Compounded hormones have greatly affected my health in a good way. I went through thyroid cancer treatment in 2007 at the age of 39 years old. Two years after, my body was put into menopause. I then found a doctor to help me feel better, all my hormone levels were undetectable. I felt terrible, trouble with sleep, sweating, no energy, brain fog, my joints ached and so many other things. I got started on progesterone and a compounded cream of estrogen and testosterone along with a couple of other hormones. It has changed my well-being drastically. I just recently seen a TV program about people being diagnosed with early dementia, as women begin peri/or menopause their bodies are depleted of estrogen a very important hormone for the brain. It affects your memory and thinking drastically. My well-being physically and mentally depends on these hormones to live a healthy balanced life.
