I have Hoshimotos disease. Doctors put me on a prescription that even over time did not help. In fact I got worse. I finally discovered compounded medications and have never looked back. Doctors generally don't want to support my compounded medicines so I had to look for one who did. I am the patient and I know how I feel and function... I would think that the medical field would support the patient, and listen to how they feel. When they say they feel better, believe them. We know. Without compounded hormone therapy, my life would be very different and I would not be as strong, active or involved in all the things I do in my life. I am grateful to have compounded hormones and grateful for my excellent provider! They are the best!
