Lichen sclerosus- does anyone else have this condition? Going off all the other posts I'm guessing yes. I have just been diagnosed via biopsy with this, and I am absolutely terrified. I have researched online and it seems horrific. I have seen two different gynecologists. The first told me to use steroid once a day for 2 weeks then twice a week till symptoms go. Then when I have a flare up. He said it was mild and not to worry. Then on my next app, I saw a different consultant who told me to use steroid 3 times per week for life. Although, he never even examined me to check how treatment was going? Also, he said to go and enjoy myself because its only going to get worse, he said the steroid won't stop it progressing and in 5, 10, 20 years time it will be much worse. Then he said if you think it's bad now wait until menopause! (I mean I'm verging on a breakdown by this point.) I then told him I was panicking now. Only to be told, well why do that your blood pressure will go up and you could get diabetes! Then it was bye and come back in a year. Anyway, I am wanting to hear from anyone who has successfully treated this disease especially for a number of years. I feel so depressed, can't see how to pull my self out of this...I have been following Jill Krapf online, as she seems knowledgeable. Just want it to go away....
