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.

Ohio Loveland“cBHT has positively affected my life.”
cBHT has positively affected my life. Prior to taking this I was experiencing very low mood, anxiety, sleeplessness and general lack of vitality for life. At first my doctor wanted me to go on birth control and an anti-depressant. I did try this approach and it made things worse for me, my mood became worse along with my anxiety, I also experienced nausea. This experience led me to look into cBHT and I found a doctor who offered this. Although, I was a little nervous at first, I decided to try it. Wow! it has really helped me, I actually feel human again! I can sleep, my moods are so much better and I am calm. This is something that should be made available to women and men.

Missouri Kansas City“Please consider”
It has come to my attention that the FDA may be considering restricting access to compounded bio-identical hormone replacement. As a male who has suffered from hypogonadism since age 55 (now 75), access to this remedy replaced the testosterone I was so sorely lacking. The symptoms of extreme fatigue, low sex drive, muscle trophy, and the problem of my body converting what testosterone I did have into estrogens were all alleviated by troche administered testosterone and other estrogen damping compounds. All of this made available through compounding pharmacist by doctors prescription. Please consider cased like mine before any restrictions are made to this service.

Michigan Pinckney“It improved my general well being”
It improved my general well being. I felt more energetic and both my body and my mind were balanced. Having the prescription made uniquely for me made all the difference. I had been prescribed the over the counter hormones. They were discontinued for negative reactions. I feel I need these alternate choices and should be free to choose which is the best health choice for me as prescribed by my doctor. This loss would be a determent to everyone's choice of health care. Big pharmacies bottom line is profit. They should not be allowed to run out or incorporate every other choice we have for our health. Leaving us with their manufactured product only which is really no choice at all.

I tend to react adversely to synthetically produced hormones and other manufactured medications that are not naturally based. The compounded hormones I am on now are a must for me and I don't react negatively to them. If I didn't have this option I'd have no option.

Oklahoma TULSA“I had a lot of ailments that have improved...”
I had a lot of ailments that have improved over the last several years since starting HRT. I can't directly correlate all of the improvements to HRT but combined with a change in some lifestyle improvements has enhanced my quality of life greatly. I have to say that HRT has played an important role in this process.

Michigan Colon“I had a hysterectomy at a young age”
As a person who needed a hysterectomy at a young age, I had to give up taking oral estrogen due to the length of time I was on it (10+ years) due to negative side effects of oral estrogen. I replaced that with a compound estrodial cream that I use vaginally 3 x a week. Without that use, I would be experiencing painful sex and increased urinary tract infections. The FDA would be FAILING consumers if it were to restrict the use of compounded hormone therapy without considering patient outcomes. I for one would fight any restrictions that would impact my ability to rely on compounded hormone therapy!!!

California San Diego“Can Work Again”
Wasn't able to work due to concentration and memory issues due to Menopause. Bio-Identical hormones (estrogen & progesterone) got me back to work, supporting my family, and being a productive member of society. Synthetic hormones gave me such terrible side effects, I could not take. Bio-identical hormones benefit women, their children and their spouses--plus the workplace. Losing them would be devastating to all.

Indiana Bloomington“I went from bloodwork not indicating any menopausal effects...”
I went from bloodwork not indicating any menapausal effects to 6-8 months later having bloodwork showing I had zero testosterone, zero estrogen and zero progesterone with no drive for anything. I chose the cream because of the plant based compound due to the least amount of side effects.

Colorado Sanford“I started having seizures at 14”
I started having seizures at 14, when I was going trough menopause I couldn't sleep for days and my seizures increased even with medication. Two weeks after being on a hormone pellet I was able to sleep all night and my seizures stopped. My neurologist said my hormones were the cause of my seizures that's why when I was balanced they went away. I have always had seizures with medication and they have never found anything wrong with any scans. Please don't take this away from us, it was very hard not sleeping for days. If you want to speak to me, you can. I think you would be very interested in my story.

North Carolina Kenansville“I was diagnosed with lichen sclerosis”
I was diagnosed with lichen sclerosus when I was about 40 years old. I went through menopause early and suffered terribly for 20+ years. Finally, I found a doctor who had successfully treated LS with compounded cBHT. Within 2 weeks of using the cBHT my life changed. I had not had pain free intercourse in 20 years and my husband and I had not even attempted intercourse in 3 years. Today, we have an active, enjoyable, painless sex life. I am not in excruciating pain. In fact, I am pain free. My life has changed dramatically!! I need cBHT.

cBHT have been life saving to me. I have a thyroid issue. Take a compounded natural thyroid capsule along with progesterone which makes the thyroid medicine work better.
Also, have used biest and progesterone for years and have aged much better. Great skin, and hair and look much younger and feel much better than many of my friends.
I would be very angry if my bioidenticals were taken away after i have successfully taken them for many years. I am a healthy 80 year old.

Nebraska Omaha“Compounded hormones have been a blessing”
After suffering years of pain from endometriosis, I finally had a total hysterectomy at age 44. I don't know what I would do without compounded hormones. My body has never done well with birth control hormones and given all the frightening issues with synthetic hormone replacement therapy, my bioidentical hormone cream is ideal for my situation. I have been able to enjoy life again after many years of misery. I have never had any post menopausal issues thanks to my cream. Please do not curb or curtail compounded hormones for the millions like me who need them for quality of life.

For over 17 years I have relied on this compounded medication to keep me active, healthy and strong. I tried the patch, the synthetically produced versions prior to investing in time spent with a licensed dr/ professional, the labs to accurately prescribe, and ultimately blend and create the finished product. I know after trying these three very different products/methods, which one is worth my money and which I trust to be the best option for me, health wise. Thank you for considering my and other users opinions on this important matter.
