I am a wife & mother to five busy kids ages 6 to 19. I had a hysterectomy & my only remaining ovary removed right before I turned 41 due to a mass on that ovary. I was in surgical menopause & I was scared of what future health hurdles I would encounter. My doctor referred me immediately to Pharmacy Solutions/compound hormone therapy. He said that is where I will end up anyway. I am thankful he was concerned about my quality of life & my health. The hormones are necessary for my bone health, heart health, & cognitive health. They also help with hot flashes & my irritable moods. Without this personalized medicine, I would not be able to enjoy life to the fullest, have a happy marriage, or be the present mother my kids need me to be. We live in the greatest/richest country in the world where we should be able to make decisions about our own health & also have the ability to have access to the best options for our health. My situation is very unique & not a one size fits all situation!
