The V-words: vulvar Vestibulitis, Vestibulodynia, Vulvodynia

FINALLY. Finally a name.
The fourth doctor, a nice one. And a professional one.
And finally a name on the constant pain that has been mine for the past six weeks:
Vestibulitis (vestibu-what?).
He wrote it on a paper for me. I will have to look it up online.

But also bad news:
- no idea where it comes from, why it started.
- Hard to treat. Can take years, months if I'm lucky.
- and a few things are gonna change: Underwear made of cotton, analgesic cream to minimize the pain, a pill and a few other creams.

And patience. Extreme patience.
