Why do doctors have no problem giving 20 year old men viagra through samples for "occasional" and normal performance anxiety associated ED? Yet when it comes to diabling symptoms of peri-menopause and menopause for example, insomnia, leading to loss of work and income, bone loss which leads to fractures, mental/emotional changes which lead to divorce, incotinence leading to social isolation etc. The list goes on and on. Doctors will say " well we don't doubt you're symptomatic yet there is nothing I can do??? But yes, there is... Biological hormones. The only problem is there is no money to be made, as biological hormones cannot be patented so drug companies do not make any money. I am also maddend by the fact that trials were underway for testoterone patches for women. They were working! Then they were ripped out from under us saying they needed further study. It is a well know fact that Viagra causes heart attacks in men. Yet it dosen't require further study and pulled off the market?!!! Sickening. I guess it is still a mans world and I am tired of suffering at the hands of men!!!
