As the FDA considers removing access to certain medicines like compounded hormones, their voices must be part of the conversation.

“I started using bioidentical hormones in my late 40's for pr...”

I started using bioidentical hormones in my late 40's for premenopausal symptoms. I am now in my 60's and continue to use them for menopausal symptoms. I really struggled before the bioidenticals and don't want to think of my quality of life without them. They make me feel like me and I am happily able to live my life fully. I would not ever consider "horse pee" hormones. I am content with the safety and excellent results with my bioidentical estradiol and progesterone.

I have energy now to make it through the day and still have clarity in my thinking. My relationship with my children is better since I'm not as tired after work and can spend the afternoon and evening hours playing and engaging with them. My relationship with my husband has greatly improved as I'm able to be more relaxed and enjoy our time together. This has been one of the most effective therapies I have ever had in my life... please PLEASE do not take it away!

“For four years I have been using compounded bioidentical hor...”

For four years I have been using compounded bioidentical hormone therapy. The first couple of years after menopause, I tried using other forms of hormone replacement that were not compounded such as the patch. I had issues like spotting. Since using cBHRT, my quality of life has significantly improved. It would be devastating to not be able to have access to cBHRT!

“During menopause, I experienced overwhelming fatigue. My doc...”

During menopause, I experienced overwhelming fatigue. My doctor checked my hormone levels, and as part of my hormone replacement therapy, has prescribed testosterone replacement, which is not something available at standard dosing levels for women. It was the addition of the testosterone into my medication regimen that helped me recover enough energy to get out and do things. I'm not ready to go back to feeling like it's all I can do to get out of bed.

cBHT was my life saver, for my business, and my marriage. I was an emotional wreck physically and mentally before cBHT. It gave me clarity of mind and I lost the weight that I suddenly gained. The fibrosycstic in my breast is completely gone.

I had to have a hysterectomy and ovary removal due to possible cancer risks. I am in my early 30's and now need hormone replacement therapy. The compounded hormones have greatly increased my quality of life and I am able to return to almost near or better than the level I was prior to surgery.

I had both of my ovaries removed when I was only 35. None of the "traditional" pharmaceutical HRT products worked for me. I was severely depressed and suicidal. I was unable to focus enough to work (I was a technical writer). I quit driving after a couple of near misses with other vehicles. I was referred to a specialist in bioidentical HRT by my therapist. Within 48 hours of my first dose my brain turned back on. My kids called it my "happy mommy medicine". Bioidentical HRT literally save my life! I still take my troches daily and can't imagine what my life would look like without them!

I love the ability to have a local, family owned pharmacy that I trust to prepare hormones for me. It is fast, great service, and my doctor and I both agree the quality is much better than other options. This is an important part of my life that I am able to choose where I get my supplements and who I trust to give me those supplements.

I experienced severe post-menopausal symptoms following cancer treatment and surgical menopause. I was unable to take the pill form/pharmeceutical hormones, due to side affects and increased cancer risk. I tried the E-string insert for seven years at substantial cost with only minor improvement in comfort. For just over a year now, i sought help from holistic practioners who prescribed estriol suppositories and progesterone cream which have significantly improved my comfort, and therefore quality of life.

We encourage the appropriate committees in both the House and Senate to hold hearings on this critical issue.
