Members opened up about experiencing vaginal pain and discomfort related to fibromyalgia, with many discovering connections they hadn't previously understood, including conditions like vulvodynia and pelvic floor muscle spasms. Several members shared practical relief strategies that worked for them, including pelvic floor physical therapy (sometimes with a therawand tool), warm Epsom salt baths, hydrocortisone cream, muscle relaxants like hyoscyamine, extra Gabapentin for nerve pain, heating pads, and consulting with gynecologists to rule out other causes. A recurring theme was the relief of realizing they weren't alone in these struggles, the importance of not giving up on intimacy and quality of life, and the encouragement that with proper treatment many found significant improvement or even the best intimate experiences of their lives.

Endometriosis is just uterine tissue growing in your abdominal cavity I think. Anyway it was a good excuse to get rid of my troublesome lady parts Yea It really helped me

I hope u can enjoy it fully again. It took seeing several doctors before my regular gyn decided to send me to a pelvic floor specialist and he figured out just by pressing on the inside that my muscles were too tight. You know what my whole body is very tight. So no surprise. I'm now having the best sex of my life!

Hi yall
Its called vuvlodynia. I think I posted a section on it in the Q&A section. Look up vuvlodynia and fibro and you'll get some info. I get it sometimes, bad, lasting for hours. Some things that help... Epsom and baking soda warm bath, hydrocortisone cream, extra dose of Gabapentin (because it's partly because of nerve pain), Advil (inflamed hoo hoo), and/or a valium/zanax...
Hugs.

I would check with your MD or gyno, soon Could be a sign of other things that would need attention. So rule them out first.
