cBHT has changed the quality of my life immensely, with a better sense of well-being. After trying multiple brands of estrogen creams and supplements, the cBHT was the only solution that offered relief from extreme pain during intercourse. My vaginal dryness was extreme and the hormone treatment gave me long awaited relief!

cBHT has been absolutely life changing. Before I started taking cBHT, I had terrible menstrual cramps, daily headaches that could not be relieved with OTC pharmaceuticals, extreme mood swings and insomnia that also was not relieved by prescription pharmaceuticals. Also, I was experiencing acne breakouts in my late thirties into my forties. There were other more minor perimenopausal symptoms as well that on their own would likely not have prompted me to seek therapy. Since being on cBHT my quality of life has drastically improved. I no longer suffer from the quality of life sucking symptoms listed above. I cannot tell you how many years I have now been on cBHT, but I would not be the same person without the therapy. cBHT has improved my libido as well thereby enhancing my marriage in that very important way. Without cBHT, I don't even want to keep company with myself. I am now a menopausal woman and cBHT continues to be equally important in this stage of my life. I can usually tell when it is time to adjust my hormone therapy as previously managed symptoms become more problematic. cBHT helps manage the proverbial hot flashes that are so frequently a challenge for mature women. I love love love my cBHT and life would not be as beautiful as it is without the therapy.

I am 67 years old and have been using bioidentical estrogen, progesterone, and 7 Keto DHEA for over 10 years. During perimenopause and in early menopause, it was like my body was just shutting down, in addition to all the typical symptoms of menopause. At that time, my former gynecologist prescibed Premarin (with no testing for anything) and I had horrific side effects. So I quit taking it and, believe me, I suffered for years until I found a new doctor upon the recommendation of a friend. She ordered a multitude of tests. Not only was my blood level of estradiol so low as to be unmeasurable, I also was deficient in progesterone for a woman in menopause. She also discovered that I have hypothyroidism. I tried taking a standardized dosage of Synthroid, again with disasterous side effects. But my wonderful new doctor said not to worry. She prescribed bioidentical estrogen (Biest), progesterone, and thyroid hormones (T3+T4), all of which were compounded to an exact dosage that my body needed. (I was not "stuck" with taking a standardized dosage that non-compounded medications offered and that did not suit the needs of my body). My quality of life completely turned around! Over the years, I have had to have the dosages periodically increased by small increments. This would not even be possible without the availability of compounded hormones! Again, PLEASE do not allow the FDA to take this right away from me and so many other women. Just thinking about not having my compounded meds throws me into a state of severe anxiety. Believe me, I know my body and I have years of wonderful life-giving experience taking compounded hormones. If my right to take these is denied, I can't even fathom how my quality of life would deteriorate, and even if I would want to continue to live. I certainly would not return to the standardized so-called natural estrogen/progesterone and the synthetic thyroid hormones that made my life intolerable. If a woman has a right to govern her own body by having an abortion, then I have the RIGHT to govern my body's wellness by using compounded hormones.

I had ovarian cysts and uterine fibroids. I was advised to have a total hysterectomy. That was over 22 years ago. I did not want that solution, so I researched and learned about bioidentical progesterone as opposed to synthetic progestins. I began using bioidentical progesterone regularly, resulting in stopping the cysts from developing and making the fibroids shrink. I also had much more energy and my mood swings stabilized, resulting in me becoming more active which helped me lose weight and helped me become healthier. 22 years later and I am still healthy and very, very active. I am able to take care of my wheel chair bound 82 year old husband with post polio syndrome.

I could not get my Hashimotos balanced so I started using compounded hormones as Premarin made me worse. Keeping my hormones balanced precisely balanced my thyroid. I test every six months and the formula is tweaked every time. No synthetic can do this for me because they are not exact enough. My thyroid would crash without compounded hormones to keep me stable. They have made an amazing difference in living my life.

My urologist, who I have gone to for many years, prescribed an ointment compounded testosterone medication a couple of years ago. He monitors it regularly. It has improved the quality of life in a number of ways and it is important for me to be able to continue receiving it.

I am 63. At 42 I was diagnosed with FMD. I am a volunteer study at Cleveland Clinic. Studies have shown a link to FMD and hormones. More research is needed. I have had serious hormonal problems since age 10. Hormone replacement has changed my life for the better. Much BETTER.

cBHT has made a tremendous positive effect on my quality of life with NO side effects. I had undesirable side effects on oral hormone replacement pills and vaginal creams. The quality of life was not comparable to cBHT.

