I had a full hysterectomy and almost a year later, I started experiencing severe heart palpitations. I had been to see my doctor a lot over the next year. They assumed I had a heart condition or anxiety. I was put on several different medications to help with this, but nothing worked. I even wore a heart monitor for a month 24/7. I was a mess! I finally made an appointment with an OBGYN. She did bloodwork and found out my progesterone levels were so low they did not register. She put me on 100 mg of the progesterone pill. This was in August and the pill did not digest well with me. My stomach was not adapting to this at all. She then gave to the option to try the compounded hormone therapy. I was a little hesitate to try but I had to do something severe insomnia had set in, sleeping only maybe two hours a night if I was lucky. She referred me to the Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy #1065. There I met Dan Karant. This man saved my life. He educated me on the compounded hormone therapy. I called him several times and he always took the time to explain everything to me. I came into the pharmacy before hours so he could educate me on the cream and the correct way to use it. After a month or so I started sleeping better and my heart was not racing anymore. Please do not take this medication away from me. I am sure there are a lot of women out there who could benefit from this too.
