“I have hot flashes every hour with out these hormones”

I have hot flashes every hour with out these hormones and they need to be adjusted periodically by minute amounts. My body is extremely sensitive. I also have compounded T3 (thyroid hormone) and hydrocortisone. My body doesn't make these and the pharmaceutical equivalents (cytomel and cortef) make me rush and crash several times a day like taking speed. This leaves me bed bound as my body won't take that, my muscles won't move. I need compounded hormones to have any quality of life. Not all of our bodies fit the conventional mold. Those of us at the edges of the bell curve have a right to survive too. Big Pharma you have plenty of income you don't need to take this away from us to survive but we need this for our life and the pursuit of happiness in our quality of life.

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.
