Guest guest Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Hi Everyone-- I have been a member of this group for about the last two years. Up until a few months ago I was posting regularly. I am by no means 100% better, but at this point I know WHAT the cause of my pain is (pelvic floor dysfunction, connective tissue restrictions, and multiple perpetuating factors including undertreated hypothyroidism, insulin resistance, Lyme, etc.) and my symptoms are much improved. I see the light at the end of the tunnel, and now that I know what I'm dealing with and am getting the proper treatment, I feel confident that I will be more or less well in the months to come. I really feel that all of the guessing and wondering what is causing these symptoms is just as bad as the pain itself, and it causes such immense anxiety which feeds the pain. It is a horrible, horrible thing to have this kind of pain and not have a clear explanation as to what is causing it. I was there for over a year and a half. With all of that said, I am now focusing my " group " energy on Happy Pelvis as it is more targeted to my needs. I also want to give myself permission, when possible, to not be dominated 24/7 by this condition. Every aspect of my life has suffered immensely because of this condition and I need to do some repairing. I am not going to leave the group totally, I am just going to stop getting the digests/emails. This group was my lifeline for a long time, and I will be forever grateful to those who helped me along the way (Dusty, Dee, , Hollis, Sandi, Chelle, Anne (who has disappeared from the board) etc). Please feel free to email me directly. I've been through a lot with this pelvic pain business including severe IBS-constipation, a chronic yeast infection (vaginal and intestinal), and my current/most recent symptoms of vv/vulvodynia (which are NOT due to yeast, but are in part a result of damage/trauma to the area caused by undiagnosed infection). My heart goes out to everyone who suffers from vulvar and pelvic pain. Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 , I am so happy for you! This is what it's all about, getting the help you need and being able to move forward without pain dictating your entire day! You're getting there! As for saying 'bye' - there are several of us that you'll have to put up with on HP for awhile longer. I wish you the best! Hugs, Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
