Hello, my name is Pat and I can't imagine what my health would be without compound hormones. I am a very active, healthy 73-year-old woman. I exercise 5-7days a week and am in excellent shape.
Back in my menopause years, some 25 or so years ago, I was grateful to my bi-estrogen/progesterone creams to help me through the headaches, dryness, and the usual menopause bodily reactions. I am one to investigate claims and not take anything at face value. So in the 80's I read the research that the estrogen pills many women were taking were causing breast cancer. That is why I took compounded hormone therapy which did NOT include the third estrogen that caused cancer. They worked well and I did not put myself at risk.
Fast forward (too fast), I am now a very healthy, active 73 year old with high cholesterol and osteopenia. I am taking a statin for high cholesterol and Alendronate for my osteopenia, both having potentially serious side effects; I plan on getting off of them. My fabulous Health and Wellness physician has prescribed these compounded hormones so I can stop taking these other harmful medications. These hormone compounds will also improve my nerve health from any damage caused by COVID. I have written to my senators and congressman to fight this battle with us.
With heartfelt thanks for fighting this absurd endeavor to rob Americans of a healthy, safe choice from harmful pharmaceuticals.
