Hi @healthybon, I'm sorry you're in such discomfort. Having widespread pain isn't easy in general let alone the addition of vaginal pain. Been there, doing that. Something to consider is Central Sensitization Syndrome (CSS) which is a chronic pain condition that can affect permanent changes in the central nervous system whereas the brain receives louder messages causing false signals almost like fight or flight. CSS is an umbrella syndrome to many conditions such as fibromyalgia and neuropathy, and can affect sensory, muscles, nerves, joints via hypersensitivity. See more on CSS here:

You mention having fibromyalgia and prior covid. Some people end up with hypersensitivity from long covid and I'm wondering if your newest vulvodynia isn't part of that. What do you think?

hi rwinny
i'm thinking also, maybe the vulvodynia is resulting from covid and/or the vacines. I guess i will never know.
I went to many doctors today about this, and also for the burning mouth issues I have. I am being tested for oral herpes and some other things. somehow, i think there is a connection between the mouth and vulva burning pain. i want to look more into the css and will watch what you sent me. it's all such a mystery.

Omg! Thank you for that link. It’s quite informative. I will check it out. Perhaps, that’s why I was prescribed an antidepressant. It would have been nice it it was explained to me.
