women's health - female anatomy - questions for the ladies

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...

So I'm curious to know if the other ladies who deal with TMS see an increase in their symptoms (both mentally and physically) during premenstrual syndrome? I feel like the past 2 months when I've been PMSing my TMS is worse. It would make sense-PMS for me and a lot of women includes an...

I have a very long story like I am sure many of you do, for 10 years almost suffered with a very painful bladder disease called IC. I am now almost 36 years old (tomorrow). When I first got sick, I was VERY sick, I mean tons of pain in bladder, joint pain, food allergies, and many symptoms. I...

i have crazy lumpy and fibrous breast tissue. Doctor was so concerned I was sent for mammogram and ultrasound last year because the lumps in my breast were very large. They found that I had extra thick breast tissue. My breasts also hurt like crazy after ovulation, until my period. Well, since...

I've posted in the past about this but lately I'm just really struggling with staying on the TMS course. I first discovered TMS back in March while googling about my symptoms, urinary urgency. Just a brief description incase you haven't read my past threads. Back in December this began out of...

I had a vaginal yeast infection for about 2 months before I took Miconostat. It seemed to work to get rid of the yeast but I still have burning and irritation of the vulvular area and it's been about 3 weeks since I used Miconostat 3. The yeast is gone but the pain remains. Could this be...

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...

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...

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...

When I was at the beginning of my teen years, in the midst of a usual 'happy ever after' daydream (I live in a very vivid fantasy world), I was startled out o the daydream by a very sharp and clear message: I would never have children. It disrupted my story and I tried to brush it away. It...

Ouch my pain increases during my menstrual cycle, it always has. This month hit me very hard (today) after an almost pain free day yesterday! Not just back and leg pain but arms as well. It must be the hormones making the body more sensitive. Or maybe a conditioned response or both. I'm...

Has anyone heard of menstruation pain treated succesfully as TMS? Since I stopped the bc pill, my monthly cramps have been increasingly bad. And at the moment I'm in hardly any muscle pain, but the cramps are really horrible. I take a lot of painkillers, and then still it's terrible. I feel...
