“My primary psychiatrist could not support my ability to sleep.”
My primary psychiatrist could not support my ability to sleep. It was hormone replacement (progesterone) which enabled me to sleep during perimenopause and menopause. I was desperate and had tried sleep medications. I am forever grateful to my compounding pharmacist. She is in Maryland, and I moved to Florida, and I still consult with her for my menopausal needs.
“Without the compounded hormone therapy, I lose any energy...”
Without the compounded hormone therapy, I lose any energy I still have and my libido would be zero. This is a ridiculous attempt to control aging men and women.

“Compounded hormones have enhanced my life physically and mentally.”
I started using hormone replacement therapy when I was 54 years old and will continue to use it (76) the rest of my life. I believe it has enhanced my life physically and mentally. I am very youthful and look 10 years young than I am. I have strong bones and continue to work as a nanny/house/petsitter. I attribute it to my therapy with my pro-therapy physician. I get my blood tested every six months to make sure I am getting the right hormones.

“I am very thankful for the option of compounded hormones.”
I am very thankful for the option that I have had to go this direction in compounding my hormone needs. I did not want to take a synthetic brand because I have had cancer issues in my family members. Breast cancer. This is something that many deal with, including me. I would hope we would always have a choice. I see no reason to remove this option. Especially since we pay out of pocket. It has helped me greatly.

“My quality of life has dramatically improved since 2014.”
My quality of life has dramatically improved since 2014. I have been able to have a medically monitored compounded hormonal therapy that helped me to return to a normal sleep pattern. I have level daily moods and focus, increased metabolism, no fatigue, and no weight gain anymore.
“It is essential that these quality-of-life improving drugs remain...”
It is essential that these quality-of-life improving drugs remain accessible and affordable. My life has improved immensely after my doctor prescribed them for me.
It's bad enough that these drugs are not covered by insurance.

“Compounded hormone therapy has definitely improved my qualit...”
Compounded hormone therapy has definitely improved my quality of life. When I was 37, I had to have a complete hysterectomy (after living with infertility and extensive Endometriosis; Endometriosis destroyed my bladder, bowel, vagina.) Ten years later, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Incontinence, nerve issues and pain are a constant in my life! My physician prescribed compounded therapy. It has definitely helped with my constant vaginal pain. There is a big difference when I don't use cBHT. Please DO NOT eliminate compounded therapies! This therapy is definitely needed! I'm glad that there's a pharmacy willing to make the EXACT compound I need. I'm finally able to have sex with my husband (without the constant pain that I've been living with for over 35 years). Sometimes traditional medicines don't work for everyone. Medicine is NOT always an exact science. Don't eliminate the pharmacies willing to make these compounds for us!

“Prior to cBHT my life was becoming miserable. I started deve...”
Prior to cBHT my life was becoming miserable. I started developing uncontrollable anxiety, insomnia, depression, lack of sex drive, inability to function or concentrate. My marriage was suffering. My gradschool work was suffering. I was struggling at work. My whole world seemed to be falling a part. My provider thought it was mental health issues, but I knew my body. I went to a hormone specialist who is a well-known, well-respected physician. He has been prescribing cBHT for years with success and safety. After three weeks of cBHT, I was me again! I feel healthy, happy, fully functional, and thriving in many areas of my life. The brain fog has lifted and I am about to graduate with my MSN in nursing education. If it were not for cBHT, I am honestly afraid of what would have happened to me, my marriage, my family, or my future. I implore you to hear us, the people who have benefitted from cBHT. We deserve to thrive! Williams Brothers pharmacy compounding pharmacy in Bloomington, IN and countless other compound pharmacies are truly a part of the solution when it comes to helping women with hormone dysfunction. Do not take away our hope! Add stricter regulations, if you must, but DO NOT SHUT THEM DOWN. Please!

“I was taking oral estrogen. I have PCOS. I went to a new doc...”
I was taking oral estrogen. I have PCOS. I went to a new doctor because my old doctor retired. My new doctor put me on bi-est compound cream because she wanted to avoid blood clots, then I had a hysterectomy. She kept me on the bi-est cream that I rub in my arm every day. So far, so good. I do not have medical insurance. I pay $36 a month for compounded bi -est. We can afford the compound made at Willis Brothers. We could not afford $130 a month gel from another pharmacy. I hope I can continue to buy bi-est cream.
