Anyone going to VPS London workshop?

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone else is going to the VPS workshop in London on 10th December? I’ve never been to one before but my partner & I are booked to go and really looking forward to it. Would be cool to meet up if anyone is going to be there. I think my bf is looking forward to meeting other blokes who’s girlfriends are affected too as sometimes he feels just as alone as I do.

If anyone fancies it, noon at 2nd December is the deadline for booking. It’s £20, there’s various speakers and workshops, and lunch! There is further info including a timetable on the vulval pain society website under "meetings & workshops".

Hi there! Ive been before, very useful for vulvodynia. I have vestibulitis, wasnt as useful. still good to meet Dr Nunns though and other girls in this situation xxx

Hi Naomi, I'm glad you got something out of the workshop even though it wasn't particularly helpful for vestibulitis. Oooo David Nunns is nice isn't he, met him years ago at a Birmingham V meet!

Ahh, I had no idea about this. Where can you get the latest info about these upcoming type of things?

If you can make this one, you could try emailing them just on the offchance that they could still fit you in. It says they need to know numbers for catering, but I would have thought there'd be some flexibility?

I first heard about these big workshops from my consultant. The VPS seem to put them on at this time every year. The VPS workshop page is here - http://vulvalpainsociety.org/index.php?page=meetings-workshops but annoyingly they don't seem to have a mailing list you can sign up to so I just keep checking it all the time!

If you can't come, they do put up quite comprehensive notes after the event (you can read about all the talks at past events). In fact I heard about the lady I'm now having CBT with by reading the notes of last years' meeting.

That's great, thanks very much! I can't make this one, annoyingly, but I'll be sure to check up on the notes and keep my eye on the page for future events.

How does everyone seem to get appointments with these people? The only person I see (and have ever seen with any kind of consistency) is my GP. Other than that I've seen three gynaecologists over the whole of my time suffering! I've made a note of a few names from this forum and intend to take them to my GP and beg her to fix me up! Haha.

Oh I must have seen a billion clueless doctors before finally getting referred to my marvellous consultant (put more details in my reply to your other topic ) And that was only down to my local consultant admitting he was all out of ideas. Absolutely, insist on a referral to someone who has a clue. We all deserve the best advice & treatment possible xx

yeh dr nunns is hot although didnt really listen to me and i didnt really gel to him. easy on the eye though

def do go to the meet up on 10th...its worth it.
