Newbie here - with a good news story ( which is why I joined).

Hi all - I have just joined up as I thought I might be able to lend support to people with V.V. My story is very long and i will put it in the my story section but I have primary VV which was not diagnosed with until I was 26 after suffering since I was at least 2 years of age. I am now 35 and so pleased to see what support there out there now!! No-one had even heard of it when I was seeking help - then when I did get diagnosed still no-one had heard of it ( nothing like explaining to a Dr what your condition is)...and now 10 years on there are VV support forums like this!!! Mine is largely controlled now thanks to biofeedback treatment which worked really well for me - with much dedication on my part. After having it all my life - and being treated so much for thrush i am now allergic to thrush treatments- you can imagine it took a lot of work to improve it. After having my two children it has improved even more. Although still very much a part of my life as it always will be. Anyway - hi all and look forward to sharing experiences. My story will be coming soon...

Excellent, I look forward to reading your story and thanks for sharing good news with us.

Welcome to the forum and thanks for giving us hope I to am doing biofeedback and yes it helps x

Hi Ozgirl.

Where abouts in Aus are you? did you see Marek for this? I have had improvment, especially after intesive treatment, sex is much better. I just get burning afterwards now not much during at all.

Daily pain still remains though. Any tips?

Thanks,

Claire

Just wondering what your story was with having children? Did you give birth naturally or Cesarian section? I am terrified of both options.

I have spoken with Ozgirl, it was natural births.
