For six years I was unable to sleep. Most nights I only slept three solid hours...some nights not even that. This affected every aspect of my life: my work performance, my ability to take care of my family, my personal relationships, my weight, and even my heart. Over a period of several years, working with a doctor and a compounding pharmacy, we were able to find a combination of hormone cream and progesterone capsule to even out my hormones and allow me to sleep! Now I can get seven hours of sleep a night and everything about my life is better. I am able to take care of my family and be effective at my job again. I am convinced that compounding pharmacies are vital to my well-being.
