I have suffered from hormone imbalance since perimenopause for about 18 years. My menopausal symptoms were so severe that I had been taking estrogen pill supplements for many years. These supplements provided some relief to my symptoms, but it was not until my new doctor did extensive testing and prescribed compounded hormones that my symptoms significantly improved. My brain function has greatly improved, and I feel physically better. Compounded hormones are an ESSENTIAL therapy for me, and I am VERY concerned that my access to that therapy might be restricted or eliminated completely. That is how essential I believe this therapy is to me, and how much I want to retain normal health.
