Yet, there is something about it that rings diet and fitness *disservice* to so many women with the same medical problem. Although the term 'vulvodynia' is never actually mentioned (a technicality), what really bothers me is that the book is almost entirely devoid of the one thing I kept expecting to find at one point or another: HOPE. The diet and fitness tone is quite dark and--while diet and fitness I can understand the author's desire for consistency--as someone with the very condition she writes about, I kept wondering when she was ever going to get around to landing upon something that actually helped her. No such luck.It also fails to truly convey the frustration of having to forage through the medical thicket with a condition so poorly understood. Her sarcasm rings through, but she appears to have unusually effective relationships with her doctors (perhaps this was worked over in the drafts?). While that might be an inspiration to women who need to garner a little more assertiveness while on the examination table (something difficult to do when you're half-naked in stirrups!),
