Hi KC and ALL:
KC, I sent someone these links last week -- they may or may not be
helpful to you -- since we really don't yet know what is going on re
your condition. Did your doc say anything about perimenopause? What
about your pap was "abnormal" -- did he give a dx re your pap, ie.
dysplasia, viral condyloma, etc.? Not that I would know what it all
means lol. Anyway, here are the links --
http://www.wdxcyber.com/new.htm
On second thought, I'll just send that link as it lists the many
articles written by Doc Rick -- many of those articles may be of
interest to you.
Take Care,
Yen
