After several years of hot flashes and night sweats and some other premenopausal symptoms, I am feeling so much better with a regiment of HRT. My overall health is great and I have a lot of energy. I did not want to use synthetic hormones and love my compounded bioidentical hormone therapy.

“The improvements in my life are many. I sleep better, my wei...”

The improvements in my life are many. I sleep better, my weight has balanced, and I no longer have mood swings. My hormones ae balanced and I don't suffer from too much of one or lack of another. Hot flashes and night sweats are long gone. My mind is clear, I feel better and stronger. I am grateful everyday for a product that is personalized to me and works so well. It would be tragic if I could no longer get compounded hormones.

Replacement hormone therapy has completely eliminated my depression, fatigue and greatly improved my ability to work out and keep off excess weight. While trying to find a doctor to help me I was without hormone therapy and I gained weight and was tired and had a difficult time with energy to work out and handle working. Hormone therapy has also helped my 85 year old mother suffering from deep depression.

“I am menopausal (total hysterectomy) and have osteoporosis/o...”

I am menopausal (total hysterectomy) and have osteoporosis/osteopenia in back/neck/hips. I began bioidentical hormones to restructure my bones which they are doing (per DEXA scans). I tried to take 100 mg progesterone pills but they made my breasts terribly sore and made me dizzy and nauseus so I opted for compounded troche at 60 mg. Probem solved. When I was diagnosed with LS, I had two options, steroid creams or compounded Estroil cream that my physician recommended. I am a 65 year old HIGHLY sensitive patient and pharmaceutical drugs typically cause more severe issues for me than the original symptoms did. They typically backfire and cause me to get even sicker. I have to have an alternative in order to function. My body cannot tolerate standard drugs. I take care of my 75 year old husband with cognitive decline (who no longer drives.) If I am incapacitated due to drug illness, life as we know it stops.

I've been using compounded bioidentical prescriptions for over 20 years. With regular monitoring through assays and subjective information, I have maintained my physical, emotional and cognitive health in large part due to the attention and expertise of my practitioner using the compounded pharmacies and the BHT they provided me. Please don't thwart my access to these life preserving substances.
