“My hormonal imbalances were taking over every area of my life. None of my doctors suggested I get my levels tested so I found a compounding pharmacy on my own and got my life back.”

In my early 20s I began hormonal birth control as directed by my OBGYN and also oral medication for what my dermatologist told me was female-pattern hormonal acne. I tried several forms of birth control to find that I experienced a range of side effects with each one - side effects that were both physically and emotionally painful and confusing. The oral medication masked the cause of the hormonal acne but also came with side effects like dizziness, hair loss, and heart palpitations. I was never once advised by either office to check my hormone levels - just prescribed one thing after the next. I was so angry and frustrated, feeling backed into a corner all because I wanted to heal my body not just bandage it. I reached out to Pharmacy Solutions in Lincoln, NE in desperation but quickly learned I had found a place that understood my struggle and my desires for my health. I've never felt more cared for. I took a hormone test and sure enough, everything I was experiencing had an explanation and I finally felt like I had an answer and solution without medicating. The name of the compounding pharmacy is very fitting. It was the solution I desperately needed - my husband agrees! I have since treated various aspects of my hormone imbalances and have slowly regained my emotional and physical health back all because I had access to this compounding pharmacy.
