it was reccomended to use the vagisil wash..? @utopia or the wipes from the same company
ive tried to elimate things as its more recenlty- im using the same washing powder for clothes and things and i dont wash with soaps there. i always thought i shoudl but i wa told not to so i havent done that for a long time now and still using the same toilet paper as well
all my std tests and infections came back that there wasnt anything there except the hpv but apparntly even at this level i wouldnt be getting these symptoms. im wondering if ive developed something in the 3 weeks the swabs were getting tests as i wasnt itchy then... maybe stress has brought on the infection
yes the joys of anxiety hey- it never seems to give up does it.
might have to take up your breathing technique again of a night before sleep as that was helping me until the study got more intense.
im trying to be comfortable but when im itchy and 'wet' and can smell it myslef its making me very paranoid about it and its not very comfortable at all
@utopia i think im going of the scales abit too- re above msg with the dot points

@outlanderI can relate to what you said. I've always wanted to feel normal too.
Thanks for asking about my flu recovery - it's been a long road.
I went back to work 2 days ago, although I'm nowhere near better yet. I really wasn't ready for work yet, & it seems to have made it worse again. I've really been struggling.
How did you know I had been around on the forums? Yes you're right I have been checking in, but I'm almost totally non-verbal (unable to express things) when ill - so I have not been able to write.
