Surgical menopause at 44 left me no other option

At 44 I had my uterus and ovaries removed (surgical menopause) as a treatment for severe PMS (PMDD). The surgery and subsequent cBHT transformed me from an angry, anxious, stressed-out woman who had destroyed her marriage and who could barely hold it together at work, to a calm, easy-going, relaxed miracle. I am 48. Without cBHT, I will not be able to function because I don't make the hormones needed to maintain mental and emotional balance.

I am treated by a physician who checks my hormone blood values 4 times a year and makes small adjustments to my cBHT as needed. I get my cream from a registered compounding pharmacy. Please don't take away my treatment.

Hear their stories. Protect their own words. Protect their access to compounded medicines.

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.
