IC & PELVIC PAIN (vulvodynia)

[Guest guest]

Hi all, thought this might be of interest to some. A discussion and in reference to a new book out called ' A Headache in the Pelvis' referring to Interstitial cystitis, it also mentions vulvodynia.

Just a tiny clip. >

<''Women can have vaginal/vulvar pain, rectal pain, suprapubic, sitting and clitoral pain. Pain may be higher during the menstrual cycle and during stress. In both men and women, pain can be intermittent or constant. Once again, most of the men have a lot of complaints with long term sitting whereas many women will report pain after (or during) sexual intercourse''>

HI Tom,

I couldn't have put it any better!!! It's so true !! It sure is frustrating, as though they were the bright ones who made the discovery when we've known it for years, so I know just what you mean!!!!! I've seen more of my 'stuff' out there with almost my exact words I'd swear I wrote it. *sigh* I'm sure it's the same with you, no doubt about it. So loopy on that Long Island Ice tea or not, *chuckle* you said it right.

I think I need one too, haha Cheers!

Dee, A very symplistic review of what we have been saying on this site for a few years. It is amazing how others take credit for things like they were the explorers who discovered the new world...only to find that the "natives" have know about this and been finding the cures without them for years. How did we ever survive... Sorry so sarcastic..I had a Long Island Ice Tea for dinner....OK, two of em. TKOPT
