Hey everyone, I was diagnosed with vulvodynia in 2017, and I had it really badly. It was unprovoked, and caused me so much grief. Through lots of therapy, various treatments, and lots of changes to my life (the main one actually being breaking up with my ex!), I basically completely cured it, and have lived a life mainly without pain for a couple of years now (thank goodness! I'm so grateful). However, I have never managed to get off pregabalin (I went on it in 2017), though I really want to. I have started to taper off (only reducing 200mg to 175mg) and, to my shock and horror, I'm having a really bad pain flare up down there. It's just when I'm going about my daily life. Part of me wants to just jump up on the meds again, but I know I really want to get off this drug. Does anyone have any advice? Did anyone else experience this, and then the pain went away again? Is it just a symptom of withdrawal? Any advice is so appreciated, as it's bringing back lots of really upsetting and worrisome feelings I used to have in the dark period of my life when I was so terrorised by this condition. Thank you so much!
