Post menopause, I was osteopenic, had urinary issues, had brain fog and felt blah. The use of compounded (bio-identical) hormones felt like a life saver. Immediately, I felt better generally, brain fog cleared and in 3 years my DEXA Scan was completely normal. Previously I had been prescribed pharmaceutical hormones which made me have horrible headaches and felt bad most of the time. Thank God for compounded hormones!
