Before taking the compounding hormones, menopausal symptoms greatly impacted my life. I was irritable for no reason, completely lacked any sex drive and woke up drenched in sweat multiples times throughout night, making me exhausted the next day. The compounded hormones have made me steady emotionally and completely erased my hot flashes. I no longer wake up soaked and needing to change my pajamas multiple times per night. I would not take regular pharmaceutical hormones- I don't trust that they will be made to what I need. I urge you to allow compounding pharmacies to continue their great work, unobstructed.
