I've been using bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for 2 years to deal with the many symptoms of perimenopause. I know for sure that it has greatly minimized my symptoms and improved my quality of life. I have energy throughout the day and no longer need to nap. I sleep better through the night. My mood is actually much better, presumably because I don't wake up exhausted and I actually feel like doing things during the day. Please don't restrict people's access to BHRT. It's very important to keep compounding pharmacies available to all who rely on them for BHRT and other medications that meet our unique needs.
