I was 38 years old when I required a hysterectomy. A few years passed, and the process of menopause started. I am not an anxious person, but the hormone imbalance caused me to have panic and be overly anxious. I did my research and started the HRT. It took a few months but the meds were effective and I was back to myself, no anxiety or panic feelings, I was back in control of my life. Last year I began to have a burning/stabbing pain in my pelvis area, including my vagina and UTI. I was diagnosed with pelvic floor dysfunction. It was very painful. I saw a urologist and an OBGYN- neither specialty offered any relief from my disabling pain. I was able to find a urogynecologist that correctly diagnosed me. I started vaginal cream and physical therapy. I got my life back and was able to continue working.

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.
