vulvodynia

Hey all, I’ve been suffering from chronic vulval itching for over 2 years, and I’m really at the end of my rope. I’ve been making learning about TMS and trying to apply the theory/exercises my second full time job, but I really need some evidence that it can get better for my symptom. I’ve...

Hello, I have been reading threads, and decided to join and post. I have a history of tight pelvic floor when I get in high stress situations for long periods of time. But in March I went to get a PAP, and a couple days after I started feeling irritation that could feel itchy on my vulva. I...

Hello everyone! I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this but I wanted to share some things I have discovered along the way of my own pelvic pain healing journey. Now, I want to preface this by saying I do not personally have LS and I am also not a doctor, I am simply a curious bee...

So, for the past year I have had on and off vulvar itching. It feels like needle pricks (like if you’ve ever gotten bitten by a bug or fleas or something) and general tickling/bugs crawling. I notice that if I am doing something that takes my mind off of it, I don’t have itching but if I am...

I have been feeling a lot better recently when it comes to the original symptoms that brought me here, mainly frequent urination, sciatica, and clitoral pain/discomfort. However, this last week I’ve been experiencing symptoms that I haven’t experienced since my symptoms first flared, which...

Hello everyone! I’m new here but not new to the concept of TMS/MBS! I discovered TMS about three months ago and have been implementing the things I’ve learned since that point. However I am struggling with doubt still and thought I’d ask for your thoughts if that’s okay! I’m sorry for how...

Hi everyone, I haven't posted in a while. I'm still struggling with vulvodynia after having had a lot of success with TMS-work for back pain/sciatica/fibromyalgia-type pain. I'm watching Dan Buglio's videos as his approach resonates a lot with me and I definitely recognize why I'm still not...

Hi everyone! My name is Maryanne. I recently learned about TMS after downloading the curable app and a lightbulb went off for me. I don't want to self-disgnose and am fortunate enough to live in the Midwest, so I made an appointment with Dr. John Stracks for next month to see if I should try a...

Hello everyone, I have been on the site for a while mainly observing, and I thought I would share my story. I am 24 years old and have been battling vulvodynia for around 8 months. My symptoms started after I suffered a bad bacterial infection, which cleared up quite quickly but pain lingered...

Hi, i was wondering if anyone has any experience of vulvodynia and senstivity to products designed for the vulval area and tms? Im pretty certain tms is a massive part of the pain as i fit a lot of the indicaters. The only problem is that if it is tms then why do most ( but not all) products...

My Pelvic Pain Success Story I am a 25 year old female, and back in February 2018, I had a relapse of pelvic pain that hadn’t surfaced in YEARS. To put it mildly, I was beyond devastated. The pain came on so suddenly, and intensely, that I was a complete mess. I had had loads of doctor’s...

Hi, I read Sarno's books + the great pain deception, reading a lot on the forum and listen to Nicole Sachs's podcasts. Still I sometimes think there i something physically wrong with me. My upper back, shoulders, neck are always feeling thight. It gives me chronic tension headaches, TMJ and...

Hello everyone! I am a 22 year old girl that recovered from a bad case of vuvlodynia/levator ani syndrome back in 2015. I was a sophomore in college at the time, and took a large bout of antibiotics that made me VERY ill. I developed weird rashes all over my body, VV, ovarian cysts... and was...

One morning, I woke up, stepped out of bed, and keeled over from agonizing pain. I was no stranger to pain, as I’d had searing pelvic pain from Interstitial Cystitis for years. This, however, was a different searing pelvic pain. I picked up the phone and called 911. Pain is a powerful...

In this link Dr Schubiner is interviewed by Abigail Steidley about pelvic pain & he gives very good reasons & evidence as to why he thinks this is most definitely a mindbody syndrome. He answers questions many of us have about IC, vulvodynia, PN etc. such as How do we know that the pain is MBS...

Hi everyone, I am new to TMS and new to this forum. The symptoms I am experiencing are pelvic pain/vulvodynia. This started after a vaginal infection that was misdiagnosed for 8 long months. I was originally told I had an autoimmune disease but I had no visual symptoms. During those months the...

Hello. I've been aware of TMS and trying to incorporate it into my life for about a year now, but am having trouble making any gains from it. I read Dr. Sarno's Mindbody Prescription and was hoping like some people my pain would go away just from reading it (which it didn't). By doctors, I've...

Hi folks, Periodically, we get questions about pelvic pain here on the forum, and I often refer people to Abigail Steidley since she had it herself and recovered using books by Dr. Sarno and Schubiner. I'm on her mailing list and it looks like there is a teleseminar hosted by one of her...

My biggest obstacle is looking for someone with my exact same symptoms of vulvar/rectal pain that successfully healed with mind/body work. I logically understand that is not helpful or maybe even possible since there are many, many symptoms associated with mind/body syndrome. It's like looking...
