I Will Never Give Up On Finding a Natural Cure for Lichen Sclerosis
If you’ve ever heard of or are familiar with Lichen Sclerosis you know how uncomfortable it can be.
Not only is it uncomfortable, but it is just bad. There is no other to put it.
In January of this year, 2023, I developed this itch in my girly parts and I mean all over. It wasn’t contained to one area, but everywhere in my private area.
The itch was beyond severe and I was scratching like crazy. This itch woke me up in the middle of the night causing me to lose sleep.
After dealing with the itch for a few weeks I decided to call my girlfriend who lovingly informed me that she had experienced the same thing only to find out later that her itch came from shaving.
However, my girlfriend, not knowing where my itch came from, advised me to try a foot anti-fungal cream called Lotrimin. I ran to CVS and bought a tube along with Monistat. The itch got worse and I was suffering something awful. Unfortunately, neither cream worked for me and I was baffled. Those creams burned my vagina and clitoris like someone had put a torch down below.
A few days went by when all of a sudden the itch seemed to come to a halt and I was elated.
And then a month later the itch came back and has been with me since the end of February. I have been suffering so badly with LS that I began doing some serious research about this condition.
Lichen Sclerosis I Am Not Your Candidate
I read LS is associated with an autoimmune disease and I’ll have to live with it for the rest of my life. If that’s the case I will find a way to get relief from the deep down can’t stop scratching itch.
It was then that I made an appointment to see my GYN doc. She prescribed Clobetasol ointment and it worked for all of two seconds and here i was scratching more than ever.
Changing my diet has not helped, but I don’t think anything will help. However, I am going to keep trying to find a cure.
I made a few blends that included Shea butter, Tea Tree oil and a few other essential oils. They worked for a hot minute, but that’s it.
I kept trying the Clobetasol off and on, but something in that ointment made me feel funny if I used it for more than two days. I said the heck with this. Whatever ingredient is in it does not agree with my system.
Washing with Dove soap made the itch worse so I went back to using white Dial. It helps to soothe the itch.
This is what I told myself. Stop putting anything down there and see what happens.
Today is March 23, 2023 and I have not put any cream nor ointment in my private area and guess what, I barely itched.
As I prepare to get in bed and watch Michigan State play against Kansas State, I am going to see how I feel.
I pray that the itch stays away and never come back. Believing in the power of prayer, I am trusting God for His healing in my body, giving Him glory, honor and praise. Beyond grateful is an understatement.
Stay tuned for more of my story about LS because Lichen Sclerosis I am not your candidate.
Sincerely,
Cyndi
