“At the age of 55 I had my uterus removed after months of hea...”

At the age of 55 I had my uterus removed after months of heavy bleeding. My doctor told me afterward that I only needed estrogen, but about five years later, I luckily learned that I also need progesterone and testosterone, and they should come from a compounding pharmacy. It's been at least 10 years since I started a combination of all three hormones, and there is no way I could really articulate how they have helped me. The estradiol helps my skin, the progesterone helps my brain, helps me sleep, and prevents migraines, and the testosterone helps me feel better, happier, interested in the opposite sex. It is my understanding that the drug industry's hormones cause more cancer and heart disease. Why would anyone take them? Also, I am soon to begin taking a compounded thyroid capsule, similar to the pill I take now, but in a purer form and it will be time released, which is perfect! Thank you for the opportunity to say a little about these compounded hormones. I want all women to know about them.

Hear their stories. Protect their own words. Protect their access to compounded medicines.

On this page, we can only touch on the data that demonstrates the importance of compounded medicines to the lives of millions of people in this country. While the decision to take this vital therapy from patients and physicians might be profitable for big pharmaceutical companies, it will be disastrous for the millions of patients that those same pharmaceutical companies cannot serve!

We encourage the appropriate committees in both the House and Senate to hold hearings on this critical issue.
