Prior to discovering hormones compounded based on my blood test, I was prescribed a medication that a 6 foot 200-pound man would also be given. I’m 5 foot four and I weigh 138. The medication, as so many of them do when you hear the commercials, carried a string of suicidal and side effects as bad as or worse than what I was experiencing. I took it and had all the terrible side effects and none of the relief. Due to this, my husband and I sought natural remedies, rotating through suggestion after suggestion every six months. Nothing worked. I could not sleep and be so exhausted I ended up causing a car accident. Although a friend suggested bioidentical hormones compounded specifically to my blood test years before, we didn’t think we could afford it because insurance doesn’t cover it. However, the accident caused increased anxiety on top of not sleeping and zero energy, so we decided to sacrifice other expenditures so that I could try compounded hormones. They worked! My compounded medicine provides the specific amount I need based on a fresh blood test every quarter. Since we all have different needs genetically ideally every medicine we put in our body would be dispensed this way. My quality of life is back to normal (which is great) after 10 years of struggling. Removal of this option is detrimental to my health and I sincerely ask you to consider my life experience because if genetics play a factor, and I believe they might, my descendants are going to need this. I remember a precious great aunt, my grandmother‘s best friend, who struggled so severely and ended up dying of dementia and I wonder what difference a compounded medication could’ve made in my lovely Aunt Nancy’s life had the in-depth blood test and compounded medication technology been available. There was nothing they could do, but there’s something you can do Please protect the future of this balanced medication disbursement, which has been a tremendous blessing to our family through my healing. And please contact me if I can be of further assistance. I can be reached through Triangle Compounding Pharmacy Cary North Carolina. Sincerely, Connie C Johnson
