After giving birth to my daughter at the age of 36 through a C-section, and while still on the operating table, the surgeon discovered that endometriosis had spread tremendously and attached to my colon. It was decided that it was best to remove all my reproductive organs. As the lack of hormones spread through my system, I went from a happy normal mom and wife to a depressive, suicidal, mood-swing-crazed person. The hot flashes were out of control, I lost hair, and had dried skin, it was an endless array of issues. I was placed on a typical one for all synthetic HRT which didn't help. After desperately searching and seeing new doctors, and trying new medicines, I came upon Dr. Michelle Starke, my Saviour. After the initial saliva test, she prescribed compounded hormones. My C\compounding pharmacy filled the prescription. I finally began to stabilize and ultimately got my life back. I wouldn't have survived if not for the compound hormone made especially for me. Don't keep other women from having the chance at life after menopause or a hysterectomy.
