After I had a hysterectomy in 2004, I began having symptoms that were interrupting my sleep, my day at work, my relationship with my husband, and my overall quality of life. Traditional doctors were not interested in relieving my symptoms. I am so grateful to the doctors who have studied hormones and menopause for they prescribed compounded hormones which literally gave me my life back. I hope and pray this compounded hormones will continue to be available to us.

Bioidentical hormones have significantly increased my quality of life. I have more energy. My sex life is vastly improved. Taking away this valuable 'quality of life enhancing' compounded therapy is wrong.

It has enhanced all aspects of my life and I would not want to be without it.

I began taking compounded hormone therapy in my early 50's. I was unable to tolerate the pharmaceutical brands for various reasons. Once I got the right form and dose, I felt like my life was mine again. My emotional, mental and physical health improved remarkably. Without hormone therapy, I might not have survived.

Gives me energy and affects my mood positively. I don't have depression or mood swings. It keeps my skin, hair and overall appearance looking healthy and youthful. People are always complimenting me on how healthy I look. Overall, I have great health benefits and I could not be the active person I am without these hormones.

I had a hysterectomy before menopause. I tried the patch and estrogen pills and had severe mood swings. The compounded creams are made for my body and it has changed my life. There are also bad unhealthy ingredients in the pills etc. The creams metabolize differently and less hard on liver etc.

“Several years ago, I found that the quality of my life had t...”
Several years ago, I found that the quality of my life had taken a sudden shift and I was struggling to continue my normal daily activities. I was tired all the time, forgetful, mentally sluggish and often felt that I needed a nap in the afternoons. I felt weak and frail. In addition, I got sick more often than normal. I also had a myriad of side effects related to low hormones that ranged from just an annoyance to a daily problem for me. These included dry hair and hair loss, indigestion and bloating, weight gain, dry skin, dry eyes and visual inconsistency, hoarseness and throat irritation, lack of appetite, lack of libido, and depression. I think you get the picture. Basically, I had gone from being active and happy to being tired, irritable and depressed in the space of a year or so. I elected to use bioidentical hormones to address my health concerns and within two days I noticed a significant difference in mood and energy level. Over the next two weeks, things changed significantly for me. While I cannot say I feel like a 20 year old, I can say that I still have an active and enjoyable life with only minimal issues related to aging. I can honestly say that I could not work successfully in my chosen field of work (QA for pharmaceutical companies) without the hormone therapy to keep me feeling energetic and serene. I am so grateful that I found a non-invasive, easy to use drug treatment that allows me to continue to live a full life at 61. It is a shame that the medical community does not provide women with accurate and unbiased information about HRT as it would improve the quality of life of so many women. It is simply not good enough to be alive, life is about being healthy, happy and vibrant and bioidentical hormones have given that to me.

I needed hormone therapy. My doctor wanted a compounded cream for me so she could specify the amount of each hormone I needed. I have been very pleased with my hormone therapy and feel like it has had a beneficial impact on my health and well-being.

I can't live without my bioidentical hormones. If I didn't have them, I would get migraine headaches, be sleep deprived, and would feel lethargic.

“I am a true testament for hormonal therapy. It basically sav...”
I am a true testament for hormonal therapy. It basically saved my life in many ways. I could not sleep, my weight was getting worse (and I wasn't eating either but still gaining). My stress levels were extremely high. Las Colinas Pharmacy was a life saver for me. I just will never understand why insurance will not pay for hormonal therapy.
“I had gained a significant amount of weight despite the fact...”
I had gained a significant amount of weight despite the fact I did HITT workouts three times a week and Pilates for an hour 2-3 times a week. Brain fog had affected my work. I was sleeping 3-4 hours per night and experienced hot flashes. These symptoms also affected my personal life. I had no interest in sex and was stressed from the other symptoms listed. My physician tested my thyroid and eliminated that as a possibility. I then started cBHT. In one month I felt 50-60% improvement. Within three months, the hot flashes and brain fog were gone and I was sleeping through the night. I believe the use of cBHt not only saved my job but also greatly improved my personal life and my marriage.
“I started using compounded hormone cream years ago on the ad...”
I started using compounded hormone cream years ago on the advice of my Harvard trained medical doctor to offset symptoms as I was entering perimenopause. I've had very few issues with irregular periods or hot flashes so feel like this has helped me navigate this time of hormonal fluctuation as I age. I'm grateful for anything that is a little more natural and mimics what my body naturally produces. I would be frustrated to have to find something else to try and feel like I was having to experiment with something new when what I'm using seems to be working. Please continue to allow the use of compounds for uses that are deemed medically necessary by our doctors!

“I am 67 years old and have used bioidentical hormone replace...”
I am 67 years old and have used bioidentical hormone replacement (creams, patches, capsules) for the past 12+ years. As a result, I have an active sex life, have great skin tone and look younger, and maintain sustained energy and brain function for work, travel and enjoyment of my children/grandchildren. My prescribing practitioner monitors me yearly with blood/saliva testing to adjust dosages as needed.
“I had taken medically prescribed HRT for 22 years and sudden...”
I had taken medically prescribed HRT for 22 years and suddenly developed blood clots. This left me with no relief for hot flashes and sleepless nights. I started taking compounded HRT two years ago and have 100% relief. I was never verified "allergic", only a guess that the blood clot that almost killed me was caused by traditional HRT. I think 100% of women would benefit 100% of the time from compounded HRT. No harmful ingredients and 100% effective.

There are so many areas the cream has helped me, from improving my moods, to better sexual satisfaction, to even minimizing weight gain amd better looking skin. I feel I would not be in as good of shape physically and mentally if I did not have these hormones.
