Oh, this one is SUPER fun.
Your TMI warning is now.
In short, I have painful flaps. My vulva is ultra, aggressively sensitive. The Karen of the vaginal kingdom. The nerves are incredibly turned on and not in a good way. It doesn't take much to upset them. I can adjust my sitting position and be zapped with 1.21 gigawatts up the tube.
The area gets very tender, and not in a loving, Elvis way. It can feel like having knickers full of ice picks going to town down there. Yay..?
What's more fun? No one knows what causes it and there's NO CURE.
My Amitriptyline prescription is supposed to help with the symptoms and I think it does help but sometimes there's just no taming the beast. Once it's in full flare it's like one of those Dilophosaurus in Jurassic Park. Aggressive, hostile and all up in my business.
Creams with lovely sounding names like Vagisil can also sometimes help to calm the nerves down when they're at their most vexing.
At least I don't get any period drama. Badum-tish.
In my next post I will be talking about painsomnia!
Good Lord! Poor you, that sounds terrible 😣
