I listened to a podcast today with a couple of my favorite doctors who talked about how their patients can become so focused on being sick that they start to identify with their illness. It makes sense - we fight for years to find someone, anyone, who will take us seriously. I have been disabled…
Girl Talk!
We never talk about the one thing we girls need to be talking about - vaginal health. It’s uncomfortable. It’s private. It’s personal. And it’s important.
