“Life Changer”

I am 50 years old and have been on bio-identical hormone therapy since my late 30s - with only positive results. I have Hashimoto's, Celiac Disease, and CIRS. I have suffered from my autoimmune disease since I was a kid and it had many side effects throughout my life. I never had a normal menstrual cycle, even as a teenager and in my 20s. I was unable to conceive. It was not until I was put on bio-identical hormones in my late 30s that things started to normalize for me - not just my period but mentally and emotionally as well. Now I deal with menopause and it is helping in different ways - hot flashes (which are truly horrible to experience and I have gone experienced a lot), and again mental and emotional stability. I have always been under a doctor's care who monitors me closely. I ask you to reconsider and not place a ban on these life-changing medications. For someone like me who has had many hormonal imbalances for decades, I need medication to maintain my health and basically allow me to lead a normal life. I hope these decisions are not being made to benefit pharmaceutical companies instead of the patients.

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.
