tonight on Private Practice

[Guest guest]

I'm so excited! I don't know if any of you watch the " Grey's Anatomy "

spin-off show on ABC called " Private Practice. " (And sorry if this

has already been posted... I get daily digest). Well, the doctor on

the show is a gynocologist, . One of her patients tonight on

the show has Vulvar Vestibulitis. She had been trying to figure out

why this chick couldn't have sex and she found out she had VVS and

something else (I forget, maybe she said vulvadynia.. couldn't hear

cause i wasn't paying attention at first). Anyway, she explained what

it was (the nerve endings, etc) and said she was going to give shots

of lidocaine and such. i was hoping that they wouldn't say this was

the cure, and they didn't. when the woman asked if she was going to be

cured, doc didn't answer her.

it's probably dumb, but i'm actually happy that someone addressed this

(even if only momentarily) on a primetime tv show. it's such a rare

disorder (and probably why it was shown)... but maybe it'll help

someone who has VVS and hasn't been diagnosed to figure out what she has.
