Re: I can't believe it!

[Guest guest]

Sara,

I know what you're talking about. After seeing a gynecologist who didn't have a

clue about what I had, he finally gave up and sent me to the Lansing, MI pain

clinic. They didn't have a f... clue either. I went

through epidurals (3 in 3 weeks, great when you're working), and a stupid

psychologist who measured how relaxed I was by putting sensors on my shoulders.

So I went through all this (of course talking to the nurse

for 30 minutes, and to the doctor for 30 seconds) to have them tell me that

maybe I should exercise, and that'll make everything better!

Luckily, it seems I am finally on the right track now (have VVS, moved from

Michigan to Virginia, see Dr. Marinoff in DC, and Dr. Glazer in NY). Crossing my

fingers that I will finally be able to have sex for the

first time in months, if not a year.

Hang in there,

nne

PS: by the way, it really helps to get your frustration out, so don't think

twice about emailing the list!
