“I had surgical menopause at age 26.”

I suffered from endometriosis and had to have a total hysterectomy. I am now 46 years old and went through 15 years of not having adequate hormone replacement until I turned 40 and found a clinic that checked my bloodwork. That is when I found out there was no detectable levels of testosterone or progesterone in my blood and my Estrogen levels were through the roof while my Estradiol levels were low. It took one year to start to see improvements in my quality of life. I felt that I was done a disservice by my doctors for 15 years because no one bothered to check ALL my hormone levels. This is a critical therapy for women like me who lose their ovaries at such a young age.

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.
