I have been on bioidentical hormones since menopause attacked me approximately fifteen years ago. The hot flashes, night sweats, and especially the insomnia disrupted my teaching and personal life. I wanted help to control these symptoms, but I did NOT want my body invaded by artificial hormones. I felt and still feel comfortable using cBHT. I am now in my early seventies and am still able to be very active. My bone density comes back perfect every year and often my general practitioner is impressed the blood work. I get blood work done every six months to make sure all the hormones are balanced. I am under the care of a very knowledgeable doctor. I am very pleased with the help the hormones provide to make my life more positive and active than it was before. They have really helped me maintain a excellent quality of life. I wish I would have known about them even before I began menopause. I am imploring you to not mess with compound hormone therapy.
