“Quality of life restored”
In 2016 I started having a serious decline in several areas of my life. I couldn’t stay asleep for more than half an hour. I was awakened every night for two years every half an hour with hot flashes. I had pain starting to creep up in my legs, knees, and hips when I would lay down to sleep…when I sat too long with my students in class. I had emotionally tearful moments-- too many to count.
I tried taking higher-quality multivitamins and supplements to try and ease these issues. To no avail. After two years of all the above and energy levels dwindling, I began to research the topic of bio-identical hormone replacement. Through my research, I was also concerned with the history of breast cancer on my mom's side both of her sisters had it and one passed away from it. I knew through my research that there could be some risk but I also knew that the quality of my life was in a serious decline on so many levels. Exercise and supplements were doing absolutely nothing to alleviate my symptoms.
I finally desired to seek professional help and my new doctor was an answer to my dilemma. Since receiving my first bio-identical hormone pellets I have not missed a blood workup or pellet insertion appointment, mammogram, or breast sonogram. I previously wasn’t a person who went for regular checkups as I was healthy. I would go years in between gynecological exams. This is how much my quality of life has increased since being able to receive bio-identical hormone pellets. My doctor closed her practice close to my home and I even travel 45 minutes one way along with taking time off from work to keep up with this life-restoring treatment. Please make sure that this continues to not only be an option for me but for all women. I can not believe that this is not a mainstream treatment for menopause. Please make sure this medical treatment isn’t removed as well as make sure there are more studies done proving its efficacy as well as improving the quality of women’s as well as men's lives. Please make sure that this treatment can also be covered by insurance. If you will don your own research you will find that there are other long term health benefits. If you are a woman or love a woman or care about women, then please do research and fight for us to be able to keep our quality of life through bio-identical hormone replacement pellets.
