Hormones have decreased my chronic pain and improved my mood. Before starting hormones, I experienced a frozen shoulder which was one of the most painful experiences of my life. My doctor thought lack of hormones contributed to the development of that condition. Why in the WORLD would the FDA seek to restrict access to something that is beneficial to people? My guess would be because they are being lobbied to do so by companies who stand to benefit financially if the only option available to patients such as myself is the FDA approved option. Ridiculous and unethical.
