I went to my doctor feeling depressed, exhausted, and emotional, and just didn’t feel well and was starting to think maybe it was all in my head. I have been to doctor after doctor to try to find out what was wrong with me and after having my hormones tested, discovered I was in peri-menopause. My doctor put me on compounded progesterone and testosterone and after a few months, I could tell a huge difference in how I feel, giving me back the quality of life I was literally losing. BHRT gave me my energy back to raise my teenagers, be the wife I want to be, and manage my career as a bank manager. I believe if I had kept going down the path I was on, I would have continued to get sicker and sicker and more dependent on medications I didn’t need, but with BHRT, I was able to ween off my anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications. I love the way I feel and can function without negative side effects. Taking away BHRT would be devastating to my mental and physical health there’s no doubt.
