Did nothing for me, but I only have pain on contact anyway.

I've had some success with Calcium citrate, but I understand that it's critical when during the day you take it. The tests to determine that are very expensive ($800+) and insurance definitely doesn't cover it. Still, I think it might actually be worth it on my really painful days...

I take about 3-4 pills of Calcium Citrate 100mg and as long as I keep taking them the symptomes completely go away.

I've taken Calicum Citrate since way before I started having vulvar burning, so it is hard for me to think it helps with that.
