Guest guest Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 You know, I have 14 people so far; when I get it completel, I will not do statistics, but rather just show who, when, and how well it works and let people draw their own conclusions. You know even tho we say well yours is old so it doesn't work--but look at Marilyn son, No 1 and it still works! And then there's , who just got one recently and it does not work! Me, I'm banking on that guy on the East Coast who is working on restoring hearing! LOL Marie Re: ABI >I really don't think I should, or any of us first 7, should be in >your poll, Marie.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Hi No she only did an external. I'm going to make an appointment on tuesday to re-visit. I think mine is the same as what you said - i have developed the vaginismus because of the v.v. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanx > > Abi, > It depends what she did her last exam.
