Before compounding hormones, my health was on a decline.

“Before compounding hormones, my health was on a decline.”

My symptoms started when I went into menopause 7 years ago... when I lost my hormones, I also lost my ability to sleep. It was very serious, I was becoming diabetic despite eating well, not consuming sugar, limiting carbohydrates, and exercising. My cholesterol shot up to over 300. I was gaining weight for the first time in my life. I was only sleeping about 3 hours a night even though I was in the bed for 9 hours. I started taking bio-identical hormones last May and I am now sleeping about 7 hours of good quality sleep a night and all my body functions are steadily improving. I can also say that if it weren't for the bio-identical hormones I don't think I would have lived much longer, and surely not in good health.

Hear their stories. Protect their own words. Protect their access to compounded medicines.

On this page, we can only touch on the data that demonstrates the importance of compounded medicines to the lives of millions of people in this country. While the decision to take this vital therapy from patients and physicians might be profitable for big pharmaceutical companies, it will be disastrous for the millions of patients that those same pharmaceutical companies cannot serve!

We encourage the appropriate committees in both the House and Senate to hold hearings on this critical issue.
