Stress and Disease

[Guest guest]

This type of stress for me is more of an anxiety. If anything

out of the ordinary happens, my general pain flairs. My husband knows that the

first rule in the house is not to get me upset, and he does everything he can

to prevent this. Of course things happen, like my cat getting sick last week,

and I was worried until I got him to the vet. My pain was much worse during

this time, but it was unpreventable. I don’t believe this type of anxiety can

cause vulvar problems, but it can make pain worse when you already have it.

My Vulvodynia does get worse when I'm under a lot of stress.

Last year, when I was working and going to school at night,

it flared up during exams. It was HORRIBLE.

I do believe there is a connection between stress and V.

Hi Chelle,

We all have to figure it out for ourselves of course

but I can't believe that stress causes anything to do

with vulvodynia.

I also believe that people sometimes think they are

suffering from stress when they actually have anxiety

which is very different. Anxiety is a built in disease

I believe. I suspect they both feel the same however.

Sometimes one can find the cause of anxiety _(the

physical cause).
