Welcome to the Whole Woman Village Forum!

When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.

So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”

From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.

Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

Body:

I'm not sure if this is in the right place. I suffer from Interstitial Cystitis. I have been bed ridden mostly for the last two years and a half years (apart from a five month remission). Haven't had sex in all this time. I have recently developed burning in my vagina and just outside, as a response to the urine which burns and a feeling of fullness. It is not sure whether this is IC or Vulvodyna or something else. When I try to bear down when I open my bowel, it feels like everything is falling out. I went to the GP and she said I have weakness in both the sides of the vagina wall. She didn't say rectocele or cystocele, but I think that is what she meant. She just told me to do kegels but I insisted on being referred for physio. I have been doing Amy Steins exercises (hadn't found this site yet) and some of the burning has gone down. However it is my period and I was a little constipated yesterday. I looked in the mirror and when I bear down it is worse than ever. (I discovered this problem during my period last month) is it worse at this time?

I can't take supplements as they hurt my bladder. I have anaemia too (ferritin 2) . The IC is bad enough but to be honest I feel I can't take anymore and the thought of new pain is too much. I am petrified I am doing the wrong exercises too, though I thought Amy Stein ok as she does no tightening stuff. I live in England so not sure if your dvd's will work here. Am i destined for it to decline? I feel no hope and suicidal, as I have been in pain for two and a half years.

ps. I am 43, is this a normal part of life, is everyone 'sagging' down there? Am I worrying unnecessarily? I can't sleep for worry.
