>I'm sorry that I've not been posting so much but things have been a little crazy, and all of it has to do with either my grandma or my vulvodynia. I've been sleeping a lot during the day so that I don't have to do sitz baths for the pain. The reason that I don't like to do the sitz baths is b/c of the fact that it's such an inconvience now that I'm taking care of my grandma during the day. The one problem that I have with this pain that if I get up at night (and I need to be up at night b/c m grandma wanders) and stay seated too long in one sitting without having the area numb then it hurts a lot.

The stress of the situation has really gotten to me, and so I've been doing a lot of talking to my ob about how much this has bothered me and she has been such a big help to me. Hopefully we can get this thing with my grandma taken care of real soon.
