I think they were to lobby to get Mona Lisa Touch subsidised for women with breast cancer, and I think also lobbying about DHEA pessaries? YES is available on the NHS in the UK, so that would be another nice addition here. i have no idea where, if anywhere, they got to with this.
For what it's worth: I tried MLT with a gyno in training on the equipment, and it hurt so much I stopped the procedure. It may have simply been operator inexperience,but I didn't want to repeat it. So for anyone who goes ahead with it, do check that your gyno has done a lot of it, otherwise look elsewhere. The DHEA pessaries worked really well for me, as does the Yes Vaginal Moisturiser (the one specifically designed for vaginal atrophy, not the other Yes moisturisers/lubricants). I've found Astroglide by far the best lubricant for sex - I think it was recommended by another member.
For those ladies who aren't members of the Lost Libido Ladies group, do join, because there's a heap of historical info from a few of us on those pages, including more details on all the above. xx
