“Relief from hormones!”

In 2008 I was severely exhausted, challenged by hot flashes, mood issues, and depression. My hair was falling out, I was sleeping only 2 hours per night. I went to 8 physicians. I have been in medicine my whole life and could not believe the level or lack of treatment… I had one doctor throw a pack of progestin ( synthetic) hormones at me and say that’s all I have. I took two caps and had a severe reaction. My thyroid was off as well! I could not take commercial pharmaceuticals for this … they have gluten in them and dyes which I reacted to. I found the only relief in compounded hormones! With testosterone and estradiol and progesterone, I am able to have energy and stay cognitively sharp. The thyroid compound has helped with energy, sleep, temperature regulation, and my mood. None of those was ever suggested by any conventional physician. I would like to say this aged my life. I would like to say I am on no other medication!

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.
