I Have Vulvar Lichen Sclerosus

Suffering Too!!

I've been suffering with LS for a long time and have tried everything. Does anyone know of a Dr here in Phoenix that specializes in this disease? My Gynecologist said nothing about this when I went to see her about my symptoms, you would think since she is a woman, she would know!! I ordered some cream on the web, hope it helps.

    Hi Tricia Did you have a biopsy with a confirmation of LS? Your doctor can give you a powerful steroid prescription creme that works well to relieve the pain, but isn't a cure.

    Please try giving up gluten. It is like a miracle. It will take a week and you will notice you are better....two weeks and it will be gone. They put gluten in everything so you have to work at it at first to make sure you are not eating any. Good Luck, Mary(Cured)

      Can you still have problems with gluten even if you don't have celiac disease? I don't know if I spelled that right.

      Yes you can have a reaction to gluten without having celiac disease. gluten triggers an autoimmune response in some people, including me. Are you 100% sure you have LS? Were you diagnosed with a biopsy like me? If yes, try giving up gluten. It is hard to do because they put it in everything. In one week your LS should be better. In two weeks it should be gone. Please try this! I would love to hear that you are cured! Mary (wellagain) Good luck to you dear!
