Bioidentical Hormones
I read the book pretty much cover to cover in two days. Hope!! It basically tells you there are doctors out there that will work with YOU and not just hand out a one size fits all remedy. It's hormone therapy, the natural bioidentical way. There are interviews with a variety of specialists, including Suzanne Somers personal doctor, Dr. Schwarzbein, an endocrinologist in Santa Barbara, California.
I tried to get in to Dr. Schwarzbein but she just recently is not taking any new patients. I guess she has been swamped with requests since the book came out. I do know that the wait used to be about five months and the cost for tests and visits very high. She believes in a lot of monitoring and testing, and I wondered how she would ever be able to follow up with you because of her patient load, traveling and teaching schedule. I'm sure Suzanne can get in whenever she wants, but don't know about other people. Add that to the fact that she believes you have to get your period back to do it right. Yep, you heard me right! Yikes! Would I really want to do that? I guess it wouldn't be so bad now but would I want to have it at 80 or 90?? On the other hand, if you felt good would it really matter? The interview with her does make it sound like that's the only way you should do it....really makes you wonder. No matter, can't get in.
So I was back to the same problem. No one to go to. Most people must read this book and realize that it sounds great but if you can't find someone who knows how to prescribe and follow up then you're back to square one and even more frustrated than before.
I started doing some more research online, mainly on doctors' opinions of the book. A lot of them agreed with the bioidentical hormones, but had differing opinions on the way to do it. For example, do you test with blood tests or saliva tests? Do you take pills or creams? Everyone says something different so how do you know?
I went for my annual Pap smear and talked to my gynecologist. She doesn't work with bioidentical hormones but was now able to recommend someone who does. She is an RN and CNP (Certified Nurse Practitioner) and has been working with hormones for years. I have made an appointment. Maybe I have finally found an answer! Will keep you posted.

BioHRT is an online health care organization that provides professional medical services to female patients who suffer hormone imbalances due to PMS and menopause. BioHRT's physicans specialize in custom Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy and they can prescribe a treatment program designed to improve your Quality of Life and have it delivered right to your door.
Posted by: daysi at November 3, 2005 4:33 PM
After reading these entries I noticed that BioHRT must have posted a message above mine. I have been using their online BHRT doctor for about three months now and I have nothing but positive things to say. They are extremely efficient and way less expensive than my local physician. I had to get a saliva test which came from Aeron Labs and they forwarded the results directly to the physician prior to my consultation. Any of you who are looking for BioIdenticals should visit www.biohrt.com. Their program is excellent!

I have been doing research on bioidentical hormones for a project and am a member of dr. erika's online community and she just sent an email out to her members with a doctor in the dc area that has been trained in the dr. erika method. Here is his info. I realize this is late but you never know Ina might check back.
Dr. Alan Terlinsky is located in Washington DC and covers patients from Maryland and Virginia and can be reached at the following: ATerlinsky@aol.com

Hormone Physicians is dedicated to helping women and men overcome the painful realities of menopause and andropause. Hormone Physicians specializes in "Natural Hormone Pellet Therapy". NHPT is a safe and effective way to deliver natural hormones throughout the day for 4 to 6 months. If you suffer from menopause, anxiety, weight issues, lack of interest in sex, etc. See if Hormone Physicians isn't right for you.

At 44, I was experiencing a multitude of symptoms but thought I was too young for menopause. After my workup, I found I was actually pre-menoupausal and was completely off-balance hormonally. My estradiol, progesterone, and thyroid were low, my progesterone completely non-existent. My therapy was individualized for my deficiencies only, and I have had fabulous results. I feel great. I felt positive results within several days of therapy, but after 3 mos., I feel absolutely fantastic. My doctor monitors my blood work and "tweaks" as necessary. My quality of life has improved tremendously. Bioidentical horomone therapy was the right choice for me. I have only positive things to say.

Where can I find a bioidentical physician in northern New Jersey?
Posted by: Chris at October 12, 2006 12:51 PM
For northern New Jersey, try Dr. Karen Hoebich, in Westfield, gyn for bioidentical hormones. She's been specializing in it lately, and doesn't do Obstetrics anymore. She works closely with Belvidere Pharmacy in North Plainfield, a woman-owned compounding pharmacy.

