helpful resource

I have suffered with this condition for over seven years now. Reading this book has offered insight into new treatment possibilites I haven't yet explored. It has also been a comfort to read about others who struggle with this pain on a daily basis as well.

Vulvodynia Bible

This book is so full of information and different things to try. There is no one cure all for all who are affected. This book gives you many things to try and the knowledge that at some point there will be relief from the pain.

The Vulvodynia Survival Guide

I am so happy this book has been written! I believe there are many women who suffer alone, unaware that their painful symptoms are not "all in their heads." This book is a step in the right direction towards public awareness, but especially towards helping these women feel validation in their cries for help. If you are a doctor, please read this book! Your patients deserve the best care you can give them, and this book may help you to understand what's going on. If you are a woman with vulvo/vaginal pain, this book will help you in your search for treatment, and if nothing else, will let you know you're not the only one!

Support Finally!

I love this book! It has helped me to cope with this pain. It is great to hear stories that relate so closely to mine. If anyone is suffering from this disease, you need to have this book!

Great information about vulvar pain

Excellent information about vulvar pain! I'd put it right up there with The V Book, and the National Vulvodynia Association. It's got a terrific resource section in the back and it also talks about potential causes and treatments for vulvodynia, along with giving medical references so that women's doctors can look up and learn more info about this little-known disease. Great book!
