About 20 years ago, I was going from internist to endocrinologist to homeopath to massage therapist trying to determine why everything in my body hurt. It felt like tissue, joints, tendons—you name it—were inflamed and stiffening.
Finally, an internist recommended that I get tested for hormone levels. I had a bunch of lab work done, and she wrote a prescription for compounded hormones that I've been on ever since. She also put me on thyroid medication.
My pain went away and has never come back, except for the times when my general-practice doctor has encouraged me to get off HRT and I've tried for more than a month. Each time I do, the pain recurs.
I have been on these hormones for about 20 years. They have been a godsend. I have never detected any side effects. I am now 69 years old and plan to stay on them forever, God willing they aren't restricted.
