“I have Hashimoto's and take T3T4 Thyroid hormones.”

My journey started 7 years ago. I woke up one morning and my hands and joints were swollen. I when to urgent care and was referred to a rheumatologist. They determined I didn't have arthritis but had no clue what my problem was. I choose to see a Naturopath. I had determined that I had a thyroid condition and adrenal fatigue. After some blood work the naturopath said you are correct. It took over three years to discover that my body doesn't convert T3 to T4 and pig hormone Synthroid didn't work for me. We finally decided to try a compounded pharmacy. It has been the best thing for me. My Hashimoto symptoms are so much better. This is one of those times when western medicine doesn't work and I need doctors who could think outside of the box to help me. I know that I wouldn't be able to physically function if I couldn't take my compounded T3/T4.

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.
