Two years ago I began to feel tired, my legs and arms ached, and all my energy was gone, I could barely climb the stairs. After many doctor visits and tests I discovered I had gone through early menopause. I was only 38 at the time. My OBGYN talked to me about all my options. Due to my age and severity of symptoms he recomended different types of HRT. I made the choice to start taking bioidentical hormones prescribed for me by my doctor. I continue to see my doctor on a regular basis, and I have never had an adverse reaction to my medication, (tri-est2.5mg, progesterone 5% cream). The change the bioidentical horomones made in me was miraculous, I have my energy, with no pain. It's a cliche but it's true bioidentical hormones gave me my life back. I don't want to think about what I would have to endure if they were pulled from the market. I don't like the synthetic nature of the types of HRT, and I have taked to 2 women who stopped talking primpro because of bad reactions. My doctor and I made a choice, I was glad to have a choice, please don't remove my choice! Thank You, Ruthann Martinez, Oceanside, CA
