I've had that problem too with the raw irritation and itching . But the pain they speak of.. its not always there. My doc dx'd me with vaginosis. And he put me on amyltriptiline for it. Which is an antidepressant. But somehow helps the nerves. It doesnt help much for me though. So I dont know what he will want to do next. I hate talking about it. Its so embarrassing. But what do you do?
