“Compounded Hormones Saved Me From A Life of Misery!”

Hi. I'm Kelly, a 62 year old female who began using compounded hormones at the approximate age of 40, with nothing but EXCELLENT, IMMEDIATE and SUCCESSFUL results.

Within one month of going into menopause, I had gained about 30 pounds in the first 30 days, and I was a wreck! I cried incessantly and without cause. My marriage was threatened and life was MISERABLE! Thank goodness I had an older friend who had begun taking compounded hormones. She directed me to a doctor who ran the appropriate blood tests and prescribed the hormone treatment. Literally within a day or so I began to feel more human!

In the beginning, the hormones were provided in a cream form which you had to rub on various parts of the body. Today and for the last maybe 12 - 15 years, I've been fortunate to take the pellet injections and a single compounded capsule form of one of the hormones.

I do not use pharmaceutical drugs and could not well survive without the current hormone treatment, which by the way has caused NO NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS in the 12-15 YEARS OF USING THEM!

No man can understand the feeling that a woman in mesopause feels because they cannot experience the exact same thing. For any man to be in a decision making capacity on this issue is illogical and perhaps could be considered discriminatory.

The fact that the issue of limiting( or altogether denying) a woman's right to choose her form of hormone treatment is even in debate is undeniably ridiculous.

Doesn't congress have better and important things to do?

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.
