My hormones fell to menopausal levels when I was 28 years old. I had daily, debilitating migraines, shirt-soaking sweating, acne, hair loss, insomnia/inability to sleep, and dramatic mood swings. I wasn't able to lead a normal life. The compounded bio-identical hormones my doctor prescribed saved my life. Because of them, I've been able to lead a healthy and productive life for the last 12 years. Please, please, please do not take these away and destroy my life. I tried everything else - including various forms of birth control, and instead of helping, it made things worse. Compounded hormones are necessary for me.
