Taking my Pain to twitter.

My name is Kaleigh Anderson and I have vulvar vestibulitis. One of the hardest things about having pelvic pain is the feeling “aloneness” that comes with it. Unfortunately, I know that there are plenty of girls and women who are exactly like me. The emotional and psychological stress that comes from the physical pain is something that I have come to understand very well. I have become very comfortable with talking about “uncomfortable” things in my life. I have been to dozens of doctors and have done dozens of treatments. I have not found relief from any of my pain but I will never give up hope. I am so proud of who I am as a person and how strong I have become.
I have never been shy to tell people about my vulvar vestibulitis because I know ultimately it is either something I can suffer with quietly or I can talk about it honestly and potentially help people. I am choosing to put aside my pride and talk about my genitals! My friends in high school were embarrassed to be talking about my vagina and my vulva so openly so they gave it the nickname “Dyno” because of vulvodynia. I have created a Twitter account under the name of KalesDynoLove. I plan to tweet about the day to day process of living a normal life with pelvic pain. I am trying to eliminate the feeling of “aloneness” in as many females as I possibly can. Just being able to hear about my pain, my feelings of inadequacy, my stories, my faith, my victories, my failures, my relationships, my appointments, my treatments, my support system, my attitude, my life is something I KNOW can help females like me to understand that they are not alone.
I am more than willing to talk about anything in an open setting to make others feel more comfortable but I do not want to be talking about my “Dyno” on a social networking site if no one is benefitting. That is why I am emailing you; I would appreciate anything you could possibly do to have people follow me on my Twitter account. Anyone who could potentially benefit or anyone who might know someone who could benefit, if I even help one person it will be worth it but I do not have many connections to people with pelvic pain. My goal is to help women and girls feel more comfortable and to bring awareness to taboo subject. I am not a professional and I am not going to be giving any medical advice. Please let me know if you have any recommendations of something I can do or if there is anything that you would be willing to do to help.
You can contact me at KalesAnderson14@gmail.com . I am also willing to answer any questions you might have for me. I was pretty general in my description of myself and I would be more than willing to answer any further questions you may have. Please help me start something and allow me to use my experiences in a positive way. Thank you so much for your time and your help.
