“cBHT has made my life livable again. I can go grocery shoppi...”

cBHT has made my life livable again. I can go grocery shopping and visit a friend in the same day. Before, my life was ruled by pain and exhaustion. Normal activities were very difficult. I am a 73 year old retired teacher, and of course, I have bad days. Before Covid-19, I volunteered at the Arts Council, played bridge every Wednesday, took art classes and went to Pilates once or twice a week. That's quite a change from staying home and barely making it through the day. My body felt like it was electrically charged with pain. Sleeping was difficult. Sadly it was sleep I needed to combat the Fibromyalgia. I was exhausted and could hardly manage my daily and social life because of so much all over body pain. I was a very depressed crabby woman. My health is complicated. I have: Addisons Disease, Acid Reflux, Asthma, Coronary Artery Disease, Fibromyalgia, Osteoporsis, Osteoarthriitis, and Polymyalgia Rheumatic-a. I had Rosacea of the eyes and mites on my eyelashes. cBHT made those irritating problems disappear in a matter of days. Premerin did not help with dryness. Sex was impossible. I do not want to return to a time without cBHT, when I'll be like my grandmother. She was in pain every day in her later years. I have had wishes to die, just to get away from my body, the exhaustion and pain. Please don't shut down compound pharmacies. Women like me need cBHT to survive.

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.
