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.

“I had my children at the age of 40 and 43. At the age of 47 ...”

I had my children at the age of 40 and 43. At the age of 47 I found myself being quick to anger, overly sensitive, crying for no reason at all, had no desire for sex with my husband, needed lubricants for sex, seemed down, was not sleeping well. My mother told me about this treatment and within 10 days of being on the troches I felt back to normal. Then when I turned 51, I went through another change- going from peri menopause into menopause. I had issues with sex being painful and it being hard to come to an orgasm, bleeding continuously for months and I had my hormone levels checked and my script reevaluated and within 5-7 days my bleeding/cramping stopped. I felt pretty normal again. I suffer from NO NIGHT SWEATS, NO HOT FLASHES and I am enjoying sex with my husband again! This treatment has given m a sense of control over my health and overall well being!

“My hormones have always been out of wack but even more so af...”

My hormones have always been out of wack but even more so after menapause occurred. Sex was out of the question due to the sheer pain. About a month after receiving a pellet implant, sex was again an option and with additional diet/exercise and appropriate supplements, my whole mental and physical outlook was so much better. I'm truly grateful for the refferal given to me by a close friend.

“My pituitary gland is not working and I was depleted of horm...”

My pituitary gland is not working and I was depleted of hormones, making me lethargic, confused, and off-balance. I also stopped getting my period at age 33 due to this problem. All the medications my endocrinologist tried didn't work and had horrible side effects. Other options which included more tests and possible surgery were extreme, time consuming, and would have cost my insurance and me A LOT more money. Now I pay for my hormone therapy out of pocket, so am saving my insurance extraordinary amounts of money.

I started on compounded hormone therapy over seven years ago and it has changed my life! I feel healthier, I rarely get sick, my arthritis is non-existent, I have plenty of energy to work and my overall mood is enhanced! I have no need to take any prescription medication at the age of 52 because of what compounded HRT's have done for me! I don't know what I would do without them!

“Quite simply having compounded hormone therapy has changed m...”

Quite simply having compounded hormone therapy has changed my life and made it possible for me to function and live again, both before and after menopause. My life would be physically unbearable without compounded hormone therapy. Everything I use is prescribed by my doctor. I suffer from IC, (pelvic pain syndrome) Endometriosis, and a Lichens skin condition. Without this therapy I could not leave my house or function through the day (due to the pain I would have without it). Having this therapy was a game changer for me and other patients who suffer with these conditions. So many lives would be affected in a negative way if these compounded therapies were not available. Some IC patients I know cannot function without the suppository therapy on a nightly basis. It would be tragic if they could not get these therapies.

“I have used medicine like androgel,and got little improvemen...”

I have used medicine like androgel,and got little improvement on my testosterone levels. I tried other treatments basically same effect. Being that I am over 65, lower T is apart of normal life. My levels were bottom of scale. I started using compound treatment and my levels went up to a point I could feel like a normal man. I'm sleeping better, my weight has gone down, and I don't feel exhausted and lacking energy through my day. I also don't have any side effects as in enlargement in my prostate, my test have maintained a normal level. My doctors, here at home, and at Cleveland Clinic, have recommended this treatment to other patients with my symptoms.

Before I started using the compounded hormone therapy, I was extremely uncomfortable. Miserable, even. Everything else I had tried simply did not work. My resignation increased. Once the compounded hormone therapy was prescribed, and I started taking it, my quality of life has now improved dramatically! I am so thankful to be able to say this. I do not know what I would do without it.

Applying the Bi-Est and natural progesterone daily has improved my life so much. My emotions are stable. I can sleep at night. I don't have brain fog and I do not have night sweats anymore. I was severly affected by the synthetic progestin. It was equivalent to a sleep pill. I couldn't go to work the next day and I was lethargic. My body needs this natural supplement to fully function.

“I would not be alive with the pain I was dealing with that w...”

I would not be alive with the pain I was dealing with that was brought about by my OBGYN who gave me two does of Depo-Provera in under a two week time-span due to very heavy bleeding. This event ruined my live with 18+ migraines a month plus early onset menopauses (both know reactions to this medication). I have been on bioidentical hormones for 17 years (at 40 years old when I went through menopause) and I would not make it without them. The hormones have rescued me from the western medicine OBGYN overdose of Depo and I will stand against anyone who tires to take them! My late husband was on male hormones and his energy was restored. These natural hormones are a gift. I never plan to go without. If they were taken away it would be disaster for me and countless others.

Being a hormone positive breast cancer survivor I am greatly limited as to what types of therapies I can use. Manufactured hormones put me at great risk to feed the hormone positive cancer I had. Compounded hormone therapy allows my doctors to prescribe and monitor my health in a way that is safer for my well being.
