“I struggled for years before starting this cream.”

For over 20 years I struggled with heavy and painful periods, thin nails that wouldn’t grow well, thin hair that fell out of my head easily and at certain times in chunks. For around 10 years I struggled with depression which the regular doctors kept trying to treat with antidepressant medications that would help a bit for a short time and continue to have to be increased. They were like a bandage that consistently needed to be upgraded, never fixing the wound, but covering the hemorrhage for a time.

As time went on, I gave up on the antidepressants. Over the next 4-5 years, I went to many doctor's appointments and kept being told my blood work looked fine and was basically told that all my issues were in my head. Finally, I’m 2021 I found a Specialist who tested my hormones using saliva and blood instead of blood alone. He prescribed me a compounded hormone cream and within a short time friends and family alike began to notice a change in my attitude. I had more energy and I was joyful again. I could smile and laugh and engage in life in ways I hadn’t for a long time. My periods began to improve. They are no longer excessively heavy or plagued with cramps. My water retention issues are far better. For the first time in forever, I have been able to shed some weight. I struggled for years to drop even 3 pounds and keep it off, if those pounds finally came down they would just pop back up again. Now, with the help of the compounded hormone cream, I have lost 10 pounds that I hadn’t even been trying for. I am very grateful for this treatment and the benefits it has brought to my life, and consequently the lives of my family and friends. It has probably been the greatest health blessing of my adult life. I am grateful to God for this treatment.

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.
