I've posted a couple of times already and understand everyone's frustration because I have felt/feel it. So I have now been taking the naltrexone for almost 2 months ( I wrote in August). I actually have been feeling some improvement. I've actually felt okay enough to have sex multiple times since I have begun taking it. Which is a far cry from where I was at and the only thing that has helped my pain in the last five years. If you read my earlier post you will be able to read that. About 3/4 of the times I try I have to stop because it's too painful but I am thankful for the 1/4 of the time when I feel normal. I am still very cautious and nervous about the whole thing. I am still going to pelvic floor therapy which I think helps with relaxing.
To the person who posted the post right before this one. Keep your mind open. I have had multiple specialist (the "best") tell me all different kinds of conflicting things that they were confident in. Such as it was in my head, it was uncontrollable nerve firing, I have an abnormal concentration of nerves, I need surgery, I don't need surgery etc etc. I have had many doctor's who have run out of ideas in front of me and understand how discouraging it can be. I personally think you should still consider going to counseling, not because I believe this is in your head(obviously I don't) but because having someone to talk to about your feelings and frustrations is important part of coping with stress and painful emotions.
