I started having symptoms of peri-menopause when I was in my mid to late 40s. I thought I was going crazy. I couldn't sleep, I was having horrible panic attacks and wild mood swings. I was constantly worried I would lose control and hurt myself or others.
I resisted going on hormone replacement because I was worried about the side effects I had read about. But my doctor reassured me that compounded hormones would be made specifically for me, at a dosage that would be extremely safe and effective. I agreed to try compounded hormones, and my life changed dramatically for the better in a matter of weeks. I no longer have thoughts of self-harm, and my other menopausal symptoms are far more manageable.
I shudder to imagine how my life would be without compounded hormones. Please keep this option available to me and to the many other that benefit from this life saving therapy.
Thank you.
