The cBHT has made me feel human again. I had a complete hysterectomy at 40 and was put into early menopause before the surgery. At 40 I was hot, manic, foggy, yet I was told that'S normal while going through the changes. I was placed on regular HRT and did not feel any better for five years so I went off of them. I found a bioidentical doctor and received the compounded hormones. Then I finally began to feel normal again. I am 57 years of age and have recovered from hot flashes, anic highs and lows, and depression. It is so strange to actually feel cold now when for so many years I was hot no matter the season. I know from family history my body does not produce natural hormones so I REALLY need my cBHT to function normally. I do not want to thrust back into an unbalanced hormonal world again.
