In January, 2023, TLLC partnered with Lichen Sclerosus Support Network (LSSN). This means my new 2023 blog posts will be published on LSSN’s page. For full details on what the partnership entails, watch this video.
This blog post will focus on the anger and frustration I felt because of the modifications I had to incorporate into my life for the sake of my mental health and wellbeing.
In this post, I highlight important things I learned about Lichen Sclerosus and exercise and provide a checklist and some guidance on how to re-incorporate movement and exercise back into your life.
This will be a two-part blog piece. I began by describing my exercise routine until the point where I received a diagnosis and how I reacted afterward. In my next post, I explain what I learned about exercise and Lichen Sclerosus, and how I brought back one of the things I love most: exercise.
In this post, I share more from my journey with dilators. Specifically, I touch on when i realized I needed to take a break from dilators, and advice for when you may similarly need to step back.
In this post, I introduce dilators and my experience with them. I touch on what they are, how I was instructed to use them, and my experience using them with my pelvic floor physiotherapist.
This piece isn’t a typical blog post for The Lost Labia Chronicles, but instead, is an opinion piece on the importance of diverse research for Lichen Sclerosus and a call for more research to be conducted.
In this post, I follow up on my initial post on pelvic floor physiotherapy where I noticed my vaginal and pelvic floor muscles were tight. This post discusses some of the strategies I learned to help relax the pelvic floor. If you have a tense pelvic floor, this one is for you!
This post looks at my first appointment with a pelvic floor physiotherapist for my Lichen Sclerosus and painful sex. I discuss how to find a pelvic floor physiotherapist, what to expect during the appointment, and important things I learned.
In this post, I focus on the functional aspect of the vulva and vagina, namely, their ability for sexual function and pleasure. I discuss the mental health aspect of comparing your sex life to those of others and how to help overcome it.
In this blog post, I discuss another mental health aspect of Lichen Sclerosus. Specifically, I discuss my tendency to compare my vulva to other vulvas I would see online.
