Hey Tamra,
What are wellsphere points and what is a WellPrize? Thanks!
Amy, I think that's a great idea! I have had a few emails in the past, so I will work on collecting them and asking permission to re-post them!
All the best,
Tamra
Tamra,
Would you be willing to share any stories you have received from other women who have had success with their experience with vulvodynia? That is if you have had any.
Thanks!
Hi Tamra, I just found your blog. It's a wonderful thing you are doing, to be so blunt and out there. I was diagnosed just last fall. No one understands except others that have the same thing. I wonder if you have tried the Low Oxalate diet? It's worked wonders for me. Check out the Vulvadynia Foundation web site.
I'd like to sign off by saying... Vagina
I was diagnosed ten years ago. I have tried many things and have found Singulair and Bonine to be very helpful. Singulair is by Rx and Bonine is over the counter (motion sickness medication). It helps to take the edge off. Starte pelvic floor PT a few months ago which has helped a lot.
Does anyone have suggestions for sitting for a long time? I've tried doughnut pillows and icepacks...any ideas !
Hey Tamra,
Just wanted to see how you are feeling. I hope all is well with you.
:)

Tamra - Well first off...
CONGRATULATIONS TO A JOB WELL DONE ON MTV TRUE LIFE!!! <applause>
I can't even imagine how difficult and freeing it must have been to share your story. I am actually a physical therapist in CT who started treating Women's Health this past January. I recently graduated in 2008 from PT school (so let me know if you need pointers!). Again, great job on the documentary and best of luck with your future!
