I had a complete hysterectomy at the age of 32 due to Stage 4 endometriosis. Because of the endo - I ended up having, in addition to the complete hysterectomy, a partial bowl resection, left ureter replacement and a nephrectomy of my left kidney. I was unable to save an egg to save my chance in hopes to become a mom. Without the bioidentical hormone therapy, I would not be as healthy as I am today and as a female all aspects of being a female (skin, hair, etc..) and quality of life would have been severely impacted if I had to go straight into "full menopause" at such a young age. PLEASE FDA do not take away the remaining awesome years from me. I have already experienced enough emotional and physical trauma. My hormones are what keeps me feeling like a "female" and normal.

Hear their stories. Protect their own words. Protect their access to compounded medicines.

On this page, we can only touch on the data that demonstrates the importance of compounded medicines to the lives of millions of people in this country. While the decision to take this vital therapy from patients and physicians might be profitable for big pharmaceutical companies, it will be disastrous for the millions of patients that those same pharmaceutical companies cannot serve!

We encourage the appropriate committees in both the House and Senate to hold hearings on this critical issue.

Explore our interactive map that demonstrates the importance of compounded medicines to patients all across the country. Filter these first-hand accounts by state to see just how vital compounded medicines are.
