Balancing Your Body

Balancing your body is the key to staying pain free. The body and mind is one and what we think manifests in our physical body. Vulvodynia effects the most intimate part of our body. When I was suffering I had a huge struggle with my most intamate relationship-my marriage. After 15 years, I guess I was bogged down. I was set in my ways. Every day seemed like that movie "Ground Hog's Day". Everyday was the same. I was left to deal with my 3 children, one who was not easy. I was running around causing friction where there didn't need to be any. Little things would get me angry. Since I don't feel comfortable being angry I would carry inside of me. I was ingesting my anger. That made me so hot. Not the good type of hot. I was on fire. So was my vagina. I am not suggesting that Vulvodynia is a made up issue of the mind. I really felt what I felt and I wasn't pretending. There was a real physiological explanation for my pain. But I had to learn how to deal with my anger. I had to let myself be angry and then put myself back together. I still struggle with anger. It is just the most unattractive emotions. I don't like seeing other people get angry, especially when it is directed in my direction. I literally feel like someone has kicked me in the gut. I have used several different methods to help manage my anger. I exercise, practice yoga, get massages and do weekly sauna. What do you do?

Welcome to my blog, My Burning Vagina. Here I will discuss how I healed my vulvodynia and candida naturally with minimal help from prescription drugs. I am so excited to also offer a free chapter of my new e-book "My Burning Vagina". Check back soon for this feature.

Today I want to discuss coffee or rather what I call "The hot sludge in a mug".

If you suffer from Vulvodynia chances are good that coffee is not your vulva's friend. In fact, it's like pouring acid on your vaginal lips. How does that sound? Not good. So as sad as this may be you need to re-evaluate you dependence on coffee. The only way coffee should be consumed in our body is when you want to do an enema. And I am not talking about drinking the coffee.

It took me months to comprehend that what I eat effects my body so quickly and dramatically. There is no denying it. Drugs didn't work. I was embarrassed to go to yet another bewildered doctor. This is when I started to listen to the signals my body was screaming to me. Listen closely and you will be amazed at what you hear.

Now I enjoy my life again. I can have enjoyable sex with my husband again. I can also eat some of the foods I had to temporarily give up. If you are serious about healing and resuming your life stay tuned for my e-book "My Burning Vagina". In the book, I provide exactly what I did to heal.
