Holy shit major pelvic floor breakthrough

I have vaginal atrophy from T, but before starting T I had some significant pelvic floor issues. The things (besides medication) that you might do to help with vaginal atrophy or temporary symptoms are things I was already doing to treat my pelvic floor dysfunction so that worked out.

When it comes to medications though, I cannot take topical vaginal estrogen. My doctor who prescribed my T and my gyno both suggested this thing called a vaginal moisturizer (the specific brand Replens). For a long time (like years, almost two years to be exact) I just didn't because I didn't think something OTC would actually be helpful. But I finally started it a few months ago after trying the replens vaginal moisturizing lube and really liking it and this whole time not really noticing any difference BUT TODAY I was able to marathon masturbate for 3 hours, orgasm multiple times, AND DIDN'T HAVE CRAMPS AFTER ORGASMING

If YOU have vaginal atrophy and can't or don't want to use topical estrogen, GET A VAGINAL MOISTURIZER

CHANGE YOUR LIFE

truly am worried i might have a ruptured appendix/ovarian cyst like this is the worst flare up i've had in months, it's in such a specific spot, and it hasn't abated even slightly in days i am concerned besties!!!

[dream-in-seoul]

Can I please cancel my random flare-up subscription? I thought this particular issue was getting better and then I wake up and it's 0-100? It's like forgetting to cancel some stupid trial and getting charged. I would like a refund please

I am so tired I just want to cry

Thinking of getting myself a mobility walker bc becoming Quasimodo around the house or work is not my kind of fun on days like these.

This new medication is amazing. For the first time in ??? Years it doesn't hurt so much I wanna die

Today’s the day I finally get treatment that might actually reduce (or eliminate!!) my chronic pelvic pain!

The tailbone is physically warped in a not fixable way, so they’re instead going to do a nerve block to make that specific pain signal shut up.

which means using fancy imaging tech to guide a needle through that part of the tailbone,

and they’re not going to be putting me to sleep for it… just doing a local painkiller.

I have a long history of not actually being numbed by local painkiller,

so I am

Okay so I’ve been basically coping without any form of medical pain relief (other than heat packs, ice packs, TENS, and rest) since the beginning of December.

It’s really getting to me.

I’m willing to start stuff up again but I’m starting a new medical treatment program soon, and I’m starting with a cleanish slate so I guess I’ll just have to wait.

😭😭😭

My pelvis and body are seriously paining me so fucking bad.

i got new and much much better dilators!!!! i’ve actually been progressing really well with them. the man i’m seeing has agreed to help me with them which is a huge deal for me, which means we’re gonna try and physically prepare me for vaginally penetrative sex. i’m very excited i found someone patient and understanding enough to help me with this and not just pressure me to have penetrative sex right away. i will definitely try to update with more progress.

Some days your vagina turns evil and you need to bust out your pain specialist’s signature cocktail of lidocaine-estrogen-lube to make it shut up at the source and god damn whoever made this was a genius I am in such relief.

chronic pelvic pain culture is never knowing when you need to pee because you expect to feel pain or discomfort around you bladder most of the time

Having pelvic dysfunction is generally terrible, but it is super hot that I can be doing my pelvic floor stretches and get to say 'i have to put stuff in my pussy, doctors orders'

Disabled. Disability. Feels like such a weakness, a weak excuse. But apparently I have to come to terms with the fact that I have a fucking disability. Because I am, in fact, disabled from this pain. I am, in fact, debilitated to do normal things and live a normal life. I am, in fact, unable to do as others can. And while hospital is a thing of the past now (touch fucking wood to not jinx that), it is still something I may fall back if I take a turn for the worst. Fml. Disabled. Makes me feel weak. It took nearly six years to get my head around not feeling weak from having chronic pain. Now I have to come to terms that I have a fucking disability. Fuck. My. Life.

when you are crying to a doctor because you're in so much pain you don't want to carry on living and they say they don't know what they can do, healthcare is broken

i wake up in the morning and I look outside

I take a deep breath and I get real high

I scream from the top of my lungs

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

Saying "My Chronic Illness is Flaring":

People ask invasive questions

Invites misguided wishes of "get well soon"

Sometimes people just tell you to try harder

Saying "Today, My Body Chose Violence":

Sounds way cooler

Might make people too wary to ask questions

Very literal explanation of what's happening
