Maybe they just managed to get 17 women in the study with both vv/vvs and fibro. I have never noticed that I have a lower threshold of pain, except for one area. From what I can tell, my tolerance for broken bones, headaches, vulvar pain, ovarian pain, etc.... is quite high - I don't have to usually take pain medication - if I do take it, it's usually Motrin to keep inflammation down. But when it comes to my mouth, though I require two or three times as much novacaine as most people. My dentist has always said I have twice as many nerves in that area. I assume I may have the same situation with my vestibule. Debbie Tiger Quote
