Compounded prescriptions have made a huge impact on my life in so many positive ways. They are an absolutely essential necessity for being able to balance hormones in a safe and effective way.

Although I have only been using this for about six months now, the one MAJOR change I noticed was that it helped dramatically with my incontinence. In the morning, I was unable to make it from bed to the bathroom without dribbling and now this problem has subsided. It is starting to reignite my sex drive and I am not losing hair as bad now. Also, my hot flashes and night sweats have gone from having a dozen hot flashes a day/night, to maybe one during the day and another at night. My sleep has improved ... to the point I used to sleep 6-7 hours a night and now I can sleep soundly for 8-9 hours! With continued use, I hope to see improvements in other areas as well ... i.e.; dry skin, more energy, better moods, etc..

It has helped me to get a better night's sleep without waking multiple times in the night.

When my hormones, estrogen and progesterone, dropped dramatically around age 58, I experienced heart palpitations, anxiety attacks, depression, osteoporosis and body tingles. I first started on estradiol patches and oral progesterone only to find that it improved symptoms but gave me breast swelling and pain. I switched to compounded BHRT with estradiol, estriol, progesterone and testosterone in cream form. It resolved my symptoms and I no longer have the breast swelling and pain. Our bodies need estrogen to maintain health. I am on a very low dose, which is restoring my health and healthy aging.

Compound pharmacy has been critical to my well-being since I had to have a total hysterectomy after cancer diagnosis. I went into sudden and extreme menopause. The RX they made for me saved my life and my well-being.

cBHT has dramatically improved my quality of life. Prior to taking compounded hormones, I was exhausted all of the time, depressed, overweight and had no desire to be sexually intimate with my mate. That really took a toll on my relationship. I also had a lot of pain in my joints and muscles. After I started taking cBHT, I got my energy back, the aches and pains in my joints and muscles went away, my health improved because I became active and lost weight. Prior to taking hormones, I was on the border of being diabetic. Diabetes is no longer a threat. My mate and I enjoy a sexually active life once again and my relationship is thriving! I no longer have mood swings nor am I depressed. Please do not take away my ability to get compounded hormones. You will ruin my health, my relationship and the quality of my life!

I suffered from moodiness, night sweats....everything is better now with compounded hormone therapy. No need to eliminate treatments. Instead, give more options. Government regulation is not needed for compounded hormone therapies. It appears the government is overstepping our boundaries when it comes to personal choice.

I feel so much better and have more energy with compounded hormone therapy. I have tried numerous other hormone medications and they just don't work. With compounded hormone therapy, my hormone levels stay even instead of going up and down. Compounded hormone therapy is more effective for me.

I had to switch to cBHT because I have multiple food sensitivities as a result of Hashimoto's Disease. All of the non-compounded options contained substances that I cannot have. If I didn't have the cBHT option, I would not be able to get the hormones that I need for a decent quality of life.

I have been on topical hormone cream for about ten years. It has helped my mental health and helped my general physical health as well. I tried to go off of the cream for a few years. The results were disastrous for me. I felt very uneven mentally and my hair thinned more (two of the things I noticed). I have stayed on the cream to maintain a low level of hormones, as decided by my doctor. I feel mentally comfortable and would be worried about my own mental health if I no longer had access to my compounded cream. I have been very happy with the pharmacy that does this for me and want to continue.

I had hot flashes so bad I couldn't sleep. I was very angry all the time and would yell often at my spouse and kids. I could hear myself but couldn't stop. Even though my insurance doesn't pay for this, I still get it. I'm 73 and I still get some hot flashes but not as bad.

I have relied on compounded bioidentical hormone replacement for many years and have enjoyed the lack of menopause symptoms and lack of concerns I would have using synthetic hormones. In fact I will not use synthetic hormones, so if the FDA takes away what I now use they will have removed the treatment option entirely for me.

I only use this compound when necessary for a condition erupting around the vulva. It stops the intense itching conditions caused by lichen plantus. It is the only remedy that has helped.

Before hormone replacement therapy, I never felt well or energized. I wasn't sleeping well. Even though my bloodwork was in normal ranges I continued to feel like crap. Then I started compounded hormone replacement therapy and the improvement in my quality of life has been amazing. Please leave the compounded hormone replacement therapy in play as a medication that can help post menapausal women. It is critical to maintaining my quality of life. Thank you...

I was diagnosed with osteopenia and have been taking compounded progesterone in order to balance my hormones and further bone loss. I did not want to take normal synthetic hormone therapy, therefore my doctor prescribed cBHT. I have been taking cBHT for over 10 years and plan to continue for the rest of my life. I feel confident that cBHT I am taking will not give me the adverse side effects that synthetic HT would give. I feel healthy on the cBHT as I know it matches my own hormones and they provide me the healthiest and best balance in hormonal therapy. My bone density scans have improved and I am not having any more bone loss. I believe this would be a tragedy if I would not be able to receive cBHT any more due to lack of accessibility! Please do not pass a bill that will restrict access to cBHT.

I am amazed at the benefits of cBHT! I was in serious vaginal pain when I started the compound. I will not use a synthetic prescription, since I was diagnosed as high-risk for cervical cancer. It was a risk I was not willing to take. I am 100% satisfied with how well I am now with cBHT. I am also free from worrying about my well-being.

I'm 62 years old. At 47, I had early onset of Alzheimers. I was forgetful, exhausted, unfocused, irritable, sleepless, and had a memory of three minutes. I saw several physicians, had many tests, and results showed nothing, all was "normal". My symptoms got worse, I thought I was going to have to give up my career as a medical professional and medical business owner. My previous physician suggested a D.O. in Grand Rapids, MI who specialized in hormones. I scheduled with her and had more tests run. She did one extensive test, which includes 24-hour urine collected and sent to a specialized lab. FINALLY, these results explained that my hormones WERE the problem, and she knew PRECISELY what I needed in my cBHT. I immediately began cBHT and within days, things began to improve. I had follow-up labs to allow her to key in the cBHT "recipe" and I improved every time. I kept my career, my business, my patients, and my quality of life. I was productive once again. cBHT is CRITICAL MEDICAL CARE AND VERY MUCH NECESSARY. We are NOT all of the same genomes, that you can give an identical "hormone patch" to treat the specific needs of each patient. The facility I use for my cBHT prescription is very professional, clean, ethical, efficient, highly skilled, and follows Compound Pharmacy protocol. I would have lost my career and closed my business had I NOT received cBHT and I would likely have ended up on government disability. I would have spent thousands of dollars continuing my search to explain and treat my disabling symptoms. I believe in cBHT.

I have been on CBHT for 15 years. It has greatly improved my life, my attitude, my health, and my physical ability. Do not restrict my choice.

I have had terrible hot flashes for years. Once I started on cBHT, it changed my life. I no longer suffer with hourly hot flashes and night sweats. I am not interested in taking any medication that is synthetically made. I feel safe taking cBHT. It truly has changed my life for the better. I don't know what I will do if it's taken away from me.
