“cBHT is vital to being able to support myself”

In 2019, I forgot to refill my prescription for bioidentical hormones (testosterone and progesterone). Within two weeks, my short-term memory was demonstrably impaired. My co-worker expressed serious concern about my forgetting to complete important tasks from the previous days. In over 25 years of working, I have never been reprimanded like this.

However, a few long weeks later, I realized that I hadn't been taking my hormones and immediately refilled the prescription. Within a few days, I was back to normal, able to function at a high level again. The difference was Profound.

There have been small lapses since then and each time, the change in my brain functioning is clear. I would prefer it wasn't the case, but I truly need cBHT to maintain my quality of life.

To reiterate, I thought I was losing my mind. I even went so far as to doubt I would be able to hold a job at my level anymore (business and marketing consultant). Now that I am getting divorced and my ex is unable to provide any alimony, I have to work to just survive. My ex's behavior burned our substantial future savings.

Please continue to allow me and others to benefit from compounding hormone therapy. It is crucial to me.

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.
