I have been on BHRT since 1999. I was only in my late 50's, but my quality of life was so poor as I had been having severe perimenopausal symptoms since my early 40s.
The bioidentical hormones from compounding pharmacies under a hormone doctors supervision were the answer to my symptoms. I got my life back! I was once again able to have normal energy, clear thinking, absence of joint pain, mood swings, return of libido, and the general sense of well-being that I had lost.
I cannot even imagine my life as it used to be & compounding pharmaceuticals monitored by a hormone specialist is the key for women who share my same story. The good quality of life would be taken away from many, many women were these compounds not available.
