Wow...this is like meeting a superstar. Good afternoon @cindylb. I have taken some time to review your refreshing and extensive "history" on Connect. How lucky we are to have had an opportunity to hang in with you for many years. I love that you have had your own business and use some of those "executive skills" to care for yourself and your husband.

I joined Connect in 2017 as a caregiver for my life partner. Now Connect is the #1 activity I engage in and from which I learn how to handle aging, medical, and even insurance situations. Actually, my daughter now handles my insurance situations because my memory and cognitive challenges make it impossible for me to follow directions accurately.

I just read your last post and am interested because I have been treated for vaginal atrophy for several years. You are right.....it can be unnerving. I have an appointment with my urologist next Tuesday to review the results of my recent bladder sling surgery and the atrophy. My insurance won't pay for any estrogen so I use Premarin. Is that something you have tried? So what might be my final attempt at orgasm was, to put it bluntly, disgusting.

The bladder sling surgery which I chose in a shared decision with my surgeon has not been more than 25% effective yet. Can you call upon your helping and mentoring experience to tell me what to say, or ask, or bemoan?

I have read about Viveve through Northstate Plastic Surgery. Is there other information I should be reading?

Thanks for your help. I will get back to you the following week if I learn anything of sharing value. Now it is time to go back to my normal Support Groups.

May you be safe, protected, and free from inner and outer harm.
Chris
