A woman who suffers from uncontrollable bads, which can be triggered by driving over a pothole, says that it has ruined her life.
The rare disease, the persistent disorder of bad arousal (PGAD), apparently occurred after a routine smear in 2017.
The woman, named only as Maria, 61, said that even going to a concert of Shania Twain had given her bad.
And she said that "great excitement" – that she lives without any badual desire – has turned her into a loner.
The mother of three, who was previously president of a charity for reproduction, said that women who suffer from this disease "should know that they are not monsters".
She added, "People should not have to go there and be ridiculed.
"It's far from being funny." It broke up marriages.
"Some women committed suicide.
"It undermines your trust because, to be honest, there are days when I wish I could not be here."
The health commission disputed the fact that the smear had clearly caused damage to its pudendal nerve.
She believes this was triggered after a routine gynecological examination at Glasgow's Stobhill Hospital in September 2017, where a consultant "pierced" her with a speculum.
The following month, she began to experience painful symptoms for the first time, possibly diagnosed as PGAD, caused by pudendal nerve damage.
Maria said, "I did not know what was going on.
"You have this great excitement, but it's not going anywhere, or triggered by anything.
"Most of the time, I feel like sitting on an ant nest.
"There are times when it tickles all day, but something triggers it and it's an bad in its own right.
"Driving over potholes, airplane turbulence, escalators, vibrating violins – I do not know how many women could say they went to a Shania Twain concert and she told them gave bad.
"Ninety percent of my life has been destroyed and the other ten percent is not so terrible either.
"I had to give up volunteering because just moving can trigger it.
"A friend of mine told me that I would become a loner."
The widow, from East Dunbartonshire, fears that using Botox as a treatment will leave her incontinent.
But other treatments, including anesthetic gels, pelvic floor physiotherapy and steroid injections directly into her clitoris have proven ineffective.
Maria, who has grown-up children, said, "It's just ridiculous to think that this damage was caused by the incompetence of a consultant and that you suffer from incontinence as a result of your actions in an attempt to cure them. .
"It's shocking."
She lobbied to be referred abroad for treatment, but despite the efforts of her MP Jo Swinson, the application was rejected by the NHS Greater Glasgow and the Clyde Board of Health.
Instead, the trust sent her back to London for treatment, Scotland having no specialist in PGAD – officially recognized as a disorder in 2013 and affecting one percent of women.
An NHS GGC spokesman said: "We explored and exhausted all locally available treatments for this patient and were unable to relieve their symptoms.

"Therefore, we proposed to refer them to a specialist consultant in London."
Ms. Swinson said, "It is disappointing that the board of health has taken so long to recognize that it is not able to offer effective treatment itself.
"However, I am happy to see that things are moving in a positive direction and I hope this will help identify a successful treatment plan for Maria."
