I have been using compounded bio-identical hormones for nearly three years. I've had no ill effects and have benefitted greatly from them. They helped with my night sweats and insomnia. My muscle tone has returned, and my body fat has decreased. They also improved my focus and my ability to control my emotions.
I cannot imagine going without this beneficial treatment, and I strongly agree with those who have commented that this overreach by the FDA into my personal health decisions is unwelcome and unacceptable.
