“Compounded hormones saved my life”

Hello, I have a very long story that I will try to keep short. I am experiencing a severe Menopause that began about 10 years ago. Over time I began experiencing anxiety and depression. I also experienced dizziness and was treated by a neurologist for this with no relief. I was dismissed a lot by many practioners that did not know what was wrong with me. My life was halted. I was also not sleeping at all and trying to maintain my full time job as a physical therapist assistant. Jump ahead some time and on June 30th 2016 I left my job and did not return for 5 months. I ended up on disability which I hated. I was hopeless and did not want to go on. When I did sleep I wished to not wake up. Terrible! I found a practitioner that listened to me and put me on bioidentical hormones. Within 2 weeks I was feeling normal more like myself. If I have to go back to that I will not function and that is scary to me. Please do not take these away it will devastate a lot of people

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.
