| I have been taking bioidencial hormones for over 1 year. This treatment has been a tremendous help to me alleviating many menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, fatigue, irregular sleep patterns, etc. After much research and consultation with my physician, who prescribes bioidentical hormone therapy for me, I am confident that I have chosen the right treatment. Without bioidential hormone therapy my life would be greatly altered as I would have to deal with debilitating hot flashes and other severe symptoms I experienced before starting BHRT. My compounding pharmacist prepares this medication for me and I have found it to be consistent and of a high quality. I urge you to reject Wyeth's petition which obviously is motivated by their own greed. I'm sure they are losing a lot of money because millions of women like me are saying NO to Premarin and choosing alternatives treatments for menopause. Please do not limit us in our choices and force us to go backwards!
Sincerely, Gayle DiGiovanni Broken Arrow, OK | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
