I have female sexual dysfunction. This poorly impacts my quality of life. The suppositories, creams and ointments that the professional pharmacy in Pottstown PA has compounded for me have drastically changed life for the better. I cannot imagine my life without them.

cBHT has changed my life for the better. No more anxiety or racing heart. No more sleepless nights. It has changed my relationship with my husband in multiple ways. No more tearful meltdowns. And our intimate relationship has improved 100 percent. I never intend to live without it.

cBHT has definitely improved my quality of life. It has enhanced my appetite, my sleep, and my mood. It helps with bone density and more.

I had to have a hysterectomy. I was not in menopause when I had the hysterectomy, but it began soon after my surgery. It caused so many problems. I had chronic UTI's, vaginal pain, itching, and I had difficulty sitting on my lady parts in a chair. My GYN doctor sent me to another GYN that he said could maybe help me. I am now on pellets that I get every three months, and I take bioidentical hormone replacement. I am back to my old self prior to surgery. I have not had one UTI since my treatment, and I have a normal sex life again as I have no more pain in my lady parts. I am so happy to have this option as it has changed my life. I don't know what I would have done without it except continue to live in complete MISERY.

“I have used compounded bioidentical hormone therapy since 20...”
I have used compounded bioidentical hormone therapy since 2008. At that time, I was going through a serious health crisis because my immune system was malfunctioning. I had suffered for years with severe itching all over my body. I tried all kinds of treatments recommended by some of the best dermatologists and allergists in my area. I was finally told by both disciplines that all they could recommend for me was to put me on an immunosuppressant drug for the rest of my life. At that time, I was 60 years old and working as a school psychologist in public schools. I realized that going on an immunosuppressant drug would probably be equivalent to an early death sentence for me. I knew that I could not go on living in my current condition and was desperate for some relief. I finally contacted a medical practice which practices conventional medicine combined with holistic medicine. After weeks of consultation and testing, I was found to have many allergies, sensitivities, toxicities, and deficiencies which had culminated in almost a total breakdown of several systems in my body. This type of medical evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment was exactly what I needed. After menopause (at around the age of 52), I had continued to have hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, etc., and was prescribed conventional medicine for hormone replacement. Even after taking those drugs, my symptoms persisted. Part of my treatment from my new doctors was finding alternatives to traditional prescription medicines which were not effective for me. I was fortunate to find a gynecologist in my area who had expertise in the area of bio-identical hormone replacement. Between the cBHT which she prescribed and the alternative treatments which I received from my other new doctors, I have been restored to good health and a wonderful quality of life. I am now 73 years old and very thankful for medical professionals who combine traditional and alternative medicines. Please do not take away the access to compounded bioidentical hormone therapy. It will drastically effect my health and many others who rely on access to alternative medical treatments.

Knowing that I have access to bioidentical hormones and am not subjecting my body to synthetic hormones, which have been shown in studies to have deleterious affects on the body, including inducing cancers, means that I do have an HRT choice. Without bioidentical hormones, I am unable to take HRT without feeling that I put my life at risk. Please do not take this option away from us!

I had breast cancer in 2008 which shut down my ovaries and truly effected my hormones. I have been taking hormone replacement therapy (testosterone and progesterone) for about eight years to balance out my hormones and make me feel better. I have a better quality of life.

I had my ovaries removed when I was 35 years old. Traditional pharmaceutical medications did not work for me and I went into a very deep depression. I could not work or drive. I heard about compound bioidentical HRT. Within 48 hours of my first dose, my brain turned back on and I began my recovery. I still take compound bioidentical HRT 25 years later and it has helped my mental and physical health all of those years. Without it I probably wouldn't be here today!

“I am a 65 year old retired teacher. My hormone journey began...”
I am a 65 year old retired teacher. My hormone journey began at age 48 when my gynecologist prescribed the birth control pill to help relieve menopausal symptoms such as skipped periods, 2-4 week-in length periods, fatigue, moodiness and brain fog. I had never taken the pill as birth control. After 11 months on the pill, I felt horrible and stopped taking it on my own. This put my body into a horrible state- multiple (10-12) hot flashes per day, inability to sleep, constant anger, worsened brain fog, a JOYLESS life. This went on for several years. With my experience using birth control pills, I did not want to repeat the HRT pharmaceutical route, so I began searching for alternative help. I tried many over the counter remedies to no avail. This led me to bHRT which changed my life! I am a completely different person! I am happy every day. I have energy and enthusiasm for life. My physical well-being has improved. My primary care physician recently had blood work done and it is the best it has ever been. My bHRT gynecologist monitors blood work to make sure that my hormones are balanced which is something my former doctor did not do as part of the HRT pharmaceutical approach. This therapy is extremely important to me. I searched out a trusted physician, I've researched, and I've been a responsible patient.

“I take Progesterone at night. It helps to sleep, helps with ...”
I take Progesterone at night. It helps to sleep, helps with night sweats, and helps with clarity. I have found no over the counter that helps. I take a compounded cream that changed my attitude from being intolerant, confused, and having major mood swings. I was a mess trying to balance my own hormones. A friend recommended seeing a hormone specialist. He took blood samples and found I was bottomed out on levels. After three months I started changing, skin changed back, and had gained weight I had lost. Now, after 13 years I am cutting back on both and am able to do that because we can change the "recipe" and balance. I see my doctor and talk about my changes and needs first. The over the counter didn't really show up on the tests.

Matching hormone needs to individuals' levels makes so much sense that pharmaceuticals would do it in a nanno second if it was profitable. I depend on this specific therapy and strongly support freedom to continue to mange my own care. The doctors and pharmacists who do this work are extremely attuned to improving health and longevity for their patients. Please do NOT interfere.

At 78 years of age, I have enjoyed the benefits of feeling younger and able to be more active without episodes of fatigue and brain-fog. I have more enjoyable times of intimacy with my spouse. 73 years old and I am in the bedroom, with greater frequency while under cBHT regiments. I no longer have painful relationships. I am great having the availability of OBGYN specialist, with a great compounding pharmacy locally in Mt. Pleasant. Please allow them to continue the much needed service to our village/tri-county.

My mind is clear and sharp, I have energy to work, take care of my family and get regular exercise. I have a high level of well being physically, mentally and emotionally every day. It would be devastating for me to lose access to bioidentical hormones. I used the mass produced hormone patch earlier in menopause without adequate symptom control and was able to switch to bioidentical hormones. I am so grateful for the opportunity to enhance my health and well-being.

I can attest that I have felt improvement taking the compounded drugs/hormones as prescribed by my wellness provider. She has monitored my wellness throughout my adult life, through two pregnancies (one of which I conceived thanks to her), and into menopause, which transition I hardly noticed. I am thankful to her and my compound pharmacist for providing the correct care for my needs.

I had horrible debilitating PMS in my 30's and 40's. Western medicine gave me no answers or options. cBHT helped and turned my life around. It helped with menopause and hot flashes. It keeps my hair, skin, nails, ligaments, tendons, connective tissues, etc. I am youthful again. I intend to use it until I die.
