Katherine Campbell, a wife and mother of two young boys, is pushing for Federal Drug Agency approval of flibanserin, an experimental women's libido drug, despite concerns that it increases the risk of fainting and accidental injury, especially when combined with alcohol.
The FDA says side effects like nausea and dizziness outweigh the drug's efficacy.
Katherine and her husband went to Washington this week for an FDA meeting at which she'll testify.
"To tell me that I can't try a drug that could drastically improve my marriage, improve my life, because of dizziness and nausea is, to me, a cop out. We're again dismissing it and we need to pay more attention and we need to take this seriously for once," she said.
The Campbells are the only ones fighting for change.
A video released by the Even the Score organization points out that there's a discrepancy between treatment for men and women.
"Even though more women than men suffer from sexual dysfunction, there isn't one available medication on the market. Sounds like we've been left high and dry."
