Health Organization for Pudendal Education

It is with great regret that I have to report that Karen Wiesner also known as KarenW from TIPNA and Pudendal.Info has passed away . I knew Karen for many years and we exchanged many emails and conversations via telephone whilst going through many medical interventions. I can only wish and hope that she is now finally at peace with her pain. I wish her family peace and calm at this stressful time which is very difficult. She was a wonderful person and had huge capabilities in the many forums which she helped out to provide assistance to others who suffered from pudendal nerve issues; unfortunately the historical information is not available.
God bless Karen may she sleep in peace and without pain forever.

Mod 4,

Thank you for sharing this with our community. I remember Karen's spunk and wit as well as her valuable contributions to the PN forums years ago. May she rest in peace.

I am so sorry to hear this. I will hold her family and friends very close to my heart during this difficult time.

Thank you so much for letting us know about Karen and giving us the opportunity to pay tributes to her. I remember her well, as a vital member of the TIPNA forum, always searching for answers, encouraging others, ready to respond to any questions I had for her. I'm deeply saddened by her passing. May she at last rest in peace.

Hi
Is this the Karen that lived in Santa Rosa Ca.?

This is such sad news. I can't believe Karen is gone. She must have been in such despair to possibly take her own life.

I didn't know Karen well, but what I did know of her, she was a real firecracker. She survived surgeries by Dr. Deborah Metzger and reached out to other women, encouraging them to fight back and report Metzger to the medical board. Her efforts helped the world to know what Metzger was doing with her negligent surgeries. Thanks to Karen, an untold number of women will never have to experience surgery, injury and pain caused by Metzger.

My thoughts are with Karen's family during such a difficult time.

Oh, Dear God, why does it have to come to this. Does anyone know how long she suffered with pn, or how old she was. ?

Ray,

Karen did live in CA.

As I haven't posted for some time I'm only now reading this sad news.. It was Karen who gave me the information on Prof. Vancaillie & his physio. Sherin Jarvis here in Australia. She was the one who had knowledge of them carrying out a study into the use of Botox for pelvic pain. I remember her strength and encouragement to keep searching for answers. She was a great asset to these forums. Rest in peace Karen.
