I started my menopause early in my 40, saw my GYN men Dr. and I explained what was going on with my body, He said, your to young for menopause. I have go back and ask him to do the blood work, and they came back positive, I had terrible depression, mood swings, crying not getting out of bed, there answers were to put me on antidepressants, and see a psychiatrist , that did not go well after a year of taking all this drugs I started reading about bio identical hormones, change my eating habits, exercise more and I take my vitamins. my body or metabolism does not agree with prescription meds, So I don't take any except for my thyroid meds. I been on compounding hormones for the last 25 years and I feel better and healthy than my counterpart at the same age I am 65 yrs old, people don't believed my age but I prefer to do and use my compounding hormones than take All the prescriptions meds my friends take, and they are in terrible health, I like my compounding pharmacy I can talk to them anytime I want.
