If my doctor hadn't seen my need for hormone replacement therapy, I would be leading a very unwell life right now. I experienced way more than just hot flashes. The lack of hormones had lead to overall bad health, adrenal fatigue, diarrhea 24/7, overall pain and that's just the start. I was only 38. Since beginning biodentical HRT, I don't have to make sure I'm within bathroom distance, the weight gain is gone, cuts heal normally, my hair has stopped falling out, my sinuses are much clearer, my joint pain is much less than what it was, and so much more! I feel well, and when you don't feel well you don't function well as a normal person in society. PLEASE don't take away my option of for a safe effective medication. It is more like what my body would produce. These hormones are better for me, instead of synthetic or horse hormones. I really feel like I would be full of cancer if I had to have the traditional hormone replacement therapy and not my compounded HRT. I am thankful for it every day.
