“I had a hysterectomy in my late forties and received convent...”

I had a hysterectomy in my late forties and received conventional HRT afterwards. Within a few weeks I started to feel bad, depressed, a lack of energy, and began to experience other symptoms that are "supposed" to go away with HRT but did not (like brain fog etc). After complaining to my doctor, who has seen the difference between patients on bio and patients on synthetics, he recommended that I try to change to bHRT. He did warn me that insurance usually does not cover it, but I was so miserable I decided to give it a try. Ever since then, I do not even remember that I am supposed to be post menopausal. I am healthy, still working full time at age 67 and have a better brain function and stamina than many of my, much younger co-workers. Also, I have a genetic tendency for Osteo, but over the years the decline is negligible inspite of my sedentary (i.e. office work) lifestyle. I do not know what I would do if I could not have access to my bHRTS. It would be devestating for me.

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.
