I have been using compounded bio-identical hormone therapy for over 10 years. My quality of life has been greatly improved as a result of using them. I have osteopenia, and my bone density scans have improved since I've been using cBHT. My doctor is pleased with the results. My heart health is also benefiting by using cBHT. I am a strong advocate for using compounded products that are beneficial to my body. I refuse to take synthetic hormones and synthetic thyroid medications that have unwanted and unhealthy side effects. My doctor monitors my cBHT levels on a regular basis. Medicare and my secondary health insurance does not cover any of my monthly cBHT prescription costs. However, I am more than willing to pay approximately $150 per month out of pocket to experience the benefits of taking the hormones. I plan to continue using cBHT and hope and pray that the FDA does not restrict my access to them.
