First, I feel bioidentical hormones are better than synthetic hormones for my health. Hormones changed my life. I was feeling depressed, I would get very angry at work and would snap at my co-workers for no reason. My hot flashes would interfere with my work. Not getting a good night's sleep affected my work performance as well. I find it frustrating that insurance companies do not cover bioidentical hormones, since they are better for you.
