Can you do a video that PFD patients can share that's just for friends and family to see.
There's a lot of videos for patients but sometimes we only have short attention spans for people around us... It's disheartening and can be deflating.
Having a video that just gives them facts and a quick understanding would be such an amazing tool for understanding and support.
I've started to explain before and by the end I'm flooded and sometimes have tears in my eyes by the end.

Thanks for the feedback and suggestion. I will add this to the pile of future episodes. It can be very challenging for anyone else to rule comprehend what it is we go through with this condition. I am considering setting up a support group for partners, parents and loved ones of pelvic pain patients. Let me know if you wish yours to be added to the list for this.

Happened to me mate, I took two pills of cipro and felt as if I had been drinking non stop for weeks, couldn’t even concentrate, I threw them away and got mad at my doctor… mind you all my tests were clear and no warning was given at the time of prescription, I do hate such doctors who want to destroy us, probably one can’t even sue them…
