“Compound hormones help keep me healthy and safe.”

I am only in my 30s but for some reason, whether it be stress, genetics, or something wrong with my nervous system or adrenal gland, I produce too much cortisol. This causes my other hormones to be suppressed. This caused me many other medical issues, such as uncontrollable weight gain, sleep issues, excruciating joint and muscle pain, swelling of my feet and legs, migraines, flare-ups of my endometriosis and menstruation issues, and multiple other problems. After some testing, my doctors, who also specialize in hormone replacement therapy, put me on compound progesterone. It was a life changer for me. I finally had energy, I wasn’t having so many migraines or joint pains, I started sleeping better, and my legs and feet completely stopped swelling. Plus my cycles stabilized more with fewer flareups. I finally have been able to live a healthier more productive life, like a woman in her 30s should be able to do. Compound progesterone gave me my life back. It would horrible if our access to compound hormones were taken away. That would be taking away our rights to appropriate medical care and treatment for the many conditions we have the compound hormones help us live normal lives with.

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.
