olp, ls, lp, & prolapse,

Hello

I am 26 yrs old. I have recently been diagnosed with oral Lichen PLanus (OLP).

I went to many GPs and even a gyno complaining of dry mouth, metallic taste, bad breath and white mucous on tongue. They ofcourse failed to suggest it couldve been that until i became so paranoid that i started to do lots of research and demanded that i do more tests to findout if it was L.P. So knowing that it has been diagnosed is of some relief and also scarry at the same time. At 26 it is unusual for me to have all of these conditions;

-Suspected prolapse..i have never had children and hopefully not menopausal instead I am fit and slim but probbaly have it due to my bowel problems

-OLP-(diagnosed after biopsy taken)lots of white striae in my mouth and more white ulcers forming on my tongue and inner cheeks-it is impossible for me to keep cutting htese out and i dont like the use of steroid creams at 26 they will do more damage than good and i will have this condition for the rest of my life so it is clearly not an option.

-suspected Lichen PLanus-chronic breakout last year when i was living in japan-didnt know what it was-put it down to stress at the time and/or allergic reaction-the doctor didnt know what it was and neither did I before i staretd doing research. After i started seeing agyno for recurring thrush i brought it upo and told him about L.P. He said he didnt know what that was but knew of Lichen sclerosis which is the vulva condition. There is OLP (in the mouth), L.S -vula, L.P-body/skin and also in the esophagus but the name escapes me now. I believe i have all of them.

I posted a note at this forum many months ago when i wasnt sure what it was.

I devloped sever itching and white striae around my clitoris and vulva a few months back-the gyno didnt seem to think it was L.S even though the symptoms were very much like L.S-he just gave me a topical cream and that was that-unfortunately i took it for many months which prob just made things worse.

Someone mentioned mercury and after doing some research i have discovered that there is a pretty strong link bewteen OLP and Mercury poisoning - i have taken a urine and blood test for htis but someone advised that i need to take a hair sample to test for mercury poising accurately...whatever it is i feel like my brain has been affected too as I now feel like i have a learning disorder or something. My memory is shocking and i am always cloudy-i cant think have zero concentration span and struggle if i have to absorb information-it all seems so complicated so im not ruling out mercury poisiong at this stage as i think it is likely-it is quite delitating once it really seaps into your body..slowly destroying your entire system-only ive never had silver fillings-only white ones which i have swallowed more than 2 times so very possible.

Anyway, then there is the prolapse-makes it very difficult to insert tampons.

I left Japan to return home so that I could get on top of this-i am on this very restrictive diet and am now underweight-a nutritionist isnt happy that naturopaths have asked me to omit dairy, yeast, wheat, gluten, fruit, ALL sugars (because of fructose melabsorption) and vegies like potaotes amd carrots. It doesnt leave too much really. If i exercise i will surely end up severley underweight and with an already compromised immune system i think it could be a dangerous thing.

The yeast infection is very hard to fight-i dont know what to stick to with it-does the tampon dipped in yogurt really work??? my GP recommeded it but said to add cortizone and something else which i didnt like the sound of. I hate chemicals-they probbaly started most of it and every time i stress -even if its just a little i break out into lesions-im sensitive emotionally and physically (so it seems).

If anyone can give me some advice i would really appreciate it. Also i have very itchy ears -you can get L.P in the ears too-im sure i have it there.

what should i do?? who should i seek help from??

tired and feeling abnormal
