Strange Sensation In Lady Parts

[Megyn]

Well what I meant is in having these sensations and they feel like I'm being hurt down there. But wha...

I reread and wanted to add one more thing. Only in the last 2 years have I felt "pleasurable" sensations. To me they are as horrifying as the unpleasant sensations, if not moreso. I know, intellectually, that my body reacted normally, but ... idk, I guess they do that shit to mess with your head, like if it felt so good I must have wanted it, or I liked it. Its so confusing, but explains 100% why I orgasmed only a small handful of times as an adult in committed relationships. In all my relationships I was always highly sexual prior to a committment, then once I "got them", I'd be cold, uninterested in sex and really feel nothing. It would then feel like I had to, like a responsibility or a chore.

Okay, enough of that... I guess I thought I'd share that; maybe you identify with some of it.. take care~

Let me help! Let me help! You may have PGAD. If you experience genital pain/arousal/sensations at times that you should not or seem to be induced by stress you may want to look at Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder and see if you feel like some of it applies to you and bring it up with your doctor. You don't need to think or feel like this has to be a part of your PTSD. I've had PGAD since college, I'm not always diagnosed with it. I manage the symptoms through awareness and controlling stress levels, but their are medications that can help with this as well.

I was sitting in my therapist office talking to her and I started shaking between my legs once.

Thank you for replying Helena. I have heard of that disorder. That's not really what it's like for me at all. I don't know. This is different, it's like a phantom pain. I don't know how to explain it. But I think having PGAD would be pretty horrible and I'm glad that it has eased up for you a bit. What did you do to help it?

I have had times where I feel like my clit is vibrating or my genitals are vibrating. that happened in therapy. It felt like a tingling sensation down there it was really scary.

Well, that's all alot like what PGAD was like for me at first. sort of. I had spontaneous orgasms, maybe felt sensations that weren't there, and my genitals would become aroused and cause physical pain. I learned to just ignore it so I wouldn't have to ...basically masturbate in public. And did I associate those feelings with sexual trauma for some time? Yes. And I learned to ignore that association. Then I came to find that increased stress levels could be a trigger. What I'm trying to help you with is just that. Recognizing triggers for your symptoms is the first part to eliminating them. That's why I don't even have to be diagnosed with PGAD anymore. But I was being a little silly before.

Now let's all have moment where we give thanks for a great pharmacist who fixes up your insurance information for you to have meds the second you get an RX number for him. :D

tgiclonazepam.

it's like a phantom pain

Yes! I dont know what PGAD is like but I know what this is like. Happens to me suddenly. Sometimes during a flashback or nightmare but not always. Its real pain with no real cause (in reality). And for me, ive not found a fix for it other than time.

I did get aroused a lot. Out of the blue, during therapy. But as I worked around my trauma, that has seemed to slow.

But a weird feeling down there during therapy isnt abnormal for a trauma survivor. Not at all.

I have the same body memories. pain like a knife is cutting the place. Burning. Or just plain pain. Sometimes it's emotional - like there is a scream or sadness going out from there.
It started after I started to see the abuser in my flashbacks.

I am not sure that I would run to find a T for a single experience but if it will happen again or other flashbacks will start then maybe it will be a good idea to find a T.

Im not sure if this has been mentioned in this thread yet but has anyone read the book "The Body Keeps The Score"? Dead Link Removed

Its talked a lot about on here and everyone talks very highly of it. Its about body memories. I havent bought it yet.

Yes. I have the book. It has been very informative to me. If you go find it on Kindle--they can send you a free sample. Usually 30-50 pages, so you can decide if you want to buy it.

 

[lostforgottensoul]

Thanks @katz, I dont have a kindle but I think amazon lets you look at it first? Either way, its not expensive and I have prime. So it wont be much to buy. Its worth the buy as ive heard so many people loving the book and no bad words about it.

If its mostly pain/ pressure and happens mostly close to your period, it could be varicose veins. I used to have alot of pain from them until recently and my doctor years ago didn't even know they could happen where I had them. Just a thought.
