cBHT has affected the quality of my life tremendously. It has, and still does, promote better sleep, sexual function, and overall well-being. The ingredients, dosages, and special compounding that I needed were not available at retail or mail order pharmacies. Most of all, my replacement hormones were compounded in accordance with my special needs.

I don't know what I would do without my bioidentical hormones. I have ZERO side effects and the benefits outweigh any risk. I have no hot flashes, I have energy and feel amazing, I have an active sex life and I wouldn't even consider the possibility of stopping taking them.

Increased my vigor and vitality. Andropause at age 60. I started on testosterone topically at age 62. I am presently 75 and going strong. I started my girlfriend on estrogen/progesterone topically at her age of 77. She's 88 and doing very well.

“I use a compounded vaginal formula of estrogen and testoster...”

I use a compounded vaginal formula of estrogen and testosterone and it had radically helped me. I know this is very personal, but until I started taking this, I was unable to enjoy sex. I had tried traditional hormones and they are too strong for me and I had really bad side effects. Today, I am healthy and sexually active and it is because of compunded hormones. This 67 year old is grateful! Please do not ban them.

“I was having about 30 hot flashes a day. Can you imagine bre...”

I was having about 30 hot flashes a day. Can you imagine breaking out in a sweat that goes through your clothing over and over again? It feels like your body temp. just went up 10 degrees. It affects sleep, intimacy, social life, work life, home life, it's embarrassing, it's horribly uncomfortable, and clothing selections have to change. cHBT gave me my life back. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't take it away or reduce the ability for compounding pharmacies to help patients to their fullest extent! If you'd ever had to deal with hot flashes, and finally found relief with cHBT, you'd never consider taking that option away when it relieves the suffering of so many. The pharmaceutical companies can't customize what hormone combination a patient needs. What they offer is terribly inadequate since it's doesn't offer safety and one size doesn't fit all. Only cHBT has the flexibility and safety a patient needs. People need this option. Make your decision based on the suffering of humans, not on some study void of input from patients and medical professionals.

“Starting HRT was life altering! Within a week I felt 100% be...”

Starting HRT was life altering! Within a week I felt 100% better. Over the years I have taken a break from them for various reasons, thinking I would no longer need them. Within a few days I again experienced debilitating symtoms - dramatic hot flashes, night sweats, and insomnia. I take no other drugs. I get a bone scan every five years and it is always better than the norm. My only irritation is that insurance does not cover the cost for bioidentical hormones BUT pays for synthetic.

I have had no negative affects from using bioidentical hormone therapy. It has restored the hormone balance in my system and I feel perfectly normal. I am very disturbed to hear that the FDA is considering restricting my use of a very effective therapy for menopause. Obviously those seeking to restrict this have not experienced menopause.

With balanced hormones, I feel grounded, happy, calm, peaceful. When my hormones are low I know it. I feel anxious, impatient, moody, more negative and generally OFF. I've been getting bioidentical pellets every four-give months for the past five years and I'm very youthful, energetic, productive, and happy in my late 50's. I don't intend to ever go without HRT.
