I was already in a bad mood at the gynecologist because frankly, I have enough vagina issues to handle right now. The over-peppy receptionist and nurse almost set me over the edge. I had a new gynecologist since I was rushed in, so she knew nothing about me. Not really in the mood to give her my whole history, I just told her what I had and could she please use the smallest size and be careful? She replied by asking what they put me on for vvs. I just looked at her blankly. Does she really think there's a magic pill out there that we can all take? Great- why don't you just prescribe me that now and I can stop wasting my time at all these different specialists. She was so oblivious to everything, so I just told her I've gone through a lot of different things and left it at that. It's so frustrating when gynecologists aren't even informed. I was pretty upset after she left the room and needed a couple of minutes to pull myself together.
It looks like I have a bacterial infection. Joy. I'm on two medications for the next week and a half and should be better by then. This is highly inconvenient because I can't have surgery while I'm on antibiodics, so I'll have to push back my toe surgery. I also can't have alcohol, and boy would I like a drink right now.
I'm just so sick of it. A whole day spent running around to doctors. And more pain for me to put up with. I'm just going to play the life's not fair card tonight and then take it on tomorrow.

I want a drink too - I'm still fighting the two vaginal infections. God these things are stubborn... what kind of BV resists flagyl? What kind of yeast resists terconazole? This isn't just frustrating, it's scary.
I stumbled upon your blog as I was googling vestibulitis. I've just finished reading the entire thing. I, too, suffer from vestibulitis and pelvic floor myalgia, however, not to the extent that you've been battling. I know you did vulvar injections, but has anyone mentioned steroid injections into your pelvic floor? This is what my doctor recommended to calm the pelvic floor muscles, which were always tightened, even at rest; they would spike off the charts during biofeedback therapy. Anyway, I also had one side that was worse than the other. After three injections on each side, my pain completely went away and I was able to have sex again without pain—it had been two years. I also found that the pain associated with the vestibulitis subsided and now I only have a minor flair every once in a while. I have also found that multivitamins seem to make my problem worse.
I just wanted to share my experience in the hopes that there's something there that you haven't tried. Good luck and thanks for writing the blog. While I wish no one had to suffer with this, it's nice to know that there are others out there.
Hello and thank you for comment.
I am extremely interested in learning about your symptoms and the steroid injections into the pelvic floor. From what I gather, our cases sound similar and perhaps this is something I should be looking into. Can you please send me an email when you get a chance and we can talk?
