Menopause PLUS!

“Menopause PLUS!”

At age 50 my periods stopped. I began bioidentical hormone replacement which eliminated many of the typical symptoms which were greatly affecting my job performance-- brain fog, low energy, etc.

In my late 50s I altered my dose to mimic the 28 day normal female cycle. To my great amazement, I was inadvertently cured of my Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) that had plagued me from puberty. This is considered an uncurable illness and it is extremely painful and debilitating. I had tried every treatment under the sun for decades to minimize my HS with very little success. I will NEVER stop taking this rythmic HRT supplementation. I will NOT go back to having HS with its embarassing groin and buttocks deep, excruciatingly painful cysts! HS is a progressive disease with stage III leading to death sometimes. Furthermore I have had much cancer death in my family so I will not take synthetic off the shelf hormones.

I understand the pharmaceutical industry opposes compound hormones because there is no off the shelf prescription, but must be custom blended, so they have no way to profit. Shame on them for trying to prevent this remarkable miraculous alternate therapy.

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.
