I had a full hysterectomy, including ovaries at 43 years. It put me into menopause immediately. At the time I lived in Washington state. My surgeon prescribed me the manufactured hormones in the form of a patch. I had a terrible experience with that as I was allergic and it would leave red blotches all over my body. It also did not work, I was depressed, tired and irritable. I still had hot flashes and lost all sexual drive. I went years like that, miserable. Then I moved to Arizona and was told about the Medical spas here and the bio hormones in the form of pellets. I decided to try it as I was desperate for anything to help me. A few weeks after I received the pellets I started to notice a change. I had energy and I literally felt the darkness lift. 6 months later I felt like I was 30 again. I cannot imagine life without my pellets. I feel great, have energy, my sex drive is normal and I am able to live my life without fatigue, hot flashes and misery. Why would anyone want to take that away from women like me? I am outraged that the FDA is even considering this.