I've heard that the pellets are better than pills, creams or liquids. I know they treat the testosterone and estrogen deficiency. However, I would like to know if the pellets include progesterone deficiency treatments as well.
Thank you
Ana

I've heard GREAT things about pellet type BHRT called SottoPelle. It originated near the Phoenix area. There is a doctor in Nanuet NY also one near Chattanooga TN. Do a search, call them to find one in your area. I am scheduled to visit the one in NY.
Posted by: rita at October 25, 2006 4:57 PM
Go to sottopelle.com for a list of doctors around the U.S. that have been trained using BHRT pellets. bio-ID progesterone is given in capsule form obtained from a compounding pharmacy in a dosage based on your blood levels. You may have to adjust the amount from time to time. You take it typically 10 days a month so you have a period. Dr. Tutera has recommended I get an ablation to destroy the uterine lining so I'll have little or no bleeding. I've gone to 2 allopathic docs that don't know/do BHRT & they're always alarmed at the thickness of my endometrium (uterine lining) & the size of my uterus. It's because I'm physiologically in my 30s & they're expecting my insides to look like I'm 57! So be prepared for a difficult time getting them to understand!

I am interested in BioHRT, cost; is one to be on it for the rest of ones life; and does it just keep you where you are at from the point of start of treatment; What happens if you go off? I have an issue with a fybroid tumor, my doctor says if poses no threat at this time and if i can cruise through menopause it will go away on its own. BioHRT will change that outcome won't it?

I ordered progesterone - bioidential liquid to put 3 droppersful on my skin - over the internet. This site -and others- claim that the problems are caused by a lack of progesterone, not estrogen. They claim we have way too much estrogens in our diets and environment - like laundry soap. Is this something anyone else does? Do I have to spend the money for testing? My closest Dr. is 2 hours away. Thanks, as I am confused and starting to think looking stupid.

I was diagnosed with endometriosis and adenomyosis and ended up with a complete hysterectomy. Bioidentical hormones saved my life! I went to Dr. Grant Williams who trained with Dr. Diana Schwarzbein,and sees all of her patients since she has retired from clinical practice. I have had tremendous results. He works on lifestyle changes as well, because of the strong connection between lifestyle and hormones. He is in Santa Barbara.

Hi, I live on Long Island - Suffolk County, I noticed a posting listed for Great Neck - but if anyone knows of a bio Dr. closer to Suffolk that would be good, also my Dr. who delivered my first baby 13 years ago, does not believe in Bioidenticals and feels it's totally bogus -- she started me on an estrogen patch and then I will take progesterone 14 days every other month - after two weeks my flashes feel even worse and I am getting a crampy feeling - don't want to up the dose because of fear of cancers -- any thoughts??

Posted by: Holly Walker at June 4, 2007 2:46 PM
For all of you out there who are on a quest for BHRT - good luck! I have been searching for years to find a doctor in New Jersey (especially one who accepts insurance because their fees are quite high). Not to mention the prescription costs, follow-up visits, initial & re-testing of saliva & blood. My regular ob/gyn that I have been with for over 30 years is not familiar with Bio so I had to look elsewhere or go on the regular HRT. I've traveled throughout the state for hours going to some natural doctors who just wound up giving me (what was later discovered) over the counter creams (did nothing). Not too many doctors out there that are practicing this type of Bio therapy as the major drug companies have the corner on the market. After many hours wasted & too much money spent I am at wits end. I just recently came across a site on the web which might be helpful to a lot of us.
Here is a link that I am going to try. http://www.project-aware.org/Resource/Pharm.shtml
It is a list of compounding pharmacies in the U.S. that have prescribed compounded bio treatment. I'm going to give each one a call to find out the names of the doctors that they associate with. From there I'm hoping to find a good doctor match.

