“So Grateful for Compounded Thyroid Hormones”

I have been through severe stress that left me almost unable to function. My regular doctor told me I was depressed and only offered antidepressants. I started researching and reading several books and began to believe that there may be a problem with my thyroid. I reached out to the functional doctor that has prescribed BHRT to me for several years and she ordered blood tests which proved that I had extremely low thyroid. I began taking bio-identical compounded thyroid hormones and I’m so grateful to be feeling better and I have an alternative to synthetic hormones. Most of us know that synthetic hormone replacement therapy has some very severe Side effects. I did not want to take a chance with that potentially being the issue with my thyroid. Also, most traditional doctors only prescribe synthetic T4, which many patients can’t synthesize and turn into T3. Having this bio-identical medicine has been a real game changer. I have been so exhausted and plagued with terrible brain fog that I haven’t worked for the past year. I’m now feeling more alive and capable of getting back to life! Please please please do not take these essential and life-changing formulations away from us!

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.
