United States
In the United States, millions of people depend on compounded medicines to live normal, productive, healthy lives. Their first-hand stories speak directly to the power of this important therapy. As the FDA considers removing access to certain medicines like compounded hormones, their voices must be part of the conversation.

cBHT has provided me with the proper, specialized compound needed for me to enjoy optimal health. Regular pharmacy medications did not help me. I implore you to allow compounding pharmacies to remain serving those of us in need. Thank you, Arlene Gagliardo

Kansas Frankfort“It is a natural replacement that lets me be me.”
I had to have a hysterectomy after my 3rd child. My sister had breast cancer and so they took my ovaries too. I was on estrogen in a pill at first but I was short tempered and irrationally paranoid about everything. I told my doctor and he said to try a compound. I was back to normal. I have tried to go off of it several times with the same results....crazy Mama.... It's not like I am on a dangerous drug. It is a natural replacement that lets me be me.

I was extremely tired all of the time. I sometimes would have to drink a coke to stay alert long enough to drive home from work and then be worthless for the rest of the day. My libido was almost non-existent, which debilitated my relationship. As well as my social life suffered do to lack of energy. I now feel great and can live a normal life.

Ohio New Philadelphia“I have been using compounded hormone therapy for over 10 years...”
I have been using compounded bio-identical hormone therapy for over 10 years. My quality of life has been greatly improved as a result of using them. I have osteopenia, and my bone density scans have improved since I've been using cBHT. My doctor is pleased with the results. My heart health is also benefiting by using cBHT. I am a strong advocate for using compounded products that are beneficial to my body. I refuse to take synthetic hormones and synthetic thyroid medications that have unwanted and unhealthy side effects. My doctor monitors my cBHT levels on a regular basis. Medicare and my secondary health insurance does not cover any of my monthly cBHT prescription costs. However, I am more than willing to pay approximately $150 per month out of pocket to experience the benefits of taking the hormones. I plan to continue using cBHT and hope and pray that the FDA does not restrict my access to them.

Following a total hysterectomy, I could not tolerate the typical hormonal replacement therapies. Using the compounding therapy has been a lifesaver for me. It helps physically, emotionally, mentally. I'd recommend it to anyone

Arizona Mesa“I had a full hysterectomy, including ovaries at 43...”
I had a full hysterectomy, including ovaries at 43 years. It put me into menopause immediately. At the time I lived in Washington state. My surgeon prescribed me the manufactured hormones in the form of a patch. I had a terrible experience with that as I was allergic and it would leave red blotches all over my body. It also did not work, I was depressed, tired and irritable. I still had hot flashes and lost all sexual drive. I went years like that, miserable. Then I moved to Arizona and was told about the Medical spas here and the bio hormones in the form of pellets. I decided to try it as I was desperate for anything to help me. A few weeks after I received the pellets I started to notice a change. I had energy and I literally felt the darkness lift. 6 months later I felt like I was 30 again. I cannot imagine life without my pellets. I feel great, have energy, my sex drive is normal and I am able to live my life without fatigue, hot flashes and misery. Why would anyone want to take that away from women like me?

I suffered and my relationships suffered because of the severe hormonal imbalance I had for 20 years. This prescription has changed my mood, my relationships, and my quality of life. The cream is made FOR me, for my needs, and fresh when I need it. I would have severe mental issues if I don't need have it.

Virginia LEESBURG“I'm going on 79... and I'm happy!”
I am fortunate to have as my primary care physician a woman who is exceptionally knowledgeable about the aging process in women and has educated herself about prescribing natural supplements to replace drugs typically routinely prescribed by specialists. In addition, she introduced me to bio-identical HRT 20 years ago, I have never felt better. I am now going on 79, my weight is ideal, my sleep habits enviable, my energy level above-par, and I'm happy. Whenever I ask her if I should stop taken them, her response is always to stay on them. I get annual blood work done and am excited and fortunate to be able to say everything is normal.
If bio-identical HRT is ultimately banned, I worry that the health and happiness of all the women currently taken this now will decline significantly.

Missouri Kansas City“My body and life are significantly better since we changed to compounded meds....”
I have hypothyroidism and have my thyroid medicine compounded. I found out that I am allergic to traditional over the counter prescription thyroid pills as I get severe leg cramps that are debilitating and extremely painful with them. My compounded prescription meds have to be hypoallergenic which I cannot get through traditional prescriptions. Thyroid meds have affected the functioning of my heart, moisture levels in my body, sleeping patterns, bowel movements, memory and brain functions, and my overall mood and emotional outlook on life in a very positive way. My body and life are significantly better since we changed to compounded meds and dialed in on the correct dosage, of which doesn't come in OTC form even if I could take them.

Colorado Colorado Springs“I feel as if I got a second chance at life.”
Before I took cBHT, my presenting symptoms included: lethargy, low energy, moderate depression, uninterested in much of anything in life, nights sweats, foggy thinking. I thought it was related to menopause & that my life was no longer worth living. A friend of mine suggested that I consider natural hormone replacement therapy as it could help me to feel better. That it would help was an understatement. The difference was dramatic. After a relatively short time, I felt like my old self. My energy increased. My mood was upbeat. My interest in life was greatly enhanced. I felt much younger and happier. I started doing many of the things I had done before menopause had dulled my senses. I started to attend yoga and dance classes again. I went skiing with my son. I took my dogs for long walks or hikes. I feel as if I got a second chance at life.

Indiana Bloomington“Compounded progesterone has all the benefits and none of the side effects.”
I am on estrogen patches to prevent migraines. As a person with ovaries and a uterus, I therefore need to take some form of progesterone with it. The regularly prescribed Prometrium 100 mg made me absolutely miserable. I was on it for six months and was constantly tired, weepy, and depressed. Compounded progesterone at the 55 mg dose has all benefits and none of the side effects.
