Early Menopause from hysterectomy...

I had a complete hysterectomy at 35 immediately throwing my body into menopause. I had hot flashes at all hours, fatigue, night sweats, depression, you name a symptom, I had it. I've tried most of the prescription hormone replacement therapies. They all had issues. Many were incredibly expensive due to limited insurance coverage. Frequently one or the other would be back ordered and I had to switch to a different kind. With my prescription at the compounding pharmacy, I can consistently and affordable get exactly what I need. Not to mention without the compounding pharmacy, testosterone isn't even available to women despite the clear research indicating it is critical part of the recipe for hormone replacement. Before you go banning something, please make sure you have a viable replacement. Too often women's health, especially reproductive health, takes a backseat to profits and gender bias.

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.
