Thank you for sharing such detail about your story so openly. Your descriptions of pain made me cringe remembering just how bad it was. I am relieved to see things are getting so much better for you.
There are so many of us out there, I hope more people will have the courage to open up and share to gain more knowledge about these secret conditions.
Thankfully, I also had an incredibly supportive boyfriend through my time with vulvodynia. I completely agree-- it affects both partners dramatically. But I will also say that I didn't appreciate people saying "your poor boyfriend" when I would dislose my inability to have sex because of my pain. What about us-- the direct sufferers? I felt like some people were too disconnected to understand.
