Prior to bioidentical hormone therapy, I had hot flashes, incredible mood swings and depression, felt sluggish all the time, and overall just couldn't stand the skin I was in. I had been on several different anti-depressants and anxiety medications. My menstrual cycle was sporadic and horrific in terms of length and quantity of flow. I have now been on BHT cream for two years. It took about six months for things to "regulate" and my doctor to tweak the dosage, but I feel 10 years younger. I have a sex drive again. I have discontinued the use of anti-depressants and can say with 100% certainty that this have improved my quality of life - as well as the quality of life of my family. Hot flashes are rare and my menstrual cycle is more predictable and managable. I am so thankful that a friend had me see Dr. Whitcomb to discuss bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. I don't feel so "foggy" all the time in terms of remembering numbers/dates/appointments (I used to mess them up all the time!). I certainly still get moody, anxious, and tired, but I just feel "normal" again. This truly has been such a quality of life saver for me.
