Coconut Oil Oh Yea!!!

I am extremely careful about what I put on my vulva. I see all these crazy creams and I get really nervous. Don't get me wrong,  I understand that some women are looking for the "WoW" factor-a real rush. I would recommend trying the cream on another part of you body before you put it south of the border. The inside of your forearm will do. If the cream is "edible" you can try it on the inside of your cheek since the tissue there is much like your vulva. But I have a better option. A secret that I am only too "excited" to share with you.....

Organic Coconut Oil!-It is all natural, edible, anti-fungal. It's good for your hair, your stir-fry and any place on your body where there is dry skin. And it is economical. It is a great lubricant without any side effects*. You can bake with it too. It isn't greasy at all and smells like coconut, which is quite pleasant.

So before you run to the drugstore to get one of those fancy tickle-your-fancy lotions, give coconut oil a try. It is found in the organic section of most supermarkets and in health food stores.  I am pretty sure you will be satisfied.

New Year New Hope

It's been a little over 3 years since I started to heal myself. The journey has been an interesting one to say the least. Today I feel I can say I am 100% healed. I do not suffer from Vulvodynia anymore. I want to share something I have learned about the mind/body connection.

Today, I can turn off the switch that would start the Vulvodynia. I have figured it out. Here's an analogy: Have you ever walked into a darkened bathroom that your not too familiar with and carelessly flopped around for the light switch. You have to urinate so badly so you keep reaching for the switch. Perhaps you reach to the right and fumble around a bit only to find that there is no switch. But you HAVE to go and there is no way you are walking away from that bathroom. Ah ha! You think to yourself. I haven't gone to the left. So you reach around to the left and after a moment or two find the switch. You are then able to relieve your bladder. Now it's two days later and you find yourself in the same situation but this time you know the switch in on the left and you go there this time right away. Maybe you fumble a little but you've got it down. Okay, It's a week later and again you are in a hurry to go urinate. You find the bathroom, turn to the switch and in no time flat you are in like Flynn. This is the way I made the connection between my body and mind. I can turn off the switch even before I feel any burning. I have found the light.

If you want to find your light, look left, look right but don't turn around and walk away. You will never heal if you don't keep looking for the switch. It's there. Have faith!
