I feel rejuvenated, positive would be very concerned. If this therapy were not over level.

I am a 80 year old. male. The testosterone compound gives me the energy to enjoy my retirement. The trimix has eliminated my ED. I have been using the cream for about 10 years and the injectable 2 years. No side affects.

It has decreased joint muscle pain. My energy levels are better. The overall sense of well-being is better.

I had fibroids that left me anemic so after many holistic attempts at healing them I had my uterus removed. I have had terrible hot flashes brain fog crying and weight gain not to mention countless sleepless nights .I was crying one day and my son and husband came in my room and I said I need help. Not all women experience the same severity of symptoms but these are very real and the quality of your life can be affected . The medicine I take to replace my estrogen
Levels really helps me and I believe and trust my Doctor and pharmacist to guide me and help me have a smoother transition in this time of my life. Please consider the millions of women that need this help to function and feel whole .
Sincerely,
Valentina

I have early menopause due to endometriosis. My endometriosis caused me to need to adopt in order to bring children into our family. I have 4 children. They are 11, 8, 2, and 2. They keep me very busy!!

As my youngest two were joining our family, I began experiencing menopause symptoms. It was excruciating and miserable to be dealingwith that, while teaching and taking care of my children, especially my two youngest!

I tried for awhile to see if my symptoms would smooth out, but they did not.

What a great relief it was to start cBHT. I no longer have hot flashes with nausea, exhaustion, and weakness. I can be a Mom with new vigor.

Please don't take my cBHT away!

For the last 10 years I have prescribed compounded BHRT and I have seen the significant difference in all aspect of my patient's life.
I have changed several of my patients from synthetric hormones compounded hormones and I can tell the difference as well as my patients.

Me as a patient I have used cBHRT for more than years with excellent results.

Since I am a breast cancer survivor and unable to take regular hormone therapy for vaginal atrophy, the only relief afforded me is through compounded hrt.
I have been taking this compounded hormone for the past 6 years and have benefited greatly from improved quality of life. Without it, I would have to risk a hormone regimen that would put me at risk for more breast cancer. Not an option I want.

I've been a cyclist since my early 30's. I typically cycle 4-5 times a week for about 35-55 miles each time. I noticed a few years ago that I could not ride as well - neither as long nor as fast. I became tired, lethargic, very lazy feeling. I also started to feel depressed and very negative about life in general. After comprehensive exams and blood work, my doctor recommended that I take testosterone since my levels were apparently under norm. I started to take the compounded hormones and began to feel better. After a short time I was energized, positive in my outlook, and found I regained my sex drive. I feel great now, cycle with my husband, and even have the energy to help care for my grand children when needed. I believe the hormones have made a tremendous impact on me and my life.

My doctor recommended Testosterone injection treatment several years ago. I have been on this treatment twice a week for the past 5 years and have noticed a difference in higher libido as well as strength. I have checkups including blood work every three months and this treatment really works for me.

I started with my hormone therapy just a little over two years ago. It has been excellent for me in regards to my bone density. I’ve got scoliosis and with the bone density improvement it has shown to improve my situation.
I feel a lot more energetically and my blood pressure has been completely regulated to normal! I strongly believe in hormone therapy for both men and women!

When I reached menopause at 50 years old I began having issues with sleep, weight gain, and hot flashes. My doctor sent in a script for compounded hormones. I am now 60 years old and have annual blood work and check ups to monitor my hormone levals. Compounded hormones have helped with my sleep, weight gain, and hot flashes. I cannot imagine having them taken away from me. I would not want to go back to the misery that I suffered before.

It all began 2 years ago when I began noticing changes to my sleeping habits, which affected my mood. I decided to visit my doctor and I quickly discovered I was in pre-menopause. The doctor I visited gave me a sample of a medication that in big, red letters said "suicide risk". Clearly this was nothing I was going to take. I spoke to my chiropractor who recommended my current doctor. She took the time to speak to me about the care I would receive and the compounding medication she would be prescribing me. I trusted her and the medicine I would be using. I have been doing extremely well with the compounding medication and have had no side effects. I implore you not to take these compounded hormones away, as they work for so many women like me, that need these as part of their daily lives.

