I started bioidentical hormones at age 60, after 8 years of Premarin (horse urine), to correct the negative side effects of elevating blood pressure, swollen ankles, headaches, etc. I needed support of my cardiovascular system and mental health, as I was dealing with a spouse who suffered a stroke at age 52. I was his full-time caregiver for 29 years. He passed at age 81 in January of 2019. I have had and still am having sleep and anxiety issues from the stress that lingers. My natural hormone troche remains essential to maintaining my health and well-being. I own and help my daughter in building the main, essential high-tech laundramat in our town, in spite of Covid-19. During my husband's stroke episode, we gave him cBHT also to mitigate the affects of medications and treatments to help maintain his quality of life. He was cognant and communicative to the end. I can't live without this compounded prescription for hormones, as well as the compounded thyroid prescription. I remain a useful, functioning member of society and my family at age 83.
