“Menopause at 41.”

My name is Autumn, I had to have a partial hysterectomy in 2014, I was 31 years old. I had incredible large amounts of uterine fibroids, endometriosis and pcs. This surgery was a year after I had my 2nd son. He was born with many special needs too. Fast forward to October 2022 my ovaries and all the metastatic endrometriosis that continued to grow in my abdomen post hysterectomy, had to be removed. I suffered every day until October, much pain impacted life. I am now in menopause, luckily I was able to come off my psych meds with my psychiatrist help. Turns out I had been misdiagnosed with bipolar since I was 14, thanks medical system and fda. Over medicated contributed to weight gain and many more life long problems. I have autism and trauma I am working through and severe anxiety from menopause. I won’t take psychiatric meds. I can’t take estrogen or many other hormones non bio identical as it raises my blood pressure which is being watch, I have a thoracic aorta aneurism, so high blood pressure is not a good thing. My Obgyn thinks the Biest will help and be safe. Please don’t make this more difficult to get. But both our boys are special needs and I am trying to work as an artist, husband barely makes enough money too. I need help.

We encourage the appropriate committees in both the House and Senate to hold hearings on this critical issue.
