“Bio-identical hormones saved my life”

My name is Misty Clare, I had a child at age 42. I am now 52.
After my son was born it forced me into stressed induced menopause. Although, I think all menopause is the pits.
I could not eat. I could not sleep. My thyroid failed. My hair fell out. ALL of my hair. Even my nose hairs.
It was the most horrifying time of my life AND I had a small child to take care of
Finally, I found a doctor to help me. It took several years to get anyone to acknowledge that something was very wrong.
My hormones were non existent. Causing thyroid failure.
Hot flashes, fatigue, anxiety that made me want to end my life.
My family had me committed to a psyche ward. Which only caused me more trauma.
When I was prescribed bio identical progesterone and testosterone I got my life back.
I’m youthful, happy, I workout everyday. I look like a 40 year old instead of a 52 year old.
My libido is great. That has saved my relationship.
If I had to go without my hormones. I would be an old, fat, sick woman.
But is that not the agenda for taking our hormones from us?
So that we have to run to the dr all the time with ailments. Feeding the pharmaceutical machine?
From what I understand NAC has been pulled. A SUPER antioxidant that helps the body in countless ways.
I would move to another country if that’s what it took to get my hormones.
