Fibromyalgia & this condition

Hi Im new here, and came across this site while trying to find out the cause of my occasionaly flare ups of hell. You all know what I mean. After doing loads of research I now realise that its a direct symptom of my Fibromyagia. I had no idea that it could be linked and now it all makes sense.  I have had fibro for over 10 years but it has got really bad over the last three. I feel claustrophobic with pain. Of course no one believes me as they cant see it. But this vulva condition I have also come to realise started about the same time. Iv'e been to doctors and clinics convinced I had something terrible but they could find nothing, only redness and puffiness with raised small bumps that are not the type to pop. So weird. I get flare ups every so often that are agony, then after a week its all over. Its so sore, and I noticed I get a flare up when Im stressed. I was diagnosed with fibro over 3 years ago now and at last I now know what is causing my downstairs to hurt so much. I used to be embarassed about telling the doctor as I thought they might think its herpes or something, but that was thankfully not the case. I just say to my husband now, oh god f...y things coming, I can feel it. Im so glad I know why i get it now. Its only taken me 10 years to find out, and doctors didn't even suggest it. They just said oh its nothing. Hmm they should try coping with it.  Im 56 by the way, and into the menopause, which makes it worse than ever. What we women have to go through!

Have you ever tried EMDR? It helps the body react differently to pain. You can see a trauma therapist, or just put it into youtube for free. Also brain gym and EFT would have similar effects.
