Re: Hormones - Kath --->was Antihistamines

Oh Kath,My heart goes out to you...because removing your ovaries almost guarantees vaginal dryness. Have you tried anything like oils or lubricants? Many of the women on the group use Emu Oil for moisture (Laid in Montanta brand). If you go back through the older posts you'll discover all kinds of lube suggestions...Olive Oil, Femglide (which is now sold as Slippery Stuff -blue label), even Crisco (yes, the kind you cook with...LOL). I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting. Vagifem is a very, very low dose bio-identical estradiol that has good uro/genital effects. One of the women on here uses it and she has had previous breast cancer. Her doctor okayed it because again - it is so low in the dose. I'm not sure what your situation is...but it 'might' be an option. I wish I had more

answers for you...Take Care,Chelle
