I had a hysterectomy when I was 36 years old

I had a hysterectomy when I was 36 years old. Post surgery, I was always tired, moody, and had decreased libido. I started on traditional hormone replacement and experienced headaches, nausea, and other unwanted side effects. My gyn at the time started me on compounded HRT, the dosing based on hormone levels in my bloodwork. Compounded HRT allowed me to get exactly what I needed and nothing else. My dose has been reduced as I aged, reflection what would naturally happen to me without a hysterectomy. I am now 67 years old, with a wonderful quality of life. I am active (run half-marathons), remain happily married, and accomplished career goals after my surgery that I know would have been almost impossible without the support of this medication.

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.
