When I lost all my natural hormones due to surgery, my life changed dramatically, for the worse! I had extreme mood swings, severe hot flashes, and could never get a good night's sleep. I would finally fall asleep for 30 minutes, and then wake suddenly with my night clothes wringing wet! I gained 30 pounds, even though I did not increase my calories, and have spent the last 60 years living and working on a family farm. Talk about experiencing negative symptoms, boy did I. Of course I was depressed. Thank heavens my gynecologist listened and prescribed bioidentical hormones, specifically for my individual needs, as each person is indeed different. These hormones changed my life and helped me feel "normal" again.

Hear their stories. Protect their own words. Protect their access to compounded medicines.

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.

Explore our interactive map that demonstrates the importance of compounded medicines to patients all across the country. Filter these first-hand accounts by state to see just how vital compounded medicines are.
