Sandra,

I went through the same "feels like yeast, but isn't" syndrome. I was fortunate because my doc referred me to a vulvar specialist right away. The only way you can know whether it is VV is to be evaluated by someone knowledgable enough to do an assessment, and to rule out other possibilities. You can try the Vulvodynia Support site - they have a medical directory.

If there isn't any one listed near you, I'd ask the family doc for a referral to someone with a specialty in vulvar disorders. It really is worth it.

Good luck.