I've been reading a great deal about the BHRT....I read I think on the Project Aware site about how the drug company who made Premarin (doesn't that cause cancer?) has tried to block the FDA from allowing access to BHRT in the past....? has anyone heard of this as well? I am astonished that there are so many (I think the majority) of women out there suffering with menopause and pre-menopause symptoms and Drs are out there prescribing anti-depressants to treat these symptoms! What is going on?

I was diagnosed with osteoporosis at the age of 40, and went into early menopause at the age of 42. I read Dr. Lee's book and tried natural progesterone cream for two years but my bone density did not improve, nor did it worsen. I did lots of testing and saw several different doctors both of the Naturalist type and the Mainstream. Then I started taking Actonel out of fear. There just didn't seem to be enough security regarding the BHRT. I took Actonel for 5 years and now at the age of 50 by bone density has gotten a little worse. (Z score = - 2.9).
I am now being told to try Forteo, but that drug has a black box warning regarding bone cancer. I am willing to try a BHRT regimine again but there is also cancer risk with that.
Any ideas out there? I am going to see a new doctor who prescribes BHRT in my area. However, I know from past experience that hormones are complicated anything in excess may cause a chain reaction of new or different hormones.

I live in richmond virginia. I had a hysterectomy many years ago. In the last 5 years I have gained 25 lbs, been diagnosed with depression, fibromyalsia, GERD, anxiety, sleep problems, high cholesteral, and have been precribed many meds for all of these conditions plus synthetic hormones. I am very irritable, grouchy, sleepy, exhausted. I feel like I can not function. I had to quit a very well paying job because of all of the so called fibromyalgia pain. I found this site and I finally have hope. I went to see Melissa Clayton,NP with Iron Bridge Family Practice. They do accept insurance. I took my saliva test and I am now waiting for my results.

Doctors who understand this are few and far between. Be very careful who you go to. I went to one of the doctors that contributed to Suzanne Somers' books and had a HORRIBLE experience! Figured if he was basically recommended by her he would be good. Very wrong....and spent a small fortune. Well known does not mean competent.

There is a doctor in Lubbock that does bio identical hormones. He is a biochemist and an internal medicine doctor. Dr. Robinson. A friend sees him and says he is wonderful and he creates compounded hormones based on blood tests and other perameters.

Regarding finding doctors who do BHRT, if you google for the American Board of Anti-Aging Practitioners you can find a directory of certified doctors in your city (not sure they all are experienced at bhrt). Also, I found success in first locating a compounding pharmacy near you, and they know doctors. But, wow, these doctors could certainly do a better job of marketing themselves, huh? Maybe that will be my next job (I'm not an MD, but I love the way this field of medicine can truly help people!!)

I use the SottoPelle pellets and am wondering if this is the best BHRT for me. They are easy as you just need to have them put in and forget about them. I'm ready for a more and am just wondering if this is the right type for me so doing research.
For Michelle in Seattle there is a clinic in Portland that does the pellets. Search SottoPelle they will list Drs trained by Dr Tutera.

I was diagnosed with Osteopenia in my late 30's and I started taking Evista.
Menopause was in full bloom by the time I was 45. My Osteopenia progressed into Osteoperosis and I gave in and tarted taking HRt but I took ACTIVELLA a plant hormone.. and calcium, And FOSAMAX. My bones started to heal and I regressed to osteopenia. I celebrated by Parachute jumping..something I NEVER would have considered before.
I want to tell everyone to seriously consider healing their bones instead of letting time go by. My sister has compression fractures and can't stand straight.

