“Post menopausal at 48”

I found myself, a woman with 4 college degrees so forgetful that I couldn’t bring close friends' names to mind. I thought I was having early-onset dementia until the hot flashes and night sweats struck. After over two years of struggling to function and simply perform my basic career functions, I finally went to compounding hormone therapy. Finally, I could think intelligently and carry on a conversation without sounding like I’d lost my mind. Government and insurance companies should be ashamed that they will provide men, through insurance no less, a way to have sex at 90, but will allow women (over 50% of the population) to struggle to simply function in society. Gender bias at its worst. That this idea is even under discussion is beyond imaginable to me.

Hear their stories. Protect their own words. Protect their access to compounded medicines.

On this page, we can only touch on the data that demonstrates the importance of compounded medicines to the lives of millions of people in this country. While the decision to take this vital therapy from patients and physicians might be profitable for big pharmaceutical companies, it will be disastrous for the millions of patients that those same pharmaceutical companies cannot serve!

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