In addition to bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, which has given me my life back (I cannot take the drugstore variety), I have to have my thyroid meds compounded. There are trace amounts of gluten in the drugstore kind, and I have celiac and am also hypersensitive to even the tiniest amount of gluten. I was getting sick every morning, and I couldn't figure out why. Thanks to compounding, I am able to take my medication without issue. If compounding were taken away from me, it would destroy my quality of life. It would be abusive.
