Intimate items- we are talking about condoms, lubricants, vulvodynia, so if this topic is uncomfortable for you, just skip on by, but ALWAYS check everything for salicylates when you are on the Guaifenesin Protocol for your fibromyalgia, even intimate items <3
Condoms are not a problem, unless there is flavor or smell added to them, then you need to check the ingredients for salicylates.
Lubrications need to be checked for sals too. I have found several that are sal free.
We have a Fibro Buddies Vulvodynia group for those of you affected by this. Send me your email and I can add you. It’s a Secret group, so nobody can even see the name of the group or who’s in it. It’s why you have to be added my email <3 https://www.facebook.com/groups/fibrobuddiesvv/
I’ve heard some people can use just pure emu oil as a lubricant but that dosn’t really work for us. I did try it for a year!
The one I am currently using that works AWESOME and better than premarin even, is Replens, water based, and really helps with pain.
