“Life changing”

Over the past 3 years I was experiencing perimenopause symptoms and it took this long to figure out what was going on. I was on so many different prescriptions for different things.
When the hot flashes came I knew then I had to change my medication.
I spoke with my ob/gyn and they put me on hormone replacement but it was the patch and pill. Patch wouldn't stay on me because I'm having hot flashes and I live in a desert. Within the first hour it came off. My first thought was 'A man must of made this' to me there was not one single thought of how a women's body behaves in regards to the design behind that.
After 2 hours I was freaking out. I felt angry anxious sad depressed and overwhelmed more than I'd ever felt in my entire life.
It was too much.

So I switched over to compounding. I feel like I'm getting my life back. My life from 3 years ago. I wish I had taken this sooner. It's very important for women to be cared for individually for themselves. This isn't a one drug fits all. I also have psoriasis and noticed the patch irritated my skin.
There are no side effects from compounding which is important to me since I have an autoimmune disease.

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.
