(Photo: hyperscholar)                 . I lived with vulvodynia for 10 years. You’ve probably never heard of it, even though it’s so common. Basically chronic vaginal pain, to put it mildly. I never had interstitial cystitis, but it’s chronic bladder pain. These two kinds of pain tend to run together. We found a strong association between the two, which independent studies published this year also confirm. Here’s what we found… . . Women at CureTogether who report vulvodynia are eight times more likely to report interstitial cystitis than women with no vulvodynia. This comes from a study of 724 women sharing data online for the past year. For details on this finding and how it matches up with other...

As you can see from the chart below, most of them are chronic conditions, and many affect more women than men.* To learn more about what these conditions are, read on below the chart. Vulvodynia saw a big surge in data around the release of the crowdsourced book, Vulvodynia Heroes, compiled by CureTogether with input from 190 women. This chart also only captures a representative portion of the data recorded by people with these conditions. So what are these conditions? While they are all common, some of them are not commonly known, so you may not have heard of them. Here’s a quick run-down: — Vulvodynia Affects: 16% of women at some point in their lives. That’s 48 million women in the US alone. What it...

I can’t help wondering if the whole vaccine / autism thing is an exercise in futility for both sides, a game of unwinnable tic-tac-toe, or if it is a game of chess, still in the opening phase with the middle-and end-games left to come.  And if it is a game that can be won, what exactly is it that the victors will win?
