Is anyone who is mildly progressing (not severe cases or quick recoverers) still not able to have sex comfortably and/or has pain after?  (Or can anyone who's been healed speak to this?)

I started last Dec. and by May was feeling much better and able to have sex ok.  Then came a regression, and since then, I haven't been able to have sex without the vaginal tissues being tender, the actual act not too pleasant b/c it feels like it's hitting my bladder, and pain afterwards (swollen belly, urgency, feeling kinda like I've been mildly gored there).

All this doesn't make me jump up and down to do it again, and knowing it will cause discomfort makes me more tense during I think.

Also curious if anyone has the nagging feeling that we could be mentally/psychologically contributing to the painful sex issue, like if we can't relax or are tightening the muscles, we are partly causing this, and even if Matia can heal what's physically wrong, we could keep creating this type of pain.

I appreciate any experiences / insights.