Posted by: DIANA JOY WOLF at December 20, 2007 11:01 AM
to the above poster who mentioned dr. laura stone in Alexandria, Va. I went to her several months ago because her secretary/office mamager April told me she treats younger PMS women with bioidentical hormones. I also have chronic lyme disease so needed someone who could understand my hormone issues in the context of LD. well, April told me what I wanted to hear. I go in to see dr. stone, my first impression was good--for demeanor and giving a gentle pelvic exam, Dr. Stone gets an A+ as for helping me with pms and lowish estrogen,hair loss, dry skin, vaginal dryness,insomnia, cyclical depression/anxiety-- it was a complete waste of time. i thought she was going to help me, but she didn't. Instead Dr. Stone dumped me on one of her MD associates--it turned into a nightmare for me.
It seems to me if women need hormone help and they're only 30, they best go to someone like Uzzi Reiss, MD or Elizabeth Lee Vliet, MD, John Arpels, MD who "get" just how bad this stuff can be. I'm done with docs who don't get it or don't want to listen-- I'm going to get REAL help from one of the aforementioned doctors. I want individualized attention that requires docs who think outside the box and not push anti-depressants, synthetic hormone BCPs(who in their right mind would want synthetic hormones over the real thing--DUH) or blanket diagnose patients with their "pet" diagnosis such as sub clinical hypothyroidism for everyone and their sister who walks through the door .
I am certainly aware of subclinical hypothyroidism--it is real for many, HOWEVER, a doctor must arrive at this diagnosis carefully, not in a sloppy-no exam manner--and perscribe ARmour over the phone--HELLO! I want a doctor who looks at every individual and the circumstance of THEIR situation. I've yet to find such help in a gyn or endo. At least i know through reading and chatting with others online, Vliet, Arpel and Reiss "get" PMS and would not be so foolish to tell a patient with chronic Lyme to discontinue their antibiotics with no medical supervision (or consultation with Lyme doctor on the issue) as Dr. Stone's associate instructed me to do. I am also not going to put up with the "you're too young to have premenopausal symptoms" anymore. Women KNOW when their hormones are not working,thank God for Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet and her book "IT'S MY OVARIES, STUPID!"

Cynthia, I saw your entry re: a BHRT MD in DFW area. I live in San Antonio now and am looking, too, for someone local. HOWEVER, I did go to Dr. W. (Dub) Howard in Carrolton near Dallas. Beware! I got inserts about 4 times and went out of his office each time wanting to scream. Huge fees but wouldn't consider looking at my testosterone levels (or any hormone other than estrogen) or combine any services into one visit to spare me extra flights. Developed heavy bleeding, and they suggested endometrial issues but did nothing more. Each flight there for a a visit found one of their key providers off for the day, so I could never get a complete physical. I was desperate to find someone who did pellets and kept going back year-after-year even though Howard makes me furious each time. Now, I'm willing to fly anywhere else where I can get less greedy and more comprehensive attention to the whole hormone spectrum.
Let me know if you find someone else in TX. I'm willing to fly outside of TX, too, just to find a good provider.

I'm not sure if I should even go this route because I've been post menopause for over 5 years. I need to talk to somebody though because the flashes continue, have Osteopenia and my hair is thinning.
Posted by: Marge at January 4, 2008 8:57 AM
Why does it seem like so many writers here seem to be leaning towards the pellets that need implantation? Wouldn't you rather be more independent of your practitioner, and just apply creams daily, which are adjustable by you (via phonecalls with your dr and compounding pharmacist)? I've been on 3 hormones plus Armour thyroid for 3 mos and am doing great. Finally have a sex drive again (age 42) and more energy. For those who've written about bone problems, please don't forget about getting your Vitamin D levels right either through sunlight/tanning spa or oral supplementation. See the writings of Dr. Michael F. Holick (The UV Advantage).

