“menstrual migraines”

For years, I suffered from terrible migraines with my monthly cycle. Every month the headache would start and last for 7-10 days. They were relentless and affected my quality of life. We knew the headaches were hormone-related, so I tried commercially available estrogen patches. The headaches would always get worse. Come to find out, estrogen was not the hormone I needed more of, it was Progesterone. I saw an integrative medicine provider who suggested I try a compounded Progesterone, in a dose personalized for my body. I began compounded Progesterone and immediately, the headaches got better. Compounded Progesterone decreased my monthly migraines, and my productivity at work, and my mood returned to normal. I was able to stop several other medications because I no longer experienced weeklong headaches every month. Progesterone balanced my hormones and I got my life back! Please do not take this valuable form of medicine away from American women. We need Compounding Pharmacists to be able to continue to compound hormones for us. We will fight to keep our hormones personalized for us as commercial hormones do not offer women the doses their bodies need.

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.
