I knew in my mid to late 40’s that something had changed and as a registered nurse l was blaming peri- menopause. My doctor had suggested antidepressants and anti anxiety medication but l was not a fan of those and felt this was more menopausal than depression.
I met Dr. Ayala on a visit to my regular doctor who referred me.
Dr. Ayala ran a series of tests but suspected l was experiencing a hormonal imbalance. I was angry a lot which isn’t a good thing with my job and was creating problems at home also. I was frustrated and cried a lot also.
I wasn’t sleeping either which just escalated things.
Dr. Ayala upon getting the results said l needed hormone therapy and the bio synthetic hormone replacement was safer.
It has been 17 years now and although we have tweaked the strength now and then according to lab results and how l am feeling l feel we finally found something that has kept me more balanced and essentially saved my personal and professional life. I feel these are beneficial and much safer than regular hormone therapy and l have had regular Pap smears without incidence.
Please don’t take this away from me as l don’t want to get lost again. I depend on this for my well being, sleep and balance.
My husband and family need me as l am now not as l was before.
