#imEnough

On Saturday at the BlogHer conference (again, I know) I saw the new band The Mrs introduce their first single, "Enough." The song brought tears to my eyes and I was not the only one. Here's the song, and the inspiration behind it. And if you are as pumped as I am about this development on the pop scene, here's where you can buy swag.

If you are anything like me, your pelvic pain has done a number on your self-esteem. Think of this single as good medicine. Yes, you may have pain, but you are not broken - you are enough, just the way you are.

Can't wait for The Mrs to come out with a full length album and go on tour. I'll be in the front row, screaming like a teenager!

Welcome to YatraYoni

Welcome to the YatraYoni blog! I'm so glad you're here.

On this blog you'll find hope and resources for what can be a very difficult and scary time. When I was first diagnosed with vulvodynia, one of many varieties of chronic pelvic pain, the only information I could find on the internet was from some abandoned blogs written by women venting about how miserable and small their lives had become. 

That was super depressing.

It was also ten years ago. Though we still have a long way to go in research and education, there are more resources now, and perhaps just as important, there are more ways for patients to connect. We have fun tools like Twitter, Facebook, and yes, blogs, where we can tell our stories and make our voices heard, to other patients, healthcare providers, and the general public. Where there used to be darkness, there are sparks, hints that things can get better. Together, we can take those sparks and turn them into a raging fire.

Yes, pelvic pain sucks. It hurts, and its scary, and its frustrating. But you CAN get better, and we are here to show you the way!
