is an involuntary spasm of the vaginal muscles, making intercourse (or a pelvic exam) painful or, in my case, impossible.
It's supposedly not as rare as I thought, though the places I've scheduled my appointments to treat it have all had to ask me to repeat the name as though they'd never heard of it before.
This is so frustrating.
I'm seeing my therapist this week. I know she'll be supportive and encouraging of the steps I've taken thus far, but I just really wish the Valium had worked. I had it all set in my mind. I was going to be so "out of it" that I wouldn't care at all what was happening in my nether regions. Heck, maybe Josh and I could go home that very same night and make love for the first time. I was all set to ask the doctor about the possibility of going on the pill. So much for that idea.
I am willing myself to remain positive and remember that at least I am doing something about it. Finally.
More later.

hi! thanks for your comment on my site. i had the same frustration with 'what is it called' and 'how do you spell that?' it makes you feel like you are the only one out there... but you definitely aren't - and there is definitely hope.
