I struggled with post menopausal symptoms for years(over fifteen)and did take HRT from a pharmaceutical company until I became concerned about the long term effects of these medication. I went for months without any medication replacement therapy and suffered with hot flashes, momentary memory lapses, loss of sleep and worst of all sexual dysfunction. I was remarried five years ago and went to my medical provider with these problems hoping to get help for some of them before I was married. My provider ordered a special compound of estrace and testostrone which was a huge help in reducing the symptoms I have struggled with. I have had nothing but positive results with these medications and would be devastated if I was not able to receive them any more. I hope you as government officials will weigh the facts fully before you decided the fate of these valuable medication.
