How To Get Your Sexual Groove Back Sun, 13 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0400
Dear Dr. Sandy, I read your article on March 2, "Getting Back in Touch With Your Desire," and it sounded like you were talking about me. I'm 50 years old, married for 30, and have a family history of heart disease. I'm about 40 pounds overweight (seems like whatever I eat goes to my belly). I'm taking cholesterol-lowering medication and blood pressure medication. My sexual interest feels like it's slipped off the planet. My husband and I would both like to get back some of our old zing. I'd like to get into the LibiGel study you mentioned in your column. Can you give me some information about who to contact? Are there risks of taking testosterone when I still have my ovaries (they have not been surgically removed, but I have gone through menopause)? Thank you!

Even absent additional symptoms, if the runny nose requires the consumption of box after box of tissues over several weeks, it's a good idea to at least check in with the doc.
