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 am 67 years old and I started hormone therapy several year...”

I am 67 years old and I started hormone therapy several years ago because I had lost my sex drive and was not sleeping well. Since taking the hormones, my husband and I are able to enjoy being intimate and I sleep much better. I do not want to take conventional hormones because my mother died from breast cancer. cBHT has most definitely affected my life for the better!

“Compounded cBHT changed my life. It made such a positive imp...”

Compounded cBHT changed my life. It made such a positive impact on my health. I also believe it saved my marriage. I would be devastated if I was no longer able to get it. It relieved all of my pre-menopausal symptoms without any side effects and I feel so good. Traditional options didn't do that for me. I had side effects and never really felt quite right. I will never give up my cBHT willingly.

Simply put, my pre-treatment symptoms were so debilitating that I could not function in daily life without the benefits of compounded HRT.

“After an emergency surgery, I lost my ovaries and went into ...”

After an emergency surgery, I lost my ovaries and went into early menopause. I felt like a different person. I lost my drive, began having muscle loss, lost hair, developed skin dryness, no longer had desire to exercise, etc.. I want to continue taking hormones the rest my life. I chose bioidentical, for safety reasons. I would also like to have these covered by insurance.

“cBHT has dramatically helped me stay healthy during perimeno...”

cBHT has dramatically helped me stay healthy during perimenopause and now menopause without the health risks associated with synthetic hormones. I am grateful to have access to cBHT and can't imagine having to stop using this effective and low risk therapy. It is protecting my bone health and helping me stay strong and functional during the changes brought by menopause. Please protect the availability of this very important therapy.

“I have had migraine headaches since puberty. I had thought I...”

I have had migraine headaches since puberty. I had thought I tried everything until someone suggested I get my hormones checked. My testosterone was almost non-existent. With the use of these bioidentical hormones, I maybe get four headaches a year and can function again. This greatly improved the quality of my life.

It has helped me tremendously! I was having terrible hot flashes, no energy, low libido and weight gain, even on a controlled diet. BHT has turned that around! It has been tailored made based on my lab results and how I feel. There is definitely NOT a one fix for everyone! BHT is made to fit you! I can't imagine going without and back to how I felt prior!

“I started to have unexplained pain in all my muscles/joints ...”

I started to have unexplained pain in all my muscles/joints a year ago this month. I have been through many doctors, lab workup, x-rays, and CT scans. It is still unexplained, but something to do with inflammation. LDN was recommended during one of my visits with my doctor trying to balance my hormones. I've been on LDN for about 7-8 months now, and although my pain is not completely gone, it has improved greatly. I had limited range of motion too and that is starting to get back to normal as well. I can't imagine going back to the way I felt a year ago.

I went into natural menopause at 38. cBHT has restored my hormones to normal levels. This allows for normal sex life, balanced moods and emotions, energy and better sleep and quality of life.

“Bioidentical hormones have had a dramatic effect on my life ...”

Bioidentical hormones have had a dramatic effect on my life and well-being. I developed significant premenstrual symptoms years ago (terrible nights sweats, severe back pain with cramps, etc) that was greatly improved once I started bioidentical hormones. I would never use non-bioidentical HRT so without compounded BHT I am nervous I would suffer prior symptoms.

“It has saved my life more than once. It takes a long time to...”

It has saved my life more than once. It takes a long time to learn how hormones impact your body, how to correlate your labs to what you need to change, etc. It is a delicate balance- and having the ability to adjust dosage in small increments in response to environmental, biological, stress changes in your body can mean the difference between withering in depression, to feeling balanced and capable.

I have been using cBHT for over 10 years. I know it works for hot flashes and memory, as I had to postpone a doctor's visit and hence, a lapse in my prescription. All of those symptoms came rushing back until I was back on the correct dose. More importantly, I have no signs of osteoporosis and my younger sister who has not been on cBHT has severe osteoporosis. Now she is on heavy pharmaceuticals and is at an extreme high risk for bone fractures throughout her body.

Without cBHT being in my life for the last three years, I would have been insane (literally). Three days into starting my first prescription, I was less anxious, less cloudy thinking, less irritable, sleeping through the night, and didn't feel like I had morning sickness anymore. It literally saved my life. It gave me my life back!

Without cBHT, I was in pain, depressed, and on the verge of having to have a hysterectomy, which would have still left the hormonal imbalance. My quality of life is undeniably improved by this therapy. The other pharmaceuticals I tried did not work, either. But the BHT has worked, and continues to work miracles in my life.

“My progesterone, estrogen and testosterone were zero. I was ...”

My progesterone, estrogen and testosterone were zero. I was miserable. I gained so much weight. The progesterone pills and testosterone/estrogen cream have been a lifesaver. I would sooner use natural products than unknown ingredients. Not only has my body changed in short period of time six months, most importantly, mentally I am much better! We need to keep these compounding pharmacies! Please do not take them away. It will hurt so many of us.
