I was in a bad way before I started with bio-identical hormone treatment about a decade ago.
I was anxious, depressed, suicidal and once, I even had a flash of a homicidal thought! It scared the heck out of me.
I had talked to my doctor, but he said the only way he knew was birth control and anti-depressant, but I had previously been on both with terrible side-effects.
I happened to talk with a friend and she suggested a woman that worked with bio-identical hormones.
It was a multiple step process. After the test results came back, I was sitting in the office waiting to hear the news.
It was a bad day that day. As I sat in the chair, I felt like a volcano was trying to go off inside me. It was hard to keep my emotions in check with so much inner turmoil.
The pharmacy was kind enough to rush my order and so I picked up the hormone cream on the way to work and used it that night, and then the next morning.
By 24 hours after my appointment and only 2 applications I was back to my normal, happy self. It was nothing short of miraculous.
I cannot express enough fury and indignation that the government is attempting to regulate something that is natural and normal. BIO-IDENTICAL means it is identical to our natural biology NOT synthetic.
For me, pharmaceuticals and synthetics have caused horrible side effects including anxiety, depression, and suicidal desires. The last birth control option I tried caused me to want to drive my car into a semi-truck. I never took a birth control pill again.
Yes, my natural hormone imbalances caused similar issues, but instead of creating more issues or exacerbating the issues, bio-identical hormone cream SOLVED them.
