Question: vaginal burning and tingling that started after shaving but 3 weeks after last sexual incounter. Extreme vaginal dryness and burning predominantly to right labia majora. No visible sores or lesions. Has been almost 9 weekss (since May 15) have had cultures repeated (once at 4wks then at 8wks after onset) all were negative. Hsv 2 serology negative at 8 weeks. hsv 1 positive didnt know I was. Have also been experiencing tingling to hands and feet although not as bothersome. Occasional feel the area under my left nostril tingle.Have seen 3 gps and one gynecologist. Gynecologist thinks it is related to my using of dove soap and bathing, as well as a ph imbalance. has advised me to stop both. not shave, use water only and shower instead. Have been doing as advised for 2 days now, burning and pain has increased. did try valtrex after onset of symptoms, as one gp felt it may be hsv related. No significant improvement and experience lots of parasthesia in extremities. (was on valtrex for approx 4 weeks!!!) On good days (since this has started) am feeling chafed and dry/irritated vaginally. Have no prior history of STD's, no known chronic illness and am not on birth control @ this time. Am getting very tired of this constant burning pain..................................................... any advise or direction ? am feeling at a dead end...
Would you suggest resuming of valtrex at this point???

Did get bloodwork done n b12 was 782 but was supplementing with b12 complex at the time for about a week. Could this have affected the result. Since then have stopped it would explain why symptoms have increased again. Although have had poor memory. Eczema n fatigue for a few yrs. could this be a malabsorption issue ie celiac? Or a parasite ( travelled to Ecuador oct). Have to admit am seldom eating veggies or eggs. Smoke n drink coffee have poor appetite and weight loss last 6 mths. Do u suspect nerve pain will recover? How long until I can expect improvement through dietary changes ?? Thank u do much. Makes alot of sense!!
Do u foresee the vulvodynia going away ??
