I am a 27 year registered nurse, working for Cleveland Clinic for the past 10 years. I was entering into menopause three years ago and had horrible hot flashes/sweats and my insomnia was decreasing my quality of life, as well. I worked with my family doctor who had me try many medications to help my sleep and nothing worked. My family doctor, Dr. Jordan Garrison at Cleveland Clinic, who is an MD and DO, strongly supports the effectiveness of cBHT compounded hormone therapy and promotes that this is far safer than taking hormone pills. Within one week of starting Progesterone and estrogen topical hormone creams, my hot flashes went away and I finally started to sleep, without insomnia. I have been on hormone creams for three years and my quality of life is dramatically improved with them. Minimal to no hot flashes, good sleep without insomnia and I am able to remain intimate with my husband without vaginal dryness. My risks of heart disease are far lower with the creams, than taking hormone pills. My doctor and I strongly support the safe use of cBHT and this is safely compounded by my pharmacist, Dan Karant who has been compounding hormone creams for patients for at least 15-20 years. These creams need to stay on the market, via prescription with my doctor and pharmacist, to provide safe symptom relief for many menopausal women like me. Please do not ban the effective treatment of these hormone creams.
