“Bio-identical Hormones saved me”

I’ve been on bio-identical hormones since I was 23 years old. When I was 22 a medical doctor mixed my chart up with another (elderly) woman and prescribed me medication to alter my hormones and endocrine system (when I didn’t need them) and sent me into an almost year-long estrogen crisis. I couldn’t sleep, had panic attacks daily, and was nauseous all day every day. My life was miserable during that time. Finding a bio-identical hormone clinic helped stop all of those symptoms within 6 months of starting the hormones, and my overall health has continued to stabilize and improve in the years since then. People need access to these services because they fill a gap in the interventions offered by other doctors/providers.

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.
