At the age of 40, my body started going into menopause. Compounded hormone replacement therapy completely changed my life for the good. Stopped that menopause in its tracks. No more hot flashes, brain fog, weight gain. Increased sex drive, and energy. No more dry vagina or painful sex.
Then the insurance stopped covering. Jump forward seven years, if full on menopause, symptoms so bad I could barely function. My insurance would only cover crappy one size fits all HRT. After two months on an estrogen patch, a giant cyst was discovered in my right ovary. I immediately had to stop treatment. With no other options available. Inability to even have sex, it was too painful, and destroyed my marriage.
