DJ, my story is very similar to yours! I am 22 years old and will be receiving treatment this Monday! I am also terrified of needles, I have never even had my blood drawn as I refuse and start to cry! I think I am most afraid of having to actually face my problem and work to fix it. The past year I have just avoided my vaginismus by not engaging in anything that may remind myself that I have this issue. I am so happy I have you ladies here to vent to even though I have not met any of you!
