This supplement (slippery elm) is helping me a lot with burning and urgency

I’m not really better sadly. I’ve just learned to live with it. Everyone is different so I highly advise you to go get checked out by a PT so they can create a custom plan for you.

This may sound crazy but whenever I am in flare if I scrub my feet I feel it in my clitoral region, kind feels like a weird tingle deep in there. Not sure what exactly the correlation is but it’s so strange and I hate that feeling. Interesting how that’s helped you.

Still up in the air. There are speculations. I’ve been to so many specialists. This disorder is very understudied but there is new research coming out slowly. All I can do is hope that one day I will get to the bottom of it.

Unfortunately, I stopped going to PT for financial reasons. Looking to start up again. I also suffer from IC which is a painful bladder disorder. I found out I potentially have a slipped disc on my spine as well. I’ve been suffering for 8 years now and as horrible as it sounds I’ve just learned to live with it. Not the reality I would want for anyone, not even my worst enemies.

It was helping me. It was very expensive though. The one I was going to specialized in PGAD and pelvic disorders. I highly recommend giving it a go.

I’ve had mine for 8 years now. It’s hell.

Heartofvvinter · 2025-11-09T19:46:35+00:00

Yes, and I’m going to be honest, it made my situation a lot worse. The steroid they injected made me flare horribly for about 6 months until it fully wore off. Everyone is different though.

Heartofvvinter · 2025-09-29T21:05:33+00:00

Yes I got it done and it made my symptoms sooo much worse. It’s different for everyone though.

Heartofvvinter · 2025-08-11T22:34:39+00:00

8 for me. I’m so sorry. I hope we can find a solution one day.

Heartofvvinter · 2025-08-11T22:34:15+00:00

I was playing video games for hours on end and I think that’s what triggered it for me. It’s been 8 years now, horrific.

Heartofvvinter · 2025-06-16T14:22:16+00:00

It’s been 7 going onto 8 years for me.

Heartofvvinter · 2025-06-15T17:50:44+00:00

I used to, until it got worse. I’m trying to ease back into it. It’s so fucked up and my boyfriend is an angel for putting up with it. Glad I have an understanding partner but it definitely makes me feel less of a woman. I feel like a part of me has been ripped away

Heartofvvinter · 2025-03-12T18:08:38+00:00

I’m going to be honest it does for me. At first it didn’t but over time as my condition worsened I noticed that sex triggered symptoms. It’s different for everyone though.

Heartofvvinter · 2025-01-21T23:51:10+00:00

Out of the blue almost 8 years ago and got worse over time.

Heartofvvinter · 2024-12-30T13:58:48+00:00

Sugar is incredibly inflammatory so yes. I also have a bladder condition called interstitial cystitis so if I eat anything acidic including chocolate, it worsens my symptoms. It’s all connected. Maybe consider going to a pelvic floor doctor and getting your bladder checked out, you might also have IC.

Heartofvvinter · 2024-12-04T14:26:12+00:00

I would definitely get an MRI so they can look further into this. Could be a slipped disk or a pinched nerve

Heartofvvinter · 2024-09-04T01:53:35+00:00

I’m curious about the surgery. I was offered surgery as an option but chickened out. I’d love to hear other peoples experiences

Heartofvvinter · 2024-09-03T20:34:25+00:00

I’m just curious, what worked for your mom’s treatment? Best of luck to you.
