She was holding me on her hip once when I was 2 or 3, and I yelled "Mommy, put me down, my vulva hurts!"<BR/><BR/>She thinks it's a funny story, but I think I had vulvodynia even as a 3-year-old! *sigh*AKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09875529299246865291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240355902210786734.post-56414606522539199152009-03-28T14:46:00.000-07:002009-03-28T14:46:00.000-07:00LOL.

I'd've loved to've seen the expression on their faces if you'd said, "actually, I got it because my period has been ridiculously painful and out of control lately, on top of which I have chronic pain in my vulva."

I started with "an injection," then "complications while giving blood," then "mauled by the Collegetown bear." Because EWW nobody wants to hear about birth control, then they'd have to think about sex and icky periods. <BR/><BR/>And of course, the people that I did tell took the opportunity to talk to me about how great it'll be for me not to think about condoms in the heat of the moment.
