"One 58-year-old woman who plans to keep using the patch "till they stop making it," says, "I imagine everyone in menopause is going to be running to the doctor to get this patch."
Menopause, and a waning libido, came early -- at 41, another woman says. Although she tried hormone replacement therapy and estrogen creams that can increase vaginal lubrication, neither improved her sex drive. Consequently, she and her husband of 29 years were having sex about once a month.
Now, their sessions are "a LOT more frequent" -- about twice a week, said the woman, who like other patch users agreed to share her experience on the condition she not be identified."

"The trade associations have been in support of such a bill since it was first introduced one year ago by Sens. Biden and Hatch, legislation also supported by other organizations such as the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, the American Medical Association, and the National Football League.

  Joegoslavische bokstrainer 'nog steeds belangrijk' ondanks Zuid Afrikaans dopingschandaal (Sapa October 13, 2004) Eerst worden zijn pupillen gepakt op daga, dan op testosteron. Maar bokstrainer Branco Milenkovic blijft geloven. In zichzelf, dan.
""I am still a big promoter," says the Yugoslavian who operates under the banner of Branco Sports Promotion (BSP). The naturalised South African has made great strides locally and abroad.
He was voted Boxing SA's (BSA) promoter of 2003 and although his image now appears to be tainted, Milenkovic dismisses these allegations. "My image is not damaged, but these doping incidents are disturbing," he said.
"I am losing big money this year. I had invested R60 000 in Vusi and R25 000 in Gwazela. "My investment is not safe," said Milenkovic. "But I will wait for the hearing. I think it will be unfair to jump to any conclusions before the hearing.""
