“I was postmenopausal and was having problems in every facet ...”

I was postmenopausal and was having problems in every facet of my life. Sleeping, sex, emotions, hair loss, dry skin, depression and hot flashes. My husband made an appointment with my gynecologist for me. Had blood tests and my hormones were compounded for exactly what I needed. At first I was tested once a month and then three months and then six months until I had the dosage perfect. I couldn't have survived through this period without these hormones. I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Pathology reported it was not hormonal related. At that time I opted to only stay with progesterone and thyroid. Now both of those are tailor made for exactly what my body needs. I wouldn't sleep and have to resort to sleeping medication without the progesterone.

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.
