Yesterday I was able to have intercourse 2 weeks post procedure and I am so excited and happy! I am so close to getting my sex life back to the way it was before vulvodynia and vaginismsus (secondary) took over my intimacy, sex life, and self-esteem two and a half years ago. I was having a lot of success with dilation yesterday so I thought it would be a great time to try things out and to my surprise it was great! I am so happy to be regaining this part of my life, I am getting my self- esteem and libido back! My husband is pretty psyched too! He has been so great and so supportive the past 2 years, I couldn’t have gone through all of this without him. Things still aren’t perfect but they are heading in the right direction. Prior to starting acupuncture and seeing Dr. Pacik for the botox procedure, I was basically running out of options for treatment because I tried almost everything else under the sun and I was losing hope that I would be able to overcome this. I am still in shock that things went so well yesterday. I have to keep stopping myself from thinking negatively, like….maybe it won’t work next time, maybe the pain will come back…..these v-problems just mess with your mind so much, it is hard to overcome all the negative things your mind is trying to tell you. So I am taking it one day at a time and keeping the positive thoughts. Please don’t give up trying to find a solution to your v-problems, there is hope and you can do it! You deserve it!
