I suffered from endometriosis most of my adult life and, several years ago, I was required to have a surgical procedure that drastically reduced my ability to produce hormones. I was fairly young at the time (mid-30’s) and, without bio-identical HRT (particularly, estrogen), I would be suffering from a myriad of health issues, including very severe joint pain, hot flashes, and brain fog, all of which affected my ability to perform my job duties as an attorney. Not having access to bio-identical HRT is incredibly alarming to me.
