United States

In the United States, millions of people depend on compounded medicines to live normal, productive, healthy lives. Their first-hand stories speak directly to the power of this important therapy. As the FDA considers removing access to certain medicines like compounded hormones, their voices must be part of the conversation.

“I started having a very hard time sleeping in my early 40's....”

I started having a very hard time sleeping in my early 40's. Sleep is everything. Lack of proper sleep has been shown to advance Alzheimer's disease, affect insulin levels, increase anxiety, and affect the body's ability to heal. I refuse to take any FDA drugs for sleep that have clearly dangerous side effects of making me want to kill myself or other people. My hormones have given me back my ability to sleep peacefully at night. I have not experienced any ill effects of my hormone levels being at a healthier level than that of a typical 53 year old woman who would normally be overweight, be pre-diabetic, have nasty mood swings, horrendous night sweats, and have their hair falling out. It's disgusting to me that the FDA wants to eliminate my ability to choose a safe alternative to the myriad of dangerous drugs that I would have to take to try and duplicate what my natural hormones already do, and safely.

For 15+ years and counting I have been on E and P. My heart, brain, bones, etc. have not declined but increased in health as per my lab tests. I would encourage all women post-menopause to use these Rx instead of heart meds, brain meds, and bone meds. Natural therapy is the way to go. Wiley Protocol is my method of health. I am on no other meds at 71 years old.

“After suffering with perimenopause symptoms for six years, m...”

After suffering with perimenopause symptoms for six years, my doctor prescribed bioidentical hormones. Within two weeks I felt like me again. I actually felt like a better version of myself. The symptoms lessened and finally disappeared, allowing me to focus on my family, work and personal life. The symptoms were so severe that panic attacks made me not want to leave my bed. Bioidentical hormones have changed my life for the better.

I began hormone replacement therapy over 30 years ago post hysterectomy and removal of ovaries. I was on high doses of premarin for many years. When I ceased the premarin my menapausal symptoms returned in spades - severe hot flashes, inability to sleep and to focus. I began using bioiedentical hormone creams 10 years ago and all symptoms abated. I am currently taking estradiol and testosterone cream as well as progesterone troches. I am healthy and feel totally normal. I feel the compounded hormones are eay to use, easy to adjust doses to minimum requirements and healthier.

“cBHT has had an extremely positive effect on my life. I suff...”

cBHT has had an extremely positive effect on my life. I suffered from migraines, anxiety and depression, and tried FDA approved hormones from pharmaceutical companies that made my issues worse and I could not work. Once I switched to cBHT, I was able to deal with my difficult menopause and continue my work as a fitness trainer. I would never go back to FDA approved pharmaceutical hormones. cBHT has saved my life and I should be allowed to choose what I put into my body, not the government. I am begging the FDA to let me choose my course of treatment. Don't take my quality of life away from me and my family.

“This medicine has changed my life in every way. I feel healt...”

This medicine has changed my life in every way. I feel healthier and stronger than I did 20 years ago. It has changed how I feel as a woman (I had low hormone issues since my daughter was born 33 years ago), and enhanced my relationship with my husband. I feel like I am 40 and I'm almost 61. I normally avoid medication, but I would go without food to afford my hormones. I will take them until I die.

Before the bioidentical hormones I felt so much pain. My body hurt all the time and my mind was riddled with anxiety and depression. I felt awful all the time. Since taking the cBHT I now feel "normal". The cBHT gives me a quality of life with none of the harmful side effects from the synthetic or animal derived hormones.

I was miserable with hot flashes all day long. My body felt run down and my hormones were almost non-existent. I kept gaining weight for no reason. I felt irritable. I was afraid if I did not do something that I could get cancer or become very sick. Now I feel so much better and more like myself.

“I am currently 62 years old. I hit menopause right at 50 wit...”

I am currently 62 years old. I hit menopause right at 50 with unbearable symptoms that I do not think were even on a symptom list. I also suffered from rough hot flashes. I thought I had unusual and unexplainable symptoms because I never had children. Some days I felt like I was going to pass away right where I was standing at that very moment. One day while having lunch with a friend, I had a hot flash. My lunch friend asked me if I was going through menopause and if so I must try bioidentical hormone pellets. At this point I had nothing to lose. I went and had my first insertion nine years ago. I was so amazed that within two weeks I had no more hot flashes and no more unusual other symptoms. I also wanted to note, that before I heard of the pellets I used every means of ointments, oils, creams that the doctors had prescribed. Nothing worked. One doctor even prescribed anti-depressants, which I did not consider at all. What an amazing change it was for me. Night and day! I am perplexed why this wonderful option for women in menopause is not covered by insurance and not approved. I get two insertions a year to feel like a human being again.

Without bioidentical hormones I cannot sleep, I have no energy and feel extremely depressed. I also would cry at the drop of a hat. Since I have been taking the bioidentical hormones I have a better quality of life. I sleep better, feel energized and happy. At 58, I am a busy working woman that must work probably until I am 70. Please do not take this away from us. It is necessary! Thank you!
