Hi Lindsayg
Interesting - i take my hat off to the women who put themselves forward for the study.

Re: Botox shots effective in treatment of vulvadynia
Rosemary,
I had Botox shots, done by Dr. Hibner in Phoenix, back in October and had a lot of improvement. He said they usually last about 3 months. But I was out of the country for 6 weeks dec-jan and they did wear off. I just had them again on feb. 14th, but the Botox hasn't kicked in yet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they start any day now.

Hi Lindsay
I did read that you had had botox but didn't realise it was in the vulva - i am in the UK - my pain consultant hasn't mentioned it as any future option- i will ask him next time.
Hope that you get some more improvement.
