Re: Lichen Sclerosus KEEP HOPE

Im 46 and I was diagnosed 6 months ago. Im really scared and depressed. I have trouble having intercourse it hurts so bad. Once I had torn the skin at the very end of my vagina. I cried so hard not so much as for the pain but the disgust of all of it. I never had any problems my whole life and why now? I had a hysterectomy at 30 I was ill and never any problems since.I still have 1 ovary and I pretty sure im going through menopause. I work third shift, ive put weight on and im tired all the time. I've started a new way if eating healthy eliminating carbs and all sugars. I hope I can get a grip on this..ive been doing the creams for months it went away and its back again. I just cant express how helpless I feel about this. Im still young and full of life. I just remarried 4 years ago and im afraid this will put a wedge between us. I really hope my husband can help me through this along with the Doctor. Please respond back. I have no one else to talk to about this disease. I feel alone.
