My OB put me on HRT and it was not helpful. My post-menopausal symptoms were life disrupting. I barely slept more than three hours and I would break out in drenching sweats, etc. I asked him for the bioidentical and he balked!
I found a doctor who was willing to give me the hormone test to see what hormones I actually needed. She prescribed bioidentical compounded hormone therapy. My quality of life has improved tremendously.
Once again the government is attempting to interfere with women's health!
