    Ina, It seems like those K-Y liquidbead have been pulled off the shelves.  Are you still able to find them?

    Barb, I'm so glad last night was good for you. I know it has been a hard road for you. Well seems like it's my turn now. The Femara is beginning to do it's job, and I'm starting to be as dry as a bone. I'm thinking things will get worse before they get better. 5 years sure seems like a long time to feel like this.

    I have a new Onc. I see him early January to see how my first 2 months on Femara is going. I sure hope he is more open to using some kind of cream.

    Does anyone know why the KY-Liquid Beads were pulled off the shelves, if they were?  I tried to find them at a couple of drugstores today and no one had any.  Just curious.  I am still using the Replens but I do not like it so was open to trying something else similar to it.

    Medigal, I have no idea where the Liquid Beads went!  I tried several pharmacys before I looked online.  even on the K-Y website they are not listed.  They have a new Long Lasting Moisturizer in single dose applicators but it is not going to be available until March.  I did like the liquid beads but I guess they have vanished.

    I seem to recall reading the single dose applicators were replacing the beads. It's sad, becuase I liked the beads. I really don't like the Replens, but have been using it. I find with the Femara in me the Replense isn't enough now.

    Thanks Susand for the info.  I won't waste time looking for them.  If they bring out the single dose applicators I might try that because Replens used to have them but I can only find the tube with the reusable application which I do not like but use until I find something else.

    Actually, last time I went to buy the beads I couldn't find them either. Replens and many other products burn--so frustrating!

    Medigal, if you dont like Replens, have you ever tried Carlson's Key E vitamin E suppositories?  I alternate those and Replens/KY liquidbeads (whichever I can find!).  They are soothing and moisturizing.  I find them online on either Amazon or an online drugstore. Like Replens and KY beads they can leak out so I use at night.

    I haven't seen the liquid beads around either. Maybe they have been discontinued.  My gyn recommended them though, over the Replense.  Anyway,  I started the Tomoifen today.  Really nervous about going off the Arimidex and getting new and differnet side effects.  The only SE I would like would be to lose wieghtUndecided
