took a Gam-S which helped within 15 min. When I woke this morning (4 hrs later) the itching was still there a bit so I took another Gam-S and helped again.
Also yesterday I had colonics done and the rest of the day and this morning my bowels feel empty but lower abdomen hard and bloated feeling.

Gammadyn-S is something my homeopath gave me.
Colonics is a colon cleanse.
I will try the warm application later this evening.

Treatment of vulvodynia is difficult and can require great patience and persistence on the part of both patient and practitioner.
Take 'Ranuncolus 30' 10 drops in 30 ml luke warm water. (Morning time empty stomach)
Take 'Kreosotum 30' 10 drops in 30 ml luke warm water. (afternoon and night)
Take 'Phosphorus 6c' 10 drops in 30 ml luke warm water. (at bed time)
Do not use deodorants, perfumes or other cosmetics.
Take a diet, which is rich in the amino acid lysine like beans, lentils, cheese, nuts, soya beans (tofu), fenugreek seed, meat (red meat, pork), poultry, eggs, fish (cod and sardines)
Drink eight to ten glasses of water, per day.
Garlic is antiviral. In the morning take a tiny piece of garlic and crush it
with the knife. Follow with a glass of water (swallowing instead of chewing
avoids garlic breath).
follow as advised.
Report after 3 days.
Have patience and try to keep your self happy.

Dr. Rahat, as I can see the remedies suggested by you are not fitting the case.
They might be palliative at best.
Please share your repertorization to explain why should she take them.

I no need to give explanation to anybody. Our views are diffrent, if you think remedies are not appropriate for the case, kindly suggest remedies with your huge experience and let the patients decides what to take.
You may continue with your prescription i am leaving this case this is the first time that somebody point out finger on my prescription in my 10 yrs study.
Best of luck...!

Thanks for leaving the case.
If you are a doctor as you claim to be, you will not be offended when someone asks the basis for your prescription.
Prescribing remedies without repertorizatin and to top it all with mixing remedies is NOT homeopathy.
