Any ladies out there dealing with vestibulitis or any form of vulvodynia?  I was diagnosed with vulvar vestibulitis (pain upon penetration/redness/inflammation with no known infectious cause) about a year ago and it has been an emotional rollercoaster since.  It is hard having this condition and having doctors tell you either 1) there is nothing wrong with you, it is all in your head or 2) there is no known cause, therefore no 'cure'..all you can do is treat the symptoms


It's hard to find support for this condition, since most people don't even know what it is.  I was just hoping to hear some other women's experiences.

Hi Em and welcome to the board.


I can only imagine the emotional impact of your vulvodynia.
