Prior to taking hormones, I was fatigued and exhausted. I could not sleep and felt overloaded. It was very difficult to get up in the morning and go to work because I had not slept. Then while at work, I was just not able to focus. It was a miracle when I learned of and started to use hormones. The hormones are now balanced and I sleep well every night. I have good energy levels and am able to focus. I feel good all the time. If I lost the ability to take hormones at this point in my life, it would be an unbearable thought. The doctor is very good about making sure I am balanced. My quality of life and my health are greatly improved due to hormones.
