IC Disease

The American Pain Foundation has named the National Vulvodynia Association as the Website of the Month in their December newsletter.  I think it is great that illnesses like Vulvodynia are starting to get more exposure.  Like IC Disease, Vulvodynia has been an under-funded, under-researched, and very misunderstood illness afflicting many, many women around the world.

The National Vulvodynia Association is an educational, nonprofit organization founded to improve the lives of individuals affected by vulvodynia, a spectrum of chronic vulvar pain disorders. Its website provides information for patients and professionals, healthcare provider referrals, support network and services, research information, publications and more. Its Research Fund was established to provide researchers with the opportunity to gather pilot data on vulvodynia in order to obtain larger-scale funding.
