Kim Ramsey has up to 100 Orgasms a Day, is Exhausted and in Pain
Experiencing 100 orgasms a day might sound like heaven for most people, but for Kim Ramsey (not pictured here) it is a nightmarish reality.
Ramsey suffers from Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder, which makes her feel terminally aroused.
Any pelvic movement can bring an orgasm, no matter how slight the movement, even while she is doing housework.
The numerous orgasms leaves Ramsey tired and in pain.
Doctors have told Ramsey that her condition may have happened from an accident in 2001. She tumbled down the stairs, which could have led to a Tarlov cyst on her spine, where a woman's orgasm originates, reports the Daily Mail.
Ramsey, who is from England, moved to Montclair, New Jersey to be with her boyfriend. She noticed the problem when she started having sex with her boyfriend in 2008.
Ramsey told the Daily Mail: "I had constant orgasms for four days. I thought I was going mad.
We tried everything to make it stop. Squats, deep breathing, I even sat on frozen peas but the orgasms and sexual arousal continued for 36 hours, I must have had around 200 orgasms during that period. The pain and exhaustion was excruciating."
"I've even had one in public. I was travelling home on the train and it was a bit of a bumpy ride. Every jerk of the train or vibration made me more aroused and it was a 40-minute journey so there was nothing I could do. I just had to bite my lip and sit on my hands and hope no one noticed."
"Both women and men just don't seem to get it, they seem to think it's a great thing and, believe me, it's really not."
Unfortunately, doctors have not been able to help as her condiiton is so rare, but Ramsey will travel to London next month to see a Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder expert.

Imagine if EVERY single day
Imagine if EVERY single day you felt as though you were on the verge of sneezing, but could never release a sneeze... or ALWAYS feeling as if you desperately needed to urinate, but could never relieve yourself... or ALWAYS feeling as though you're on the edge of an orgasm without feeling any desire for sex AND without having the orgasm? Some women recall incidences when they were cooking dinner, in a meeting with their boss, talking on the phone with their mom, or helping their kids with homework and during those times feeling a strange and uncomfortable feeling of intense arousal without any sexual desire. Folks, this is real. I know this because I have been suffering from the disorder for nearly 2 years, and it is a living hell. If not for my adoring husband and two young children, I would have ended my life some time ago.
Persistant Genital Arousal Disorder (PGAD) affects more women than people (including the medical community) realize. I joined an online support group where several hundred women suffering from PGAD or PGAD-like symptoms not only seek information about doctors or specialists (yes, there are "specialists") experienced in this rare and debilitating disorder and various treatment approaches, but also compassion and support. Many of these women have suicidal thoughts, which most sufferers can relate to.
I flew to different parts of the country to meet with top doctors to understand what I was dealing with, and after a year and a half of searching, I was diagnosed with pudendal neuralgia (www.pudendalhope.org). PN is a chronic pain disorder affecting one or more areas innervated by the pudendal nerve or one of its branches. There are a host of painful and debilitating symptoms associated with this disorder, including PGAD. Out of all the symptoms I suffer from, the PGAD is by far the worst. It is a most maddening sensation that does NOT fall into the category of pleasure. I can't even begin to explain how debilitating and depressing it is. Unfortunately, having sex with my husband does not give me any relief (and no longer joy) because it is extremely difficult to achieve the orgasm and, if I do, it is WAY too intense and horribly painful.
In a few months I will undergo pudendal nerve decompression surgery, a quite invasive procedure with a long recovery period and no guarantee of relief. I am extremely hopeful that this procedure will take away the PGAD, even if it means permanent damage to more pelvic muscles and nerves, for I would rather spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair and PGAD-free, than spend another day in hell.
I am grateful to Kim Ramsey for speaking up and raising awareness.
Yours truly, Silently Suffering

"a Tarlov cyst on her spine, where a woman's orgasm originates."
women's orgasms originate in a cyst? No wonder they are so hard to give and get. what if you don't have that cyst? I thought they came from the g-spot and the little man in the boat. boy a lot has changed.
Too bad she cant sell some to
Too bad she cant sell some to others unable to have one. Sounds like she could spare a few. Orgasm socialsm!

Rare doesn't necessarily mean unheard of, just that you don't get a high per 100,000 rate of incidence.

Not surprised that she's willing to talk to the press about her condition - sometimes, for "orphan diseases" and the like, the only way to get resources dedicated to research on it is to publicize the disorder. And no research usually means little to no relief.
This is not a joking or
This is not a joking or laughing matter. It is a genuine disorder and I must empathize with the young woman. Imagine, guys, like in high school you had a persistent erection that kept climaxing. Don't you think after the 5th or 6th time you'd be exhausted, if not in some level of discomfort or pain. Try putting yourselves in her shoes instead of acting like insensitive male chauvinist oinkers.

I sat on the plane next to a women that suffered from this disorder. Every time she sneezed, she experienced an orgasm. I asked if she was taking anything for it and she said yes, "pepper".

I'm sure this woman's discomfort will inspire endless locker room & bar jokes. Why she or anyone else dealing with this would volunteer to discuss their person medical problems is always surprising to me. It should make people think twice about achieving their 15 min of fame.
