My psychiatrist has been with me since my TBI when anxiety was crippling, and luckily he'll know about vulvodynia and will prescribe me the amitrypline that I need during this current time.

The pain is immense, mostly when I sit, and as far as the doctor says, it looks normal, but things aren't normal as he says or else I wouldn't be in his office. He prescribed me a steroid cream for the meantime and removed my IUD to prevent further complications.

He gave me an understanding of what vulvodynia was, as well as treatment plan and that this pain is normal due to faulty pain signals.

I am now convinced that I will heal now, and I need to take one day at a time, even if it kills me.
