BHRT has helped me in three situations, the first of which was nothing short of life-saving! After several years of testing for an unknown illness causing me to be in constant pain, exhausted, sleepless, and anxious, at the age of 44, I was finally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I was placed on Lyrica. My pain became manageable; however the other symptoms remained, PLUS, I noticed a delay in my response time while driving and trying to hold conversations with people. I almost wrecked the car twice. Since I REFUSED to choose disability or stop driving, I quit Lyrica. That stuff is pure, mind-numbing crap! Two different friends had recommended getting my hormones tested, so I decided to try it. My progesterone level was almost zero! My OBGYN tried to talk me into a Big Pharma Rx "Premarin" which contains pregnant horse (mare) urine. I was not going to put that into my body! I found a new doctor who understood my individual issue, and he prescribed my first BHRT compounded, plant-based progesterone. MY FIBROMYALGIA SYMPTOMS DISAPPEARED OVER A PERIOD OF ONLY TWO WEEKS! Eleven years later, and I am still symptom-free.
As menopause quickly set in, I began using BHRT plant-based Estrodiol for hot flashes. It works wonderfully and I do not have a high risk for breast or ovarian cancer.
Lastly, I am now also on a low dose of Nature-Thriod for hypothyroidism. When the Pharma manufacturer ceased production of it due to a temporary plant shut-down two years ago, the supply of Nature-Throid was depleated for most of that year. Thank God my compounding pharmacy was able to manufacture a replacement using the same ingredients.
Taking away the freedom to choose BHRT from me would end my active life. I am maintaining good physical condition, working out several times each week, and I am still employed. I refuse to choose disability and I will NOT put inappropriate Big Pharma chemicals into my body. I have the ability to be in remission from Fibromyalgia with BHRT, so in short FDA, back off.
