I had been feeling tired and had low energy. My doctor prescribed topical testosterone, and I have experienced an improved quality of life. I have been using the topical testosterone for a little over two years. I hope to continue the use of this therapy.

It has kept me balanced and is a preventative measure for me. I have a uterine lining buildup. It helps prevent cancer.

My doctors, both MD and ND, have both prescribed bioidentical hormones which have provided me with relief from hot flashes, extreme muscle aches, low energy, sleep difficulties and libido issues. I would appreciate having the option of using medications that are matched to my body and are not a one-size, artificial option from large pharmaceutical companies. Options should be the key. Please do not take away something that works so well with no bad side-effects.

I've been using progesterone cream and Biest drops for six years. It's changed my life dramatically. I take an extremely small dose - just enough to ward off the negative affects of menopause. By using cream and drops, I can increase or decrease the dosage according to my symptoms. Cream and drops are also much easier on my liver. My sleep dramatically improved, eliminated middle of the night hot flashes and has balanced my mood. I feel at ease using compounded natural hormones. I don't want to use synthetic medication. I have to pay out of pocket and it's absolutely worth it.

I have been using this for more than 30 years since I went through menopause. I am now 80 years old and my husband and I are able to enjoy a sexual relationship that matches what we used to enjoy before menopause. I also often have people tell me I do not look my age.

Since using BHRT I have more energy, feel stronger, and less tired. It is supposed to help my heart, too. Also it has reduced my glucose blood levels. Men need this more as they age to keep strong. I am able to work and make money. Please don't restrict this therapy.

16 years ago I was very messed up, crying for no reason, depressed, couldn't think right, tired, and hot flashes. EVERY menopausal systems there is, I had. I realized it was menopause and I started researching what I could do. After trying other things I learned everything there is about bioidentical hormones and having been using them DAILY for 16 years. They are safer then what the FDA has approved for use such Premarin. I have never felt better in my life. Please do not take them away. They're compounded for each person of natural ingredients. They are amazing.

I had severe menopausal symptoms and cBHT has allowed me to minimize the symptoms which allows me to carry on with life more normally. I used to have hot flashes all day long and wake up with night sweats multiple times a night, as well as feeling as though I was in a fog. Since taking cBHT, I feel more like myself and do not have the side effects I used to get (headaches) when taking synthetic hormones.

It has helped me tremendously with vaginal dryness and overall well-being.

I am 72 years old and the hormone treatment has changed my life. Every other day I do an hour of weight training. On the alternate days, I do three miles of walking and running on my treadmill, or outside. My quality of life has greatly improved. I had prostate cancer and my oncologist started me on hormone therapy as part of my treatment/recovery. Please, don't take this away from me.

Compounded bioidentical hormone therapy changed my life. Not only did I have horrible physical symptoms going through menopause but I was also experiencing extreme depression. Customized hormone therapy has changed my life and I have felt terrific.

I cannot say enough about how this has improved my quality of life.

Before having hormone replacement cream I had debilitating migraines weekly, affecting my job. Within a short time I was down to one in three months. And eventually only a few in a year. This greatly enhanced my quality of life.

It has kept my skin looking younger, it eliminated dry vaginal canal, and hot flashes.

I tried regular hormone pills and I could not take them due to the inert ingredients in them that made me sick, so I started on compounded hormones and felt much better. It is worth it to me. If you just take away this option, many, many people who cannot tolerate regular medical hormone pills will get very sick. Also, if you just stop compounding pharmacies from providing them, even more people will get sicker as you cannot just STOP taking any kind of hormones as one needs to wean off of them properly no matter where they come from. I think the fact it is even being considered is so wrong for the folks who depend on these. There are people with allergies to the regular pills and folks who cannot tolerate the ingredients and folks who simply prefer a healthier version. Please do NOT take this away from us!! My body will not be able to handle it. My Compounded Pharmacy takes great care in what they produce and I trust them whole heartedly. I NEED to stay on the cBHT if I am to remain well. I have no other choice. Please do NOT take them away from me. My GP will have fits if you do as she wont be able to treat me correctly. I feel so much better on the compounded version. Now I am scared you are considering taking away my life-blood. That is not okay. Please hear me- hear US. This simply cannot happen. There are just too many folks who depend on it.

I needed to be on Testosterone, and I just couldn't take what my doctor gave me. It wasn't working so he suggested getting some from a compounding pharmacy. I did this and it made a huge difference. I am so glad I did this. While not on it anymore, I believe in the freedom for people to choose if they want to use compounded medicines. Please allow human beings to continue this as many dont have any other choice.

Compounded hormone replacement therapy has given me back my life as well as my husband's. Our brains are now functioning and we can think clearly and remember things. No more major debilitating brain fog that doctors could not diagnose or find a solution (we found the solution to be hormones with our own research!). My husband was about to go on disability due to intense debilitating muscle pain (back, shoulders, arms, hips, neck) and again that horrible brain swelling/fog. He is about 80% better being on hormones for five months! Also our anxieties and depression have improved by 95%! Nothing else has helped us and the improvements were noticeable fairly soon after we started using bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (cyclic type called CRT). We absolutely need our BHT to function and survive, just as much as I need my thyroid medication to keep my thyroid functioning. Same principle applies!

I have been using a bioidentical compounded hormone (Bi-est) for 15 years and it has made a profound positive impact on my life and health. Prior to using this compounded hormone, I was experiencing severe hot flashes and night sweats every 20 minutes. This made my career difficult to manage and left me with very little sleep at night. Since starting the bioidentical compounded hormone, I no longer experience any hot flashes and sleep soundly through the night. I call them my 'happy' pills as they allow me to live a healthy productive life. I would be devastated to no longer have access to the compounded estrogens. Please do not take them off the market.

It keeps me young and active. Not everyone can take normal hormones. We cannot stay on hormones long term unless they are naturally compounded. My quality of life is much better because of being able to remain on hormones.
