Itching!

Hi Everyone!

I hope you all are having a super healing and low symptom day! I've been dealing with some pretty intense vaginal itching for 2 months now. Matia recommended yoghurt and then douching with goldenseal, both of which unfortunately did not work. She then recommended Gynatren, which I am currently on day 7 of 14 of. I have not yet felt any relief and am trying to be patient, but the itching is literally driving me insane! It's strange, but otherwise, my bladder and pelvic area feel great, better than before the itching began. I was wondering if anyone has experienced this before or could share a story of dealing with itching that they were able to get under control? 

I hope you all are doing well!

Much love,

 

Julia :)

Hi!
 I am so sorry to hear you have been dealing with this for so long!!! i have had slight itching on and off from the beginning of IC but in OCtober I had a pretty severe few weeks. It was terrible . All I can say is that it passed and I think it was one of my few die off events. Nothing helped except taking a super hot bath so I could fall asleep. I am sorry you have been experiencing this nightmare for so long but I have faith that it will end. (((((hug))))

Itching was one of my main symptoms before treatment and still dealing with it daily, but only for hours at a time. Yogurt helped a bit, but never really totally took away the itching especially when going to the bathroom so frequently I felt like needed to keep reapplying to keep up with any relief. I agree with Deir the only thing that really helped was a hot bath! The itching is enough to drive you absolutely insane! So sorry you are dealing with this! It will get better, I promise! Hopefully very soon for your sanity!
