Guest guest Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 I was given this book by from HINY many years ago. She and I were in agreement that this author doesn't really say much or do much for us. She is pretty damn angry but that is about all. If any of you want the book I would be happy to mail it to you. I have one copy. Please email me off list with your mailing details. First to respond gets the book. You can decide for yourself and then pass it on to the next. > > http://www.popmatters.com/books/reviews/c/camera-my-mother-gave- me.shtml > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 I did buy this book and read it and let my husband read it too. Yes, there were two things that frustrated me about this book... one, that she never really found a cause or cure for the vulvodynia. The other, that she somewhat implies that it could be partly psychological because she doesn't have pain when having sex with the new, younger, boyfriend but had pain having sex with her older boyfriend who was a little overly aggressive. I'm sure that was just her honest take on it at the time... I did find the stuff about how it affected her sex life, how ignorant some of the doctors were, and how many different treatments she tried very interesting. But, still.... ultimately it left me wanting a different ending.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 My question about this book is-did she get well? I would read it if there was some " hopefulness " to it. Otherwise-no, thanks! I am trying to live by the power of positive thinking as best I can and don't need to fill my head with negativity. xoxo, Lindsey > > > > http://www.popmatters.com/books/reviews/c/camera-my-mother-gave- > me.shtml > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
