I have suffered from hormonal imbalances since the age of 12, I am now 47. As a teen and young adult I was put on synthetic hormones but they made me feel sick, impotent and left me too fatigued to go to school or function so I stopped taking them. They also gave me crippling migraines. Without compounded hormones I was left suicidally depressed. My periods were were so painful I could not work several days out of every month. I lost countless hours of productivity to menstrual pain and all of my 20s to hormone related depression. At 42 I was put on compounded hormones and it changed my life. No longer was I suicidal or depressed, my periods became manageable, I was able to function again instead of sleep for 12 hours a day. I regained my libido and at 47, I feel more feminine than I did at 25. I am no longer suicidal and I am rarely depressed, Please don’t take away this life saving, transformative treatment from women. Synthetic hormones do not work for all bodies and can make you severely sick if you are sensitive to them. We need this life saving treatment.
