I began menopause at the early age of 44 and experienced all the typical very disruptive symptoms. I knew I needed help. I wanted a more safe and natural treatment approach. I started reading several books related to BHRT and spent many hours researching the benefits BHRT provided. After reading about some of the unsafe ingredients used in the standard forms of estrogen replacement, I knew I didn't want that. I found a great doctor who supported and prescribed BHRT. My BHRT treatment was specifically formulated to fit my exact needs and not a one size fits all prescription. From the start of my treatment, I started noticing positive changes that offered the relief I'd been hoping for. I don't know what I'll do if this form of treatment is no longer available. Eliminating compounding pharmacies will most certainly cause a lot of turmoil in the lives of people like myself who depend on this type of treatment.
