Without the opportunity to use compounded hormone therapy, my life would not be the same. I went to my doctor (in fact I went to three doctors) and tried various other drugs....nothing touched the hot flashes and the affect they were having on my ability to sleep and get through the day. Thank goodness for hormone therapy. Restricting this option will NOT be a benefit to women. As it is, I have to pay for it totally out of pocket. It's worth every penny.
