For nine months, I felt like I was slowly dying. I didn't know what was wrong. I was put on anxiety/depression medication. This probably caused more problems. But it wasn't just mentally. I felt as if I had the flu every single day. It was impossible to live my life as it should be. I was fatigued, but could not sleep. Every day was a nightmare. I got to the point that if I did sleep, I didn't care if I ever woke up. Until going to see yet again a new person (Advanced Reg Nurse) for a new look at anxiety/depression medication. After visiting he suggested I get my hormones checked. I'm 55 and no one had thought of this before. Two days ago I started a cream compound for Estrogen and Testosterone and an oral compound for Progesterone. Already I can absolutely feel a difference. I truly can't believe it. I feel hope again. I want to live again. Being that this is very new to me, I still have so much to learn. But I'm begging, PLEASE don't take this away from us. I will tell you it's saving lives. I would not be here if I thought I had to live like I was before. Compound hormones are like a miracle for women.
