He never ordered any lab work or did a vaginal culture on me. Just told me my problem was not hormonal or infectious. Just kept prodding away at me like I was an animal. For days later I sat on a heating pad had the worst soreness in my vulva I ever had and my leg went numb and twitched. Does this sound familiar to any of your other ladies?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976439803135772679.post-1716940237302162962010-04-19T15:59:04.938-07:002010-04-19T15:59:04.938-07:00After stopping the est/test gel, did Dr. Goldstein...After stopping the est/test gel, did Dr. Goldstein start you on another treatment? You say you might try it again so I assume that you are still having issues. Were his other treatment options helpful?<br /><br />Also, Pearl suggested using Vitamin E oil every now and then to soothe the vagina after using the gel and I've tried it and it does seem to help. So if you try the gel again, maybe you could also try some vitamin E too.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05580830346420189136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976439803135772679.post-44313838469662120102010-04-19T14:49:23.636-07:002010-04-19T14:49:23.636-07:00Hi!

I agree with everything you said about him.<br /><br />I also have tried the est/test treatment last summer. I had to stop b/c of the itchiness, but perhaps I should try it again. <br /><br />Let us know how it goes.<br /><br />And yes, I remember that vinegar test well- ouch!<br /><br />Hope all goes well for you! :)miriamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976439803135772679.post-30593721715587407232010-04-19T14:12:34.445-07:002010-04-19T14:12:34.445-07:00Yes, my husband thinks he read something that said...Yes, my husband thinks he read something that said that the hormone testing that most doctors do is based on a standard for men! Can this be possible?! He said it's been a while and he could be wrong, but I guess that could be one explanation for doctors telling us that our hormones are normal when they are far from normal. Can doctors really be testing female hormones based on male numbers? Surely this can't be true, but that's what he thought he read.<br /><br />Anyway, you will be fine on May 4th. I won't tell you not to worry because I know that there's no way that you can just let that anxiety go as you anticipate your appointment. But based on my appointment, I really think that yours will go well.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05580830346420189136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976439803135772679.post-3894211343439187582010-04-19T11:07:40.361-07:002010-04-19T11:07:40.361-07:00Thank you so much for keeping this blog.

Glad that I don't feel so alone (I also am told my hormones are normal, but there is just no way. I'm not an idiot. There is no way).<br /><br />I was so pleased to read your post today. Please feel better soon.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08519501274665889645noreply@blogger.com
