“Very positive”

I am a female who has gone through menopause. I suffer terrible anxiety. When I started having hot flashes, I began to have panic attacks along with them. It was devastating.
My quality of life dropped and I was desperate. I went to my doctor who first prescribed HRT. First of all, I was concerned about the oral tablet I had to take passing through my liver and being processed by my liver. Then, the secondary patch I had to wear on my stomach wouldn't stay on my tummy.
The whole process was challenging and I just couldn't do it.

I did many, many hours of research about compounded bio-identical hormone therapy replacement and decided to try it. I felt the research showed it was safer because the substance didn't pass through the liver. Also, the sublingual tablets seemed to be a better alternative for me and they were much better for me!
Much easier to take and I felt much safer taking them. The good new is,I am on a very low dose. Compounded hormones can be tailored more easily for each person's needs. The cBHT stopped my hot flashes, which stopped my panic attacks! I had my life back. I am forever grateful.
I feel each person should have a choice as to which way they use hormone replacement therapy. I personally wonder if this is just drug companies trying to stop compound therapies from helping people for their own monetary benefit.
After all my research and positive experience,
I feel safe, secure and happy with my compounded hormones, my cBHT. Please trust me to make my own best decision about what I need. Thank you. Sincerely, Tracy Wagley

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.
