I just turned 59. 1 started having Fibromyalgia symptoms as a small child. I started having terrible insomnia when I was in high school. I had difficulty getting pregnant. I had acne that I never grew out of. Several years ago out of complete desperation I went for hormone replacement. I currently take thyroid that is compounded just to my personal needs. I have only in the last couple years started taking estrogen. But have taken progesterone for several years. My overall health is the best that it has ever been. I feel better than I have ever felt. I have hope. Without the hormones, I would have possibly ended my life by now. I have chronic pain that will never go away. With the help I get from the hormones, the quality of my life is so much better. The bio- identical hormones have saved my life and given me hope.

I initially used testosterone that was manufactured by a drug company and the cost was great. I switched to a compounding pharmacy. It was less expensive which allowed me to continue my therapy and I believe the compounded medicine was as effective or possibly more effective.

Has been life altering. I am 59. I have had chronic pain, insomnia, infertility, acne, crushing fatigue etc. My whole life. My experience has been life changing.

Suffered from depression and anxiety. Horrible sleep and excessive weight gain even with dieting and exercise. These medications took 90% of all those problems completely away. Being at such a young age having the testosterone of an elderly man creates huge risk for lots of different health issues. Being able to get a compounded medication is very very important to me.

After 25 years of suffering with anxiety and insomnia, I am mostly free of both. I don’t think I could ever go back to living without cht as my quality of life has improved so dramatically. If the government disallows its use, there will be millions of sick, depressed, anxious people in this country. If this therapy didn’t work, we wouldn’t be using it at a great expense to ourselves!

During menopause I started having trouble sleeping . I would wake up during the night numerous times with hot flashes . I soon became very tired and irritable! I would also have hot flashes during the day when I was trying to work. I had to wait months before I could get into PA who could prescribe Biest cream. I felt like a new person. I could not believe the difference it made. I recently drove 9 hours to babysit my grandkids for 5 days. Unfortunately I forgot my prescription at home. I could not believe how irritable I was without it. I felt bad that I was not as patient with the children like I normally am. I cannot imagine not having access to my prescription that is formulated just for me. I have been on my current prescription for probably 5 years.

Since childhood, my level of energy has always been low. Afternoon tiredness, difficulty concentrating and lack of focus. This continued into adulthood and also included inhibited libido. I tried many over-the-counter supplements but those are not regulated and not standardized. The first time my hormone levels were tested, my testosterone was 11. Not only did this put me on the path to improved health, it released a large burden and helped explain why my energy and libido were low for so many years. I began a regimen of various bio-identical hormones and my quality of life has improved significantly. I have more focus, more energy and normal libido. Every patient is different in their chemistry and physiology. Each of us, including those deciding this matter, would benefit from a specialized formula for all types of conditions that do not necessarily respond to traditional, dosage-regulated medications. When properly regulated and formulated by a specialist, compounded medications prepared by a pharmacist with expertise in this area, provide relief that cannot be found elsewhere.

Before cbht I would wake in the middle of the night, every night, soaking wet from night sweats. It was as if I had had a large glass of water poured over me. I would have to change to dry pajamas, and sleep on a towel. The night sweats stopped as soon as I started cbht. What a wonderful change for my life. I am also able to think more clearly. I don't feel like a scatter brain, and it keeps away the emotional ups and downs. I really like having a brain that functions properly. And, I also enjoy having a healthy sex life. I really, really don't want to lose that. And I don't think the man I live with wants me to either. I am very, very happy with the cbht in my life. Please ask the FDA to keep their hands off my hormones. Please ask them to not change the lives of millions of Americans who are very happy, and more healthy, physically, and mentally, due to cbht.

Menopause gave me hot flashes, mood swings, inability to sleep, depression. Taking cBHT has caused a vast improvement in all of these areas.

It keeps my hormones balanced and gives me quality of life. I have better mood energy. Muscle mass is stronger with my exercise. This is helping pelvic floor issues that nothing else has helped. I have no ovaries and need the small daily dose my prescription cream provides.

I discovered, years ago, that taking a more natural approach to my health care was most beneficial to my overall well-being. The compounded estrogen cream and Natural Thyroid medicines have made a big difference in my emotional health even during my most stressful and depressing times.

Before starting on HRT I was experiencing significant weight gain going from 125 to 150 within a 6 month period after I got a hysterectomy. I have been a life time exerciser and still am and have a healthy eater. I'm also a certified health coach. Neither exercise of healthy eating was able to stop the weight gain. Eventually the frustration lead to emotional issues and marriage issues so I went to see an MD specializing in holistic medicine to check my hormones. My hormones were so out of balance with nearly zero estrogen and progesterone and very low testosterones. At first I tried natural products and over the counter products which didn't help. Once I started on the compounded hormones I started feeling like myself again emotionally and my quality of life improved significantly. I try to stay as natural as possible with food, supplements and medications so compounding is the best option for me. I stay on top of all my screenings as well and there has been no problems. At my age quality of life is everything.

cBHT provides my thyroid with essential hormones which help my body function normally. I need cBHT for my health and wellbeing.

My hormone replacement therapy has lessened my bladder infections. At one point I stopped using the estrogen cream, and my bladder infections came back. Using the cream again, I am not having the infections.

Following a full hysterectomy, I had no success with conventional estrogen treatments. My GYN prescribed Estradiol drops, compounded. This was in 1992, and I am still using them today. Since 1992, I have had 2 bad falls and sustained no broken bones. Attending physicians said my bones were in remarkable shape, and attributed it to the Estradiol treatment. I am currently seeing an orthopedic surgeon for hip and low back issues. He tells me my hips are in remarkable shape for my age, 73 years old. Without my Estradiol, I have headaches and lack of energy. They are essential to my daily lifestyle. PLEASE do not take them away from me!

I needed to get progesterone injections to help maintain my pregnancy and prevent preterm labor. Pharmacy Specialties in Sioux Falls, SD provided easy and quick access to high quality compounded progesterone and helped me sustain my pregnancy!!

I experienced perimenopausal symptoms that were negatively impacting my life and relationships. Thankfully my doctor prescribed compounded bioidentical hormones (cBHT), which was a lifesaver!
cBHT is an essential medical therapy for millions of women who suffer the debilitating effects of hormone imbalance. For these patients, compounded hormones aren't an alternative to manufactured hormones, they are the only available option.
I am so thankful for my prescribed cBHT!

I would not be taking HRT if it wasn't for them being compounded. The Hormone Replacement therapies made by synthetic means are dangerous.

I had previously used HRT via oral pharmaceutical route with ill effects. I went to an integrative physician who prescribed the topical hormone as well as compounded thyroid replacement. Those interventions made a huge improvement in my overall health and well being. My daughter had a thyroidectomy and could not tolerate the synthetic thyroid hormone. She would not have made it without compounded thyroid and alternatives to pharmaceuticals. My husband is currently on a very specific compounded thyroid hormone and it has made a significant improvement over Synthroid. He has been on the compounded hormone for years and doing very well.
