HRT saved my life, FDA continues to try and take my life away.

“HRT saved my life, FDA continues to try and take my life away.”

I rely on compounded testosterone HRT in order to continue my gender transition. I am sadly allergic to some oils and the FDA crackdown on compounding has made it so that I must only buy commercial cottonseed oil, which costs up to three times as much as testosterone compounded in sesame seed or grape seed (which is no longer allowed; and the only other compound that won't cause a reaction).

It's only getting more difficult for me to access the care I need, which should very well be the antithesis of medical care in America. That said; I refuse to die until things are better for the transgender community and that IS a threat.

Hear their stories. Protect their own words. Protect their access to compounded medicines.

On this page, we can only touch on the data that demonstrates the importance of compounded medicines to the lives of millions of people in this country. While the decision to take this vital therapy from patients and physicians might be profitable for big pharmaceutical companies, it will be disastrous for the millions of patients that those same pharmaceutical companies cannot serve!

We encourage the appropriate committees in both the House and Senate to hold hearings on this critical issue.
