United States
In the United States, millions of people depend on compounded medicines to live normal, productive, healthy lives. Their first-hand stories speak directly to the power of this important therapy. As the FDA considers removing access to certain medicines like compounded hormones, their voices must be part of the conversation.

Nebraska Omaha“I began having issues with birth control in my late 20's...”
I began having issues with birth control in my late 20's and ended up having to stop.
Several years later I developed issues related to hormones and took bioidentical hormones off and on to help.
Now at 46, I have very low levels of all hormones. I was accidentally prescribed synthetic progesterone which made me ache all over, feel like I had a bladder infection, and night sweats which I wasn't having prior, and even ran a fever. I also had some compounding pharmacies use fake hormone replacement cream and add the bioidentical hormones to it. This, again, made me sick sometimes with rashes and digestive issues.
FINALLY... I found a PA and a pharmacy that uses pure bioidentical hormones and I feel a thousand times better. I was bleeding through my jeans, in pain, not sleeping, bleeding for weeks, had anxiety and even panic attacks, suicidal thoughts, exhaustion, fuzzy thinking, bloating, weight gain and now... I have little of any of these. I sleep, I play, I can get through the day, and I am able to work and have relationships. My life is so much better. There are not words that express how much better I feel. I am getting my life back.

I would NOT be able to do my job without bioidentical hormones. I was so tired, my body ached all over, my brain was foggy, I couldn't have sex with my wife - my life was horrible. But, after bioidentical testosterone pellets, my body aches are no more, I can do my job and come home and work more, have sex with my wife, and think and sleep. It is all good - thanks to the testosterone pellets. I can't live without them!

I was in total disarray and my body was going nuts. I experienced weight gain, mood changes, anxious feelings, and hot flashes multiple times all day long. I feel so much more like a normal person. I don't want to go back to those feelings of my body taking over in any way that it wants.

Edsell H.
Ohio West Milton“I experienced extreme fatigue.”
I experienced extreme fatigue. Hormone testing showed high estrogen and very low testosterone. With coronary issues in my family I need to protect my heart. With testing every six months, I am able to keep my hormones balanced. My quality of life has improved 100%. I can keep up with my grandchildren and do not experience any fatigue and sleep has improved. Not taking compounded hormones would negatively affect my life and my heart. No other product can be exact enough to keep me balanced. I am thankful for compounding hormones.

It's tough to admit that you have a pelvic floor problem. When you do find a doctor who treats your medical issue and offers a solution that is reasonable priced and WORKS, it's a blessing. I'm no longer in pain, my husband is happy and our budget is not stretched to breaking. That's all great.

Pennsylvania Havertown“I have found the compounded medications prescribed by my doctor...”
I have found the compounded medications prescribed by my doctor have greatly improved my quality of life as a postmenopausal woman. In addition, the cost of my prescriptions are far less than what I would pay for a name brand drug and they are customized for what I need for my own health and well-being. I believe the FDA should carefully consider the benefits of being able to access treatment that is much needed. My ability to get this prescription should not be restricted. Thank you.

It is wonderful! No hot flashes, more energy, and totally removed the horrible discomfort of dry vagina. Removed completely all menopausal symptoms. I feel so much safer taking these because they are plant based so the emotion impact is positive too.

Texas Frisco“I started feeling really sick.”
I started feeling really sick. I would be constantly nauseous and throw up. I went to my primary care physician who did blood work and my triglycerides were 4500. I wasn't fasting but my previous years blood work was fine. I redid blood work fasting - tryglicerides 480. My doctor recommended seeing an endocrinologist. I saw two different ones. They both said change your diet. Really? I finally found a functionional endocrinologist who put me on bioidentical hormones. After three months my triglycerides down to 125.