I used to feel very tired and always grouchy. I started probably 23 years ago and my doctor said I was almost off the charts with my hormonal imbalance. Since that time has passed I feel so much better and everyone says I look great for 66 years old. I do feel good and the compounding meds and my doctor has helped a lot! I hope the FDA doesn't try and stop the compounding industry because it has helped many people feel so much better including myself. I truly do support this and hope it will continue so other people can be helped and feel better!

It was life changing. Physically fixed my issue and restored my confidence as a woman.

cBHT is a great option for pre-menopausal women. I found that my quality of life improved, energy levels were sustained, ability to think clearly without fogginess took place. Bone, skin, and heart health were maintained, vaginal wall thickness maintained. I think this should be offered to all women. Makes a difference between living and just being alive.

Before my bioidentical hormone replacement I had less energy, dry skin, irritable mood swings, a dry uncomfortable vaginal area, loss of sexual pleasure, and sleepless nights.

I would not be able to function without these compounded hormone therapy medications. I would have foggy thinking, no sleep, hot flashes and other very detrimental issues. The FDA needs to realize how vital these medications are to patients like myself.

I was suffering greatly with menopause, insomnia, night sweats, constant hot flashes, zero sex drive and painful intercourse. An MD friend said she heard good things about bioidenticals. It has been life changing for me (and my very happy husband!).

I was always tired and never had the energy to do the things I wanted do. My work was lagging from no energy and brain fog. Since I started with the pellets my life has change to the very best. I have more energy and my well-being is outstanding. I would recommend this therapy to any man going through what I have been through! It the best thing I ever done.

I am post-menopausal, age 57. I had a hysterectomy at age 42 and a thyroidectomy at age 50. My life was a mess. My body could not make the hormones I needed. I was tired and depressed and having intercourse with my husband was extremely painful. I would often bleed afterwards. Compounding hormones completely changed my life and my husband and I finally have an absolutely wonderful, enjoyable sex life. Please do not take this option away from me! I cannot imagine going back to how things used to be.

I was having so many issues with the way I was feeling that I was thinking it was normal and I had to deal with it. Talking to the other women that have received hormonal therapy I heard all the great things that helped them so I was willing to try it and wow what a difference it made in my life sexual, mental, and physical life. My personality came back and I was myself again. I don't have a lot of money. I save up to get this hormonal therapy because to me, it's worth it to save to make myself feel better. I had been to so many different OBGYNs and told them all the different issues I was having. Not once did they ever check my hormones or do my blood work like Dr. Sherrock did for me. I'm so thankful he did because then it made sense why I was feeling the way I did. Hormonal therapy is great. I recommend it to a lot of women because they felt like there was no way out, but there is. You just have to find the right doctor and to be able to get this hormonal treatment. So please don't take this away from us. I just found it and am doing my treatments and feeling better. For both men and women. We all need this.

I had four hernia operations that resulted in the removal of one testicle. 15 years later, I starteed feeling severely run down and couldn't function. A test concluded that I had severe testosterone deficiency. I started taking hormone cream and it has totally restored my energy and motivation and helped me become successful again. The only reason for denying treatment would be to suppress people from being all that they can be!

I had a full hysterectomy and almost a year later, I started experiencing severe heart palpitations. I had been to see my doctor a lot over the next year. They assumed I had a heart condition or anxiety. I was put on several different medications to help with this, but nothing worked. I even wore a heart monitor for a month 24/7. I was a mess! I finally made an appointment with an OBGYN. She did bloodwork and found out my progesterone levels were so low they did not register. She put me on 100 mg of the progesterone pill. This was in August and the pill did not digest well with me. My stomach was not adapting to this at all. She then gave to the option to try the compounded hormone therapy. I was a little hesitate to try but I had to do something severe insomnia had set in, sleeping only maybe two hours a night if I was lucky. She referred me to the Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy #1065. There I met Dan Karant. This man saved my life. He educated me on the compounded hormone therapy. I called him several times and he always took the time to explain everything to me. I came into the pharmacy before hours so he could educate me on the cream and the correct way to use it. After a month or so I started sleeping better and my heart was not racing anymore. Please do not take this medication away from me. I am sure there are a lot of women out there who could benefit from this too.
