I have been using compounded Estriol cream for 20 years for vaginal dryness and have been using compounded Estradiol cream for 5 years to raise my hormone levels that were lowered due to menopause. Both cBHT creams have greatly enhanced my life and have eliminated my symptoms caused by menopause. I have had no side effects either during the long time frames that I have been using them. My doctors have deemed them safe, which they have been as well as very effective. I am greatly concerned that the FDA & NASEM want to restrict the use of compounded bioidentical hormones on which I depend on for my health. I totally go the natural route and will not, and refuse to use pharmaceutical drugs such as Premarin because of the ingredients and the long list of dangerous side effects like cancer that accompany each drug. I definitely don't want the FDA or the NASEM to restrict the use of compounded bioidentical hormones. Without the compounded creams, my symptoms would return, which would greatly affect how I feel healthwise and would also affect my lifestyle because of this. In other words, my sense of well being would be altered detrimentally. Please prevent the FDA from putting unwanted restrictions on my compounded hormones. I am counting on Congress to do this.
