I have been blessed to be able to use compound hormone cream for several years now. I researched all of the options available to me when I had my hysterectomy. Having a medicine made for me based on my hormone needs was the best option. Several years before I watched my mother-in-law have a heart attack, from what her doctors told her, a generic hormone replacement patch. I did not want to go through what she went through.
It took some time to find exactly the right balance for my body. But it has truly saved my life. Without my hormone cream, my body goes into a complete mental shutdown. I have extreme anxiety, and severe depression and have even had suicidal ideations. My cream is truly a lifesaver. My pharmacist, doctor and I communicate often to make sure I am being well taken care of and that my compound works for my body. I can't even imagine what my life would be like without my hormone therapy.
