Guest guest Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Hello! My name is Aimee. I have recently joined this list. I wanted to let all of you know a little about myself. I am a 23 year old graduate student in Michigan. I was diagnosed with Vulvodynia last year and have been suffering with painful intercourse for almost two years. My fiancee is very supportive and understanding, but I didn't know how it would feel to be able to talk to other women who suffer from the same thing. I just read quite a few messages and was overwhelmed with emotion. The level of support on this list is amazing. Thank you to all for making me see that I am not alone! I also wanted to let you know that I joined this list for another reason. I am currently working on my thesis for my Master's degree in Interpersonal Communication. My thesis is on the topic of how couples cope when the sexual norms have been changed due to infection or disorders such as vulvodynia, IC, VV, etc. Besides looking for a support network for my own disorder, I was also hoping to find women who would like to participate in my study, perhaps an interview or questionairre, the details have not been worked out. I will not be able to start this process until January or February, but would like to know if anyone would be interested in participating. I feel it is important for women to know how other couples have coped with this kind of situation. I assure you that your regular postings will not be used for my study. Those I will look to for support. However, I would appreciate a response to see if I will be able to find enough women to participate. Thank you again for your support. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Aimee D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
