I am a user of a bio-identical hormone cream. Six years prior to trying this cream I took prescription anti-depressants in hopes of treating PMS symptoms. I tried many different types of drugs over the years (all under my doctors care). Some would work for awhile, others did not work at all. I was becoming desperate as was my doctor. She even sent me to a psychiatrist because she had run out of "drug options." The psychiatrist prescribed something I had tried once before with the hopes that the conditions would be better this time and it might work...it did not. It was during this last "drug trial" that I discovered bio-identical progesterone cream. Within 3 months my entire life had changed. I was completely off of all prescription drugs....I was using the hormone cream for 2 weeks out of the month and for the first time in years I felt like I was "normal."
It is my understanding that the FDA is trying to make a decision to ban bio-identical hormone creams and such....I beg of you...do not do this....for myself and women just like me (and I know several) who have finally found "balance" in their lives because of this cream....PLEASE do not ban the sale or production of bio-identical hormone creams. Sincerely, Tammie Jones | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
