It is an incredibly difficult thing to tackle, even with knowledge of treatments that work (i.e. vaginal exercises). I am glad you posted it because the stigma of "it's in your head" can make even the diagnosed doubt themselves. This is a very real problem that affects my partner.

I had been considering writing to you and asking if you would address this. When I developed Vestibulitis (not identical but similar in many ways) this past year I realized how little I knew and how little info was out there in a casual fashion - things that women who hadn't been diagnosed would have seen. Having always been a very sexual person there was a lot of disconnect in feeling pain during my favorite pastime, almost a sense of betrayal from my body, which took some time to get over. Luckily all I had to do was go off birth control and use a cream and everything is much better, thanks in part as well to my very patient boyfriend who was more than willing to help me think up other fun activities when I was taking time off from penetration. The amount of pain and permanence that exists for so many women is astonishing to me and it breaks my heart. I'm so glad the word is getting out. You are fabulous as always!
