    Vulvodynia story on America Now (CBS)!!

    Just watched a story about vulvodynia on a late night news show on CBS!! There was a couple on there that have made it their goal to educate many about this painful condition. They admit that they were virgins when they married and could not have sex for a long time. There was also a Dr that has dedicated her practice to painful sex conditions. I wish I would have caught more of the story, I was listening while surfing the net and missed a lot of it. One more mention out there, seems that our conditions are more in the spotlight each day!!

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
      where there is hatred, let me sow love;
      when there is injury, pardon;
      where there is doubt, faith;
      where there is despair, hope;
      where there is darkness, light;
      and where there is sadness, joy.
      Grant that I may not so much seek
      to be consoled as to console;
      to be understood, as to understand,
      to be loved as to love;
      for it is in giving that we receive,
      it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
      and it is in dying [to ourselves] that we are born to eternal life.
