I have tried several different types of synthetic hormones. All made me ill. I had a total hysterectomy at the age of 40. After my doctor tried to stabilize my body with pharmaceutical HRT, I realized that my body couldn’t tolerate the treatment. I had migraines, body-wide aches and pains, severe mood swings, and high blood pressure.
I then found a doctor who specialized in compounded hormone therapy and I finally felt healthy. My prescriptions are made for my body. Through the support and knowledge of my doctor, my symptoms have disappeared and I feel so much better.
I have concerns that there is the threat to limit or take away access to compounded hormones. Not everyone can take the standard pharmaceutical hormones, nor the dosages they come in. With careful monitoring of my doctor, I am confident that she is doing what is best for me.
Thank you for listening and for your time.
