Suffering from headaches, night sweats, hot flashes and loss of libido, I felt like I couldn't feel worse. I had no quality of life and thought this was it at 53. My hair even changed, becoming dry and frizzy. I heard about bio-identical hormones from the Oprah show and sent for a book authored by Dr. Christine Northrup. After convincing my MD to allow me to try it, I felt like it had breathed life back into my body. I am retired now and have to pay for my compounds out of my pocket, but nothing would keep me from taking them. Please consider all the women like myself who just want to live a normal life, without the disability of lack of hormones. Thank you.