I ran to one gynecologist to the next when I started realizing something wasn't right when I was eating well and gaining wait, sleeping a full 9-10 hours a night and still exhausted beyond repair. Each MD told me that I needed to exercise more and increase my anti depressant dose, even though I was so proud to be getting myself off those. I was put on birth control, given high dose metformin, and sent on my way. When I kept coming back they would check my bloodwork and tell me everything looked perfect. I knew that it wasn't. I am so grateful that with a little digging I found my functional medicine doctor who did very specific lab testing and sure enough my thyroid was low, my testosterone was very low, and my nutrient panel was poor. Since seeing my new doctor in Feb 2021 I am proud to say that all my hormones are at a perfect level. I feel like myself again, my anxiety is gone, my sex drive is back and I am able to enjoy my life as a mom to 3 kids, ages 10,9, and 8. Without the compounded hormones I now rely on, I'd continue to be prescribed more and more synthetic drugs making me sicker and sicker. I am truly grateful to have found my doctor and even more grateful that I am consuming natural hormones that have turned my life around.

As a 56 female, I’ve gone through menopause. All I can say is the feeling is like dry out like a grape turning into a raisin. Prescribed hormones made the difference. The level is kept at the minimum and allows me to feel “normal” living with balanced hormones.

Thank you.

I am taking two compounded hormone medications, and they have improved my quality of life tremendously. I am a 60 year old woman, and was having all kinds of symptoms that were affecting my daily life, and worse, my sleep. These two meds have made a huge difference to the point that I don’t have ANY of the issues anymore. Please don’t take this option out of my life or implementing unnecessary restrictions for whatever reasons you feel are important. I can’t be the only person whose life has better quality because of compounded medications.

I have never been more healthy taking bioidentical hormones . I sleep better and my blood work is a thousand times better than anything that is unnatural. Bioidentical hormones is made from yams . I don’t think the need to take something so healthy away from the public unless there is some serious corruptness involved.

I have been using a compounding pharmacy for many years. I am sensitive to ingredients in capsules, fillers, binding agents etc. The compounding pharmacy knows which capsules I tolerate and can put the active ingredients in without the added ones that I have reactions to. I also use topical hormones and am able to bring in my own lotions and creams that have minimal ingredients for compounding.
Most recently I had a bad experience with Thyroid medication. I have been on Nature Thyroid for over 20 years and it was recalled. I tried two other natural thyroids and had horrible reactions to them. I realized they had dextrose in them which my body does not tolerate. (Whole body joint and muscle pain.) I am intolerant to multiple ingredients in the synthetic versions of thyroid. I was in a panic. My local pharmacy could not compound it because of the cost. My doctor tried calling the company to see if we could get emergency use while it was recalled. I started calling compounding pharmacies and thankfully Taylors Pharmacy in Winter Park was able to do it.
I am 62 years old and knocking on the door of age related health challenges. With my chemical sensitivities I react to just the side effects of simple medications like Dramamine and Preparation H. What am I going to do when my Doctors prescribe me a future necessary medication with ingredients I react to that could be easily compounded in a way that I can tolerate? For patients with chemical sensitivities and allergies compounding is medically necessary.

I have been on compounded hormonal therapy for many years due to the fact I had so many side effects from the regular prescriptions given to me. My side effects consisted of dizziness, nauseous and cramps. I missed a lot of work due to the fact I couldn’t get out of bed… I spent a lot of money just trying all the regular prescriptions of patches, pills, gels, sublingual and creams…nothing worked until I tried the compounded. Finally my life started to feel normal again.
Please, let my voice be heard to not limit or ban the compounded hormonal therapy!

I knew in my mid to late 40’s that something had changed and as a registered nurse l was blaming peri- menopause. My doctor had suggested antidepressants and anti anxiety medication but l was not a fan of those and felt this was more menopausal than depression.
I met Dr. Ayala on a visit to my regular doctor who referred me.
Dr. Ayala ran a series of tests but suspected l was experiencing a hormonal imbalance. I was angry a lot which isn’t a good thing with my job and was creating problems at home also. I was frustrated and cried a lot also.
I wasn’t sleeping either which just escalated things.
Dr. Ayala upon getting the results said l needed hormone therapy and the bio synthetic hormone replacement was safer.
It has been 17 years now and although we have tweaked the strength now and then according to lab results and how l am feeling l feel we finally found something that has kept me more balanced and essentially saved my personal and professional life. I feel these are beneficial and much safer than regular hormone therapy and l have had regular Pap smears without incidence.
Please don’t take this away from me as l don’t want to get lost again. I depend on this for my well being, sleep and balance.
My husband and family need me as l am now not as l was before.
