Completely changed my life...

Going through menopause wasn't just rough, it was a nightmare. Not only did I have all the usual symptoms of hot flashes, brain fog, insomnia, heart palpitations, etc., I kept gaining weight no matter my strict diet or exercise. I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. I had daily migraines. My family doctor tried numerous prescriptions to try and help manage these symptoms but to no avail. I looked, felt and moved like I was ready for a nursing home. Finally and miraculously, I connected with a doctor that actually checked my hormone levels and found they had dropped off way beyond normal for post menopause. Being able to have hormones compounded just for my body was CRUCIAL and I slowly started to gain my health again. Before HRT, I topped the scales at 175. Now, I'm 125. I bike, I hike, I move without pain and I sleep 8 hours every night. I feel fantastic! I honestly wonder if not for HRT, I might vary well be dead by now. On a final note, I'd like to mention that if you ban compounded HRT, you will not only be hurting the many women who have benefited from it, you will be hurting their partners as well because their sex life will cease to exist. Compounded HRT not only does NO HARM, IT MAKES THOUSANDS OF LIVES BETTER.

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.
