When I turned 49, I had one ovary and fallopian tube removed, due to pelvic adhesion syndrome. It put me into IMMEDIATE surgically induced menopause. For one year I tried all manor of OTC remedies, home remedies, and suffered terribly throughout. Headaches, 24/7 sweats, nausea, insomnia, and a host of other daily maladies, brought on menopause. At 50, I sought out a practitioner that specialized in BHRT. Pellets for the estrogen/testosterone, and compounded progesterone in the cream form. In a few weeks, I felt better than I had in a very long time. At about the 2nd year of being on BHRT, for some strange reason, my Dr. decided to put me on traditional pill form of progesterone. I filled the script and after about 10 days of taking it, I suffered from horrible headaches. Blood pressure, musculoskeletal and all other causes of headache were eliminated and all that was left was the progesterone. I called the pharmacist and he informed me that yes, the progesterone capsules that are prescribed have headache as one of the top three side effects. I requested my physician immediately place me back on the compounded progesterone and after about a week, headaches went away and long story short, I am now 59, feel great and highly recommend to anyone that will listen that they, too, should consult their physician about BHRT. Its safe, effective, and if taken away, I will suffer, as I am sure many, many other people will as well. Please do not make compounded BHRT/HRT preparations unavailable or less available to patients. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and for considering my request.
