I am currently 59 years old. Since I was 10 years old, I have suffered from migraine headaches. Growing up and into adulthood, I virtually always had a headache. It was simply a matter of degree but they were always present. No doctor, and I saw many, ever was able to stop them. The best I could hope for was to reduce their intensity and nearly seamless frequency - and even when a change in medication offered some minor relief, it was always short-lived as my body would adjust to the medication. It was not until 2012 when I entered "natural-prescription" program that included compounded bioidentical hormone therapy that I finally got relief from the migraines that had followed me nearly all my life. Nothing had the substantial long term benefit that I experienced with compounded bioidentical hormone therapy. It was life changing and dramatically improved my quality of life. Additionally, and aside from migraines, a couple years prior to the commencement of my natural prescription program, in around 2010 I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Lab work and x-rays confirmed that my RA was severe. My Rheumatologist at that time placed me on some very painful injections which, while intended to relief my arthritis pain, also lowered me already weakened immune system even more. I simply could not tolerate the injections and they did very little to improve my RA symptoms. Fortunately for me, when I entered into the natural prescription program in November 2012, the physician administering the program prescribed me additional compound bio identical hormone therapy to relieve my RA symptoms. After starting my hormone treatment, my RA symptoms began to steadily improve. By the Fall of 2017 my RA was in complete remission and my Rheumatologist discharged me as a regular patient. I never had to return to the injections since starting the hormone therapy. Compound bioidentical hormones changed my life and it was the ONLY thing that offered me any lasting relief from my migraines and my RA. Please keep these much treatments widely available and affordable for people like me.
