 Dear Sir Or Madam,

My  name is Georgia Pate and I have been taking bio-identical hormones for 4 years.  It has been a tremendous comfort to me as it alleviates all of the symptoms commonly associated with menopause, ie: hot flashes, night sweats, emotional swings, sleep disruptions,depression, mental fogginess, vaginal dryness and decreased libido.  I consult with my physician, who prescribes bio-identical hormones specifically for me and my pharmacist prepares them.  Without this medication I would once again have to deal with all of the above mentioned problems.  Having lived with those symptoms for several years before discovering Bio-identical hormone replacement, I can not tell you how much I would suffer with them again should I be denied the opportunity to use these wonderful products.  The benefit of BHRT (Bio-identical hormone replacement thereapy) is that it is identical to the hormones my body would procuce, and is designed specifically for me. And I am very concerned that Wyeth's petition (Docket #2005P-0411) would limit the ability of my physician and pharmacist to keep prescirbing and preparing these individualized doses for me.  The  FDA should REJECT Wyth's petition.

Sincerely,

Georgia B. Pate
