“I started having a very hard time sleeping in my early 40's....”

I started having a very hard time sleeping in my early 40's. Sleep is everything. Lack of proper sleep has been shown to advance Alzheimer's disease, affect insulin levels, increase anxiety, and affect the body's ability to heal. I refuse to take any FDA drugs for sleep that have clearly dangerous side effects of making me want to kill myself or other people. My hormones have given me back my ability to sleep peacefully at night. I have not experienced any ill effects of my hormone levels being at a healthier level than that of a typical 53 year old woman who would normally be overweight, be pre-diabetic, have nasty mood swings, horrendous night sweats, and have their hair falling out. It's disgusting to me that the FDA wants to eliminate my ability to choose a safe alternative to the myriad of dangerous drugs that I would have to take to try and duplicate what my natural hormones already do, and safely.

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.
