I have felt so much better since taking hormonal therapy.

It has stopped my depression, increased motivation, eliminated fatigue, increased sex drive, and eliminated hot flashes.

Several years ago, I found that the quality of my life had taken a sudden shift and I was struggling to continue my normal daily activities. I was tired all the time, forgetful, mentally sluggish and often felt that I needed a nap in the afternoons. I felt weak and frail. In addition, I got sick more often than normal. I also had a myriad of side effects related to low hormones that ranged from just an annoyance to a daily problem for me. These included dry hair and hair loss, indigestion and bloating, weight gain, dry skin, dry eyes and visual inconsistency, hoarseness and throat irritation, lack of appetite, lack of libido, and depression. I think you get the picture. Basically, I had gone from being active and happy to being tired, irritable and depressed in the space of a year or so. I elected to use bioidentical hormones to address my health concerns and within two days I noticed a significant difference in mood and energy level. Over the next two weeks, things changed significantly for me. While I cannot say I feel like a 20 year old, I can say that I still have an active and enjoyable life with only minimal issues related to aging. I can honestly say that I could not work successfully in my chosen field of work (QA for pharmaceutical companies) without the hormone therapy to keep me feeling energetic and serene. I am so grateful that I found a non-invasive, easy to use drug treatment that allows me to continue to live a full life at 61. It is a shame that the medical community does not provide women with accurate and unbiased information about HRT as it would improve the quality of life of so many women. It is simply not good enough to be alive, life is about being healthy, happy and vibrant and bioidentical hormones have given that to me.

I needed hormone therapy. My doctor wanted a compounded cream for me so she could specify the amount of each hormone I needed. I have been very pleased with my hormone therapy and feel like it has had a beneficial impact on my health and well-being.

I have less anxiety and hot flashes!

It has positive impacts on overall health, keeps one younger, and fights off medical issues. I am noticeably younger than friends of same age.

I can't live without my bioidentical hormones. If I didn't have them, I would get migraine headaches, be sleep deprived, and would feel lethargic.

I am a true testament for hormonal therapy. It basically saved my life in many ways. I could not sleep, my weight was getting worse (and I wasn't eating either but still gaining). My stress levels were extremely high. Las Colinas Pharmacy was a life saver for me. I just will never understand why insurance will not pay for hormonal therapy.

I had gained a significant amount of weight despite the fact I did HITT workouts three times a week and Pilates for an hour 2-3 times a week. Brain fog had affected my work. I was sleeping 3-4 hours per night and experienced hot flashes. These symptoms also affected my personal life. I had no interest in sex and was stressed from the other symptoms listed. My physician tested my thyroid and eliminated that as a possibility. I then started cBHT. In one month I felt 50-60% improvement. Within three months, the hot flashes and brain fog were gone and I was sleeping through the night. I believe the use of cBHt not only saved my job but also greatly improved my personal life and my marriage.

I started using compounded hormone cream years ago on the advice of my Harvard trained medical doctor to offset symptoms as I was entering perimenopause. I've had very few issues with irregular periods or hot flashes so feel like this has helped me navigate this time of hormonal fluctuation as I age. I'm grateful for anything that is a little more natural and mimics what my body naturally produces. I would be frustrated to have to find something else to try and feel like I was having to experiment with something new when what I'm using seems to be working. Please continue to allow the use of compounds for uses that are deemed medically necessary by our doctors!

It has aided in maintaining muscle tone, skin health, hair health, and mental health.

I am 67 years old and have used bioidentical hormone replacement (creams, patches, capsules) for the past 12+ years. As a result, I have an active sex life, have great skin tone and look younger, and maintain sustained energy and brain function for work, travel and enjoyment of my children/grandchildren. My prescribing practitioner monitors me yearly with blood/saliva testing to adjust dosages as needed.

I had taken medically prescribed HRT for 22 years and suddenly developed blood clots. This left me with no relief for hot flashes and sleepless nights. I started taking compounded HRT two years ago and have 100% relief. I was never verified "allergic", only a guess that the blood clot that almost killed me was caused by traditional HRT. I think 100% of women would benefit 100% of the time from compounded HRT. No harmful ingredients and 100% effective.

There are so many areas the cream has helped me, from improving my moods, to better sexual satisfaction, to even minimizing weight gain amd better looking skin. I feel I would not be in as good of shape physically and mentally if I did not have these hormones.

Prior to taking hormones, I was fatigued and exhausted. I could not sleep and felt overloaded. It was very difficult to get up in the morning and go to work because I had not slept. Then while at work, I was just not able to focus. It was a miracle when I learned of and started to use hormones. The hormones are now balanced and I sleep well every night. I have good energy levels and am able to focus. I feel good all the time. If I lost the ability to take hormones at this point in my life, it would be an unbearable thought. The doctor is very good about making sure I am balanced. My quality of life and my health are greatly improved due to hormones.

Because of very early menopause, I took cBHT to reduce the typical symptoms. I continued to take it because of a family history of heard disease and osteoporosis. It has been good for my entire body!

I am unable to take pharmaceutical dosing to replace hormones due to menopause. The bioidentical hormones allow me to receive the exact proper dosage of the hormones my body requires with NO side effects. My life will be greatly negatively impacted if I am unable to continue to receive this life enhancing medication.

I am 63 and have been using compounded hormones for over 23 years. I am under a physician's care and have my blood tested every six months. I look, act and feel like a woman in her early 40's. I have had no side effects and am in excellent shape. I exercise regularly. Without my hormones, I know my vitality and energy would be far less. Big Pharma should not be driving this bus. Please include ALL points of view on this subject and speak to women like me who have been on them for a very long time.

I have never had the usual symptoms of menopause and I can only assume it is because my doctor and I have worked together to use the right amount and correct dosage of my bioidentical compound. It has been a blessing. It is a shame that this alternative is not covered by insurance and has to fight Big Pharma to stay alive. It works!
