I was constantly feeling like I was one step away from a nervous breakdown. I was not able to enjoy my marriage, my time with my kids, or my successes at work. I went to a private practitioner and had blood labs done and we discovered my testosterone was astronomically low, and my progesterone was very low as well. The doctor walked me through how hormones in the body work, what side effects could happen, the risks involved, and the importance of being dilligent in timing of hormones and check ups with her. After deciding which treatments would be best (testosterone pellets and progesterone capsules) we started at a low dose. Within about a week for the progesterone and a month for the testosterone, my attitude, energy level, ability to focus, almost every aspect of my well-being, was improved. I feel like mysef again.

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.
