Symptoms, like extreme Bi-polar disorder with its dangerous treatment of lithium injections and frequent blood work, were completely eliminated. My life, and that of my husband and our entire family, was greatly improved. We are all thriving. Thanks to cHRT, my life is stable and I am able to contribute to others for which I am very grateful.

I feel like myself again. Before, I was a hormonal mess waking up at 3 am every single night, mood swings, weight gain, hot flashes and irregular bleeding. Now I sleep through the night, keep an even mood, am at my normal weight, and rarely have a hot flash.

Since 2000, I have had incontinence that was a horror. I read Dr. Christiane Northrup's book that hormones are helpful in establishing mire effective bladder control. I have been using cBHT now since 2006 quite effectively. My compounding pharmacy is well respected in my community, I have the utmost confidence in Pitt Street Pharmacy and my incontinence is managed well. Please do not make any change to my current access to cBHT. Keep Big Pharma out of my relationship with my doctor and me. I have tried Big Pharma's products unsuccessfully. I am a fully competent masters prepared LISW-CP. I have my entire career working in medicine and know my body's needs far more intimately than any other person.

Before hormone therapy, I was severely sleep deprived and was losing my hair. I had very little energy and was experiencing hot flashes that were miserable. Once I began cBHT therapy, all of those issues resolved. I am sleeping better than ever and as a result, my entire quality of life has been restored.

“I was miserable after my hysterectomy, life was nearly not w...”

I was miserable after my hysterectomy, life was nearly not worth living. I aged 10 years in one year. My muscles and bone were waisting away. I had absolutely NO sex drive. I would awake at night in puddles and could not sleep longer than two hours. I had palpitations, hot flashes, extreme irritability, and I was depressed. I was upset that I had no support from my insurance to cover a solution that has given my life back. But now I hear the compounding of hormones may be outlawed due to corporate greed. In this day you claim to want to help women but we all know is a joke. I will be devastated if this is taken away from me.

“cBHT literally gave me my life back. Lack of hormones affect...”

cBHT literally gave me my life back. Lack of hormones affects depression, dry skin, vaginal pain and dryness, muscle loss, and mood swings. Women should always have a choice to use bioidentical versus pharmaceutical. I have had side effects from Pharma hormone replacement and none with bio. Please allow women to make choices for their bodies without seeking financial gain of any sort or political involvement. My physician does bloodwork every six months to maintain my levels. I personally feel the risk are minimal at best. I have three friends who have had breast cancer in there fifties. None of which have ever taken hormone replacement.

In 1987 I had a gastric bypass. My thyroid was up and down for years until a holistic doctor figured out that my stomach was not digesting the medication. He promptly put me on compounded thyroid and I have been as close to perfect as I can get. It truly gave me my life back. To go back to the pills would destroy my lifestyle. At the present I take three compounded drugs due to my stomach surgery and all work as prescribed. Regular pills did not do the job.

“I started cBHT five years ago and it totally changed my life...”

I started cBHT five years ago and it totally changed my life in terms of dealing with menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes, mood swings, brittle hair, skin quality etc... The effects were immediate and I had zero side effects from it. I will get re-checked periodically to see if my dose needs adjusting in any way. This is a life saver for ALL women. It makes zero sense that a one size fits all HRT would be effective. All people are different and have different metabolisms. It is crucial that we make bHRT available to all who need it. A pharmacist goes to school to learn how to compound drugs.. let's let them do their job the way it was intended and not to be a "pill counter" for Big Pharma. Thank you from a long time patient and a Former Pharmaceutical Representative of 20 years. I know.

“I have received Bioidentical hormone therapy through prescri...”

I have received Bioidentical hormone therapy through prescription from a licensed physician for 15 years. Pitt Street Pharmacy in Mt. Pleasant, S. C. has filled these prescriptions including compounds. I feel that I am receiving both of these services in a professional manner. Bioidentical hormones provide natural hormones without the extra byproducts that would be added by pharmaceutical companies. I receive consultation from my physician regarding this treatment twice a year with blood analysis one to two times a year to assess hormone levels. Why fix something that is not broken? Look at the literature. HRT by pharmaceutical companies in the past resulted in carcinogenic by-products being added to hormones which hurt many who received it. Natural hormones are very helpful with aging to eliminate the unpleasant symptoms of menopause. It reminds me of oil in your car. If your car runs out of oil, your car deteriorates very quickly. Cardiology has significantly extended the life expectancy of millions. Why not also focus on the quality of life? Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy works!
