I'm severely ill and disabled. I've been sick for years with no answers and recently learned that the illness was a result of a rare disease that causes me to be hyper reactive especially to food items. I've reacted to everything that's not bio-idetical. I take make bio-identical items. Here's the story behind one. I have hashimoto's. Half of my thyroid is dead because doctors missed the thyroid problem for so long. I need thyroid hormone to live. Without it, I nearly went into a coma and died. But every thyroid med EXCEPT THE BIO-IDENTICAL has caused violent allergic reactions. I need bio-identical medication! I cannot live without it! I repeat: I will die without this medication. The other medications are simply not an option! Please do not eliminate this much needed option for people like me who have so few things we can use. If you do, you'll be doing a huge disservice to the sick and disabled community. In a free country, we should have options! Do not take away resources from people who already have to fight for the treatment they need.
