Is this laser treatment called "Mona Lisa?" I was told about this at my gynecologist's office. It is very expensive. I hope it will help you. I am waiting for a different compounded cream to numb the vulva area. This will be the fourth one. Of all the health problems I have, LS is the absolute worst! It is among the several "no cause, no cure" issues I have. With all good wishes, @joybringer

Dear Joy,
I agree w you and likely most people on this site that LS is a nightmare! When I was told I had this I cried for 2 days. It’s embarrassing to talk about , limiting in your activities and painful. The Mona Lisa is sadly not covered by insurance but it should be !! It’s the only course of action to stop the progression of this nightmare. I’d like to speak to my dr about a possibility of setting up a foundation to help woman afford this . My dr was also kind enough to give Cancer patients/ survivors a discount. She feels it’s the only route C patients can take bc they generally cannot use estrogen creams . Maybe lobbying the insurance companies is the way to go . Lasers are not considered essential by insurance companies but in this case it very much is essential.
