“HRT changed my life”

I went through surgical menopause at age 40 and was prescribed birth control pills as hormone replacement. Over the next 7 years I developed increasing healthy issues that my doctors struggled to diagnose. I suffered significant fatigue. muscle soreness, headaches, and severe digestive issues. the symptoms were so bad that it was affecting my ability to work. I finally met a doctor who suggested the problem might be hormonal imbalance and prescribed compounded natural hormone replacement. Within 30 days my symptoms dramatically improved and with in a few months I was feeling nearly my old self.. The fatigue was gone, my dry eyes were gone, my muscle pain was gone, my brain fog cleared, and my digestive issues improved. Now that I am at the age of menopause I am slowly going off the HRT, but I am so grateful to have had it. It literally changed my life - allowing me to continue working and take care of my family.
