“I spent two years in the most pain I was ever in, in my life...”

I spent two years in the most pain I was ever in, in my life. Finally after going to six different doctors I went out of the area (500 miles) to a doctor that I was diagnosed with Vulvodynua, and I.C. Within one month of using creams, atropine, estradiol and amit-baclocen the pain subsided. Since I was remarried five years prior to this issue, hormones were a blessing in our relationship. Now I see an endocrinologist and I'm now taking progesterone, and do not need Ambien to sleep. I have severe O.A. and have three back fusion shoulder replacements coming up in a month. I am going to use hormones to build back or at least slow this progression of OA. Without compounds I would be alone and in a wheelchair by now. Please don't mess with these compounds.

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.
