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.
