“Bio hormones saved my life”

I am a 50 year old woman and I have used bio-identical hormones for 3 years. In my early 40’s, due to a medical condition, I had a partial hysterectomy. I elected for a partial because I wanted to enter menopause naturally. Three years ago, i experienced the worst bout of depression in my life, I was having suicidal thoughts! As a mother of 5, this scared me. I visited my doctor who tested my hormones to find that my levels were flatlined. Knowing my extreme history of allergies to pharmaceuticals, my doctor put me on bio-identical hormones and I immediately felt normal. I gladly pay $125 per month to feel like myself! I’m not asking for insurance to cover the cost, I’m just asking to be allowed to continue a therapy that is working for me. It is likely the only therapy that my body can withstand.

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.
