Not living in Hormone Hell anymore!!

Back in 2001, I had turned 50 and weighed 40 lbs more than I do now. I had severe PMS (hot flashing every other nano-second and night sweats), severe Perimenopause, (too much estrogen in my system and no progesterone) and, sleep apnea (77 episodes of not breathing). Had a C-Pak machine for night, but it was horrible sleeping with it. My Gyn kept giving me stuff to try, but it only made it worse. Finally, went to a Naturopathic Dr. and tried compounded hormones. Over time, my weight went down, sleep apnea went away, my moods were better and I started taking Pilates classes to get back into shape (I was always active before hormone hell). I just turned 70 in May and have been teaching Pilates for over 17 years. Between being now evenly balanced hormone-wise and in great shape, life is good again! FDA: PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY COMPOUNDED HORMONES AWAY. IT GIVES ME QUALITY OF LIFE!!

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.
