Before hormones, I was in severe depression. My life was over...

I went into menopause very early. I did not understand what was happening to my body. All I knew was that my emotions were on a constant roller coaster. For over a decade I lived this way. Every year I was worse. At 50 I could no longer function. I was in severe depression. The minute I woke up it descended on me. I sat and cried and struggled my way through every day. I could not sleep at night. I would toss and turn and be restless all night. My health is declining! I was scared of my future! I wanted to die. After having blood work done with my holistic doctor we found that I was literally living on no hormones at all. Then my experience with hormone replacement therapy began. I was able to have testosterone pellets as well as progesterone. Within weeks my life completely turned around. Now I wake up after a good night's sleep, my sex drive has returned, and I’m starting my own business. I’m in fear of what will happen if they take away the ability to have hormone replacement therapy! Please please please fight this!
