Until I was prescribed compounded hormones, I was ready to consider my life over. Even with children, grandchildren, a job I loved, and a passion for writing, I felt there was no point in living, no joy. Then friends convinced me to try the compounded hormones. Slowly, my energy and joy to live came back. My overall health improved, my bone density got better, and I began an intimate romantic relationship. Taking away compounded hormones would condemn me to death of all that I am. Please, commission a new, unbiased study but do not take it away.
