Compounded bioidentical hormone therapy miraculously took me from an increasing blood pressure scenario and mood swings while on typical prescription hormone therapy to a lowered blood pressure, more peaceful and even emotional status. This improvement decreased worry and anxiety and feelings of shame (when I acted out due to effects of prescribed FDA approved hormone meds). My quality of life has been stabilized and is extremely good- smooth moods, increased bone density, stable blood pressure, better sleep, and better thinking. I am confident and happy in my aging process and confident in my compounding pharmacists and caregivers- they are watching out for my overall health and well-being.
