Before I began using cBHT hormones I could not sleep through the night. I had hot flashes throughout the day and night sweats at night that caused me to have to get up and change the sheets and my pajamas quite often. This was exhausting!! As a result of my lack of sleep, my immune system was much lower than it is now. I got sick all the time! Since I have been on the hormones, I have not been sick at all!! I had migraine headaches which were very debilitating and I was depressed often. It was hard to see the light and hope and purpose in life! Six years ago I developed adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulders) in both shoulders simultaneously which was not caused by injury or chronic tension build-up. It happened quite suddenly and was precisely at the time I was not having a period anymore. Menopause was in full swing! I knew I needed help and am so glad I found a couple of naturopathic physicians who tested my hormone levels and knew just what I needed. Once I began using the compounded creams, my hot flashes and night sweats went away, I began to sleep better and eventually through the night. My moods improved and I began having less depressive thoughts and dark days. I had hope again and life had meaning!! My pain and range of motion gradually improved in my shoulders with some myofascial release therapy and physical therapy exercises which hadn't helped nearly as much before the creams were started. My parents both suffer from osteoporosis and so since I am genetically predisposed, I am so glad I am able to use the compounded hormones to prevent that from happening in me! My Dad has suffered multiple fractures from that and it is difficult to watch him go through that! I am so grateful for what they have done for me!! I certainly hope we continue to have free access to these wonderful remedies!
