In , millions of people depend on compounded medicines to live normal, productive, healthy lives. Their first-hand stories speak directly to the power of this important therapy. As the FDA considers removing access to certain medicines like compounded hormones, their voices must be part of the conversation.

Increased my vigor and vitality. Andropause at age 60. I started on testosterone topically at age 62. I am presently 75 and going strong. I started my girlfriend on estrogen/progesterone topically at her age of 77. She's 88 and doing very well.

I use a compounded vaginal formula of estrogen and testosterone and it had radically helped me. I know this is very personal, but until I started taking this, I was unable to enjoy sex. I had tried traditional hormones and they are too strong for me and I had really bad side effects. Today, I am healthy and sexually active and it is because of compunded hormones. This 67 year old is grateful! Please do not ban them.

I was having about 30 hot flashes a day. Can you imagine breaking out in a sweat that goes through your clothing over and over again? It feels like your body temp. just went up 10 degrees. It affects sleep, intimacy, social life, work life, home life, it's embarrassing, it's horribly uncomfortable, and clothing selections have to change.
cHBT gave me my life back. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't take it away or reduce the ability for compounding pharmacies to help patients to their fullest extent! If you'd ever had to deal with hot flashes, and finally found relief with cHBT, you'd never consider taking that option away when it relieves the suffering of so many. The pharmaceutical companies can't customize what hormone combination a patient needs. What they offer is terribly inadequate since it's doesn't offer safety and one size doesn't fit all. Only cHBT has the flexibility and safety a patient needs. People need this option. Make your decision based on the suffering of humans, not on some study void of input from patients and medical professionals.

Starting HRT was life altering! Within a week I felt 100% better. Over the years I have taken a break from them for various reasons, thinking I would no longer need them. Within a few days I again experienced debilitating symtoms - dramatic hot flashes, night sweats, and insomnia. I take no other drugs. I get a bone scan every five years and it is always better than the norm. My only irritation is that insurance does not cover the cost for bioidentical hormones BUT pays for synthetic.

I have had no negative affects from using bioidentical hormone therapy. It has restored the hormone balance in my system and I feel perfectly normal. I am very disturbed to hear that the FDA is considering restricting my use of a very effective therapy for menopause. Obviously those seeking to restrict this have not experienced menopause.

With balanced hormones, I feel grounded, happy, calm, peaceful. When my hormones are low I know it. I feel anxious, impatient, moody, more negative and generally OFF. I've been getting bioidentical pellets every four-give months for the past five years and I'm very youthful, energetic, productive, and happy in my late 50's. I don't intend to ever go without HRT.

It has taken away my migraines, I sleep six-eight hours per night, my brain fog is gone, depression is gone, joint pain is gone, I lost 80 pounds, and it raised my energy level from lethargic to normal. My dry skin gone, hair loss has stopped, and vaginal dryness is gone. My sex drive returned. I tried many other pharmaceuticals and they made me feel worse and had no improvement. Compounded saved my life and continues to enhance a healthy normal lifestyle.

Menopause for me was a nightmare. Beyond the usual extreme hot flashes and night sweats, the mental confusion was the worst. I would sometimes wind up somewhere and wonder why I was there. My husband made the comment you are getting scary and it was true- life was getting scary for me as my memory was so fuzzy and I would feel disoriented at times. I tried conventional hormone replacement which helped somewhat but it was when my hormones became balanced with bioidentical hormone therapy that I my husband would tell you that he got his wife back. Please do not throw me back into the chaos and crisis that I lived in without bioidentical hormone therapy.

During my pre-menopausal years it was apparent that my body was deficient in needed hormones that stabilized my endocrine system. Blood work was completed and the deficiency was noted and a compounded medication was ordered I was brought back into balance. A one size fits all dosage for individuals who need hormonal supplementation is dangerous to the health of those who may need less of a hormone and are getting more because it is standardized. When a deficiency is noted in any area of our health the goal is to supplement the needed dosage.

On this page, we can only touch on the data that demonstrates the importance of compounded hormones to the lives of millions of women in this country. While the decision to take this vital therapy from patients and physicians might be profitable for the 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.
