After dealing with an extreme case of shingles, my hormones took a huge dive, I was having body aches, pains, headaches, hot flashes that felt like someone put oil, cayenne pepper, on my back and lit it on fire, my body temperature went from 96.7 to 102.3 in 30 seconds and would last a minute and a half to 2 minutes, I was exhausted and looked like I was dragged through hell. I could not focus or think clear thoughts often.

Once I received the hormone cream, I slept all night for the first time in three months, the hot flashes stopped after only 3 days, this is not the norm for most people, I hear it can take approximately 2 weeks. Not for me, it made an almost immediate change. I cannot have a day without this cream. Thank God for it.

15 years ago after an injury led to an orchiectomy, my testosterones values plummeted. After being a lifelong fitness enthusiast, athlete and martial arts coach I found myself lethargic, slow to recover ad injury prone. I initially tried injections, Androgel and other testosterone Rxs but the cost, inconvenience, skin irritations and inconsistent absorption left me frustrated. A doctor prescribed compounded BHT cream and it was a dramatic improvement. My testosterone levels returned to normal, there was no skin irritation and the cost was much more reasonable. It would be an incredible disservice to eliminate this option for HRT patients.

My hormones are nuts due to mold toxicity completely ravaging my body. I can’t take man-made hormone therapy due to side effects and tolerance to chemicals. Compounded is one of the only ways that I can receive treatment.

I went into menopause early after my doctor took me off birth control pills at age 43. Without biodentical compounded hormones I would not be able to function, take care of my family or work a job. Without them my hair was falling out, my body constantly aching and no sex drive which was destroying my marriage. With these compounded hormones I am able to live a good productive life.

After many years of only being prescribed antidepressants from traditional doctors - I was finally diagnosed a treated correctly by a holistic doctor who prescribed hormonal replacement via a compounding pharmacy. 

For years, since a teenager, I was prescribed a standard synthroid medication. For years I couldn't get through a day without a nap every afternoon. Finally, I found a doctor who knows the relationship between levels of T-3 and T-4 and began prescribing a compounded T-3 formula in the amount my body needed. Ever since, now about 9 years, I feel energized throughout the day without getting heart palpitations or any other negative side effect of the wrong level of thyroid hormones.
Please keep compounding pharmacies for the health and well being of millions of Americans.

I had my last period at the age of 43. I'm fifty now and have been grateful to have hormones available to me during this decade when I should've naturally been making them. While I realize there are other versions of hormones out there, bio-identicals have managed my symptoms well and I've felt good about taking them. The pharmacy I've worked with is very professional and responsive. I'm grateful for their service in my healthcare.

My thyroid medications come from a compounding pharmacy. I cannot take medicine for my hormones that aren’t natural.
I am a cancer patient in remission.
I cannot take medicine for thyroid unless it’s from a compound pharmacy.

Having suffered from undiagnosed Lyme disease for a decade + resulting in thyroid autoimmune disease (Hashimoto's), a hysterectomy, mold toxicity, environmental/chemical sensitivities, severe food intolerances from Histamine Intolerance/ Mast Cell Activation Syndrome just to name the major issues I have had. BHRT has been a KEY PART of my recovery. I am on the tail end of what the FDA finally recognized as Post Lyme Disease Syndrome and if I have to give up my BHRT I KNOW my health will decline. I will be on BHRT for the rest of my life and will fight with all that I have to keep the right to make my own decisions regarding my health care."]

As a colon cancer survivor, I was surgically put right into menopause at age 32! It wasn't until several years later that it finally caught up to me. I had such low energy, forgetfulness, low libido, and mild depression. I found a hormone specialist in our area to help me get back to normal self. I started out on a combination of bHrt and it made such a difference. I cant imagine not having my compounded hormones. Having your hormones balanced is essential to a woman's heart, brain and bone health.

I have been on bio identical hormones for aver 3 years now. It has saved my my marriage, our sex life, my health. I cannot imagine going back to the way it was before without them. Please help keep cBHT here for us now, for our children, and future generations. It is life saving in many ways!

I suffered terribly from sleep deprivation when I entered peri-menopause . I had no REM sleep for 18 months and had developed all sort of psychological symptoms. I started bio-identical HRT and was perfectly normal two weeks after I began. I have been on HRT for 32 years and am 79. I have the bone density of a 28 year old, 0.2 T-score and 2.8 Z score. I have 0 calcium score i.e. no plaque, no atherosclerosis. I have no illnesses and only take thyroid and HRT with prescriptions. I physically present more like a 65 year old than a 79 year old. 

My hot flashes were almost debilitating until I started using bioidentical progesterone cream. It drastically added to the quality of my life! My primary care doctor was astounded when I told him that the hot flashes stopped in a few days, but my story isn't all that rare. "First, do no harm," and that's how I feel about this solution!

I start using compounded hormones in my thirties after a visit with my doctor to address symptoms I was experiencing. After looking at my chart told me I was at that age. I found a Doctor who had knowledge of hormone therapy. Now I am sixty and am very happy to have been able to make that choice years ago and so is my husband.

Compounded hormone replacement cream, tailored to MY unique dosage, applied transdermally, has relieved unremitting brain fog and hot flashes in ways that much higher doses of oral hormones could not do, without the weight gain that oral hormone therapy caused for me. I am grateful to have this therapy available, especially as the transdermal route is much safer for my liver.

Compounded medications have made a significant difference in my life and health. Compounded natural bio-identical hormones taken over 25 years delivers the exact amount of medication I need to make all of the difference in my health.

I have been using Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy for years that I believe is safer than taking a prescription like Premarin. Also I have just started oxy cream for rosacea; my doctor had me on an oral antibiotic for years. This cream has allowed me to get off long-term antibiotics.

I am a 67 year old menopausal woman. I have been on H.R.T. since I was diagnosed as menopausal at age 41 with the confirmatory test of F.S.H. In the beginning stages of this journey, I tried over the counter medicines found in the Natures Outlet store or recommended by my gynecologist, none of which helped, even though there was no history of breast cancer in my family. Also my gynecologist had been somewhat hurtful and strong on her stance of the F.D.A. So since then my Primary Care Physician and his P.A. have supported me in any way to live a comfortable life. This also includes my compounding pharmacist. These previously mentioned professionals have listened and understood what it is to be miserable with hot flashes and night sweats. And by a hot flash I mean a burning inferno that begins in your chest goes over your body and washes the make up off of your face. Night sweats involve drenching your nightgowns and leaving you in a puddle in your sheets.
Even after being diagnosed with covid and being in the hospital for 6 days. The covid caused blood clots in my left arm arteries which in turn shut off blood supply of blood to my hand. I had immeasurable pain and in the long run my middle finger had to be amputated. I had previously stopped the bioidenticals due to blood clotting issues. After being on two blood thinners for several weeks, my PCP told me I could go back on my bioidenticals because feeling better and making a comeback from long-hauling it from covid.
I know H.R.T makes my life worth living, which hasn't always been the case.

I was experiencing problems with energy levels in the afternoon, that could negatively affect me at work. With this prescription, I feel my hormones are well-balanced and I have energy and focus. I hope you can find a better solution than removing these prescriptions. Thank you.