Does anyone know a good doctor who specializes in bioidentical hormone treatment in Detroit Michigan? I would appreciate any help.
Posted by: Sharon-Baron at January 9, 2008 6:25 PM
I am in the Southern California area and was going to call Dr. Diana Schwarzbein (the physician that treated Suzanne Sommers) but apparently she has discontinued her clinical practice and lectures/writes books regarding BioHRT.
I am desperate, the lack of sleep and discomfort of continual hot flashes is affecting every aspect of my life. It is becoming increasingly difficult to function normally in the work place.
My history: I have suffered with hot flushes (neck and face only) and night sweats since I was 39. But since I was still cycling (very heavily), my GYN informed me I was peri menipausal and stated matter of factly I could suffer with this for years. Being from an established medical community that only looks to synthetic drugs, her answer was to put me on the pill in my 40's. I took the pill for 2 years knowing I was increasing my probablity for breast cancer and other undesirable side effects. I didn't need birth control, I was ligated. My husband and I began a process of educating ourselves about the adverse affects of synthetic medications/foods. As a result I stopped taking the pill and purged my system with a total body cleanse over three years ago. I weaned myself from synthetic sugar replacements and my husband and I began to buy and eat as many organic foods as possible. We learned to read the labels on everything, including over the counter medications that one would think are void of sucralose like Metamucil or Airborne (which is supposed to be "all natural"). Additionally we switched to whole food organic vitamin/mineral supplements and medications. I am a very athletic and active woman. I work full time, we own a ranch with a Stallion and broodmares and breed Quarter Horses and Paints. I ride, train and compete my barrel horses. I turned 50 in August and even with all this dietary preparation I AM A WRECK. I have not cycled now since the beginning of last September. All of 2007 was very erratic for cycles, 2 months on 3 months off, 1 month on 2 months off, etc. About 1-1/2 months ago I began to suffer ALL DAY with consistent hot flashes, my short term memory though previously affected seems to now be non existant. I can't sleep because of the unbearable night sweats and am gaining weight even though I am careful with what I ingest. The sleep depravation is contributing to chronic fatigue, my lack of patience and a very undesireable attitude overall. Those of you have suffered with these type symptoms for longer, my hat is off to you. I don't know how you do it, God bless your hearts.
Reading these posts I have noted several ladies asking for references to "proven" physicians who work with BioHRT. I have searched the internet and am thinking now I will try this Dr. Uzzi Reiss in Beverly Hills even though that location is 2 1/2 hours away for me. Something in the Santa Clarita/Valencia area would be much closer, but like the others I want a physician that is experienced with this type of therapy. I KNOW there are more ladies out there like me that just want to be "normal" again and continue to live as high a quality of life as possible.
PLEASE...does anyone have a recommendation for an experienced physician (other than those I noted) who takes the time to analyze each patient and individually customize the coumpounded hormone therapy cream in the Southern California area?

I am seeking an experienced MD who prescibes BHRT in New York City. I find this to be a very lonely search as the gynecologists/endocrinologists I have spoken with are unfamiliar with BHRT. Edison NJ Menapause Clinics of America was not a positive experience for me. Although I am 67 years old, I am absolutely determined to rejuvinate my body and fight for my physical,sexual and spiritual health. Let us just hope the costs will not be prohibitive.

She works with each person on an individulized basis and uses compounded hormones specific to each patient. I am perimenopausal and it has helped my weight, my mood and my energy level not to mention the night sweats I was starting to get. I recommend her practice highly. 805-494-8520

Hi,
I have an experienced doctor out of Pensacola, FL (North FL) that I have been seeing for over 3 years for BHRT. He offers both estrogen and testosterone replacement for women and men. He believes blood test are more accurate than salvia and analizes a persons hormone needs this way. He must be right because my hot flashes and night sweats have disappeared altogether and I sleep like a baby. Sex is fantastic ~ the testosterone replacement really helps with my orgasms.
It sounds like many of you have traveled far to get a good doctor and haven't hit a home run yet. Dr Lucey is very fair with his prices and he offers a free phone consultation. His website was extremely informational too. You can check it out at http://www.hormonewizard.com and his # is 850-477-3455.

I have tried HRT while living in AZ. I began to drop weight by a pound a day, my moods became stablized and my thoughts clear. I was unable to continue on the program because it was expensive and not covered by insurance. I am desperate to get back on hormones. I feel very bad being off of them. Perhaps it is more noticable because I quit them suddenly after feeling so good for the first time in my life for almost a year. I highly recommend them, but make sure you see someone who knows how to prepare the right compounds for you individual needs. You will be amazed at how wonderful you feel.

I am currently suffering from all the effects of menopause. I have had a hysterectomy but still have my ovaries. To make a long story short I believe in the biohrt hormones because it all makes sense. I have tried all the natural stuff such as soy products & cohosh but it has not worked. I am making an appt. for my yearly checkup with my GYN who originally last year gave me the lowest dose of Premarin. The side affects were bad and I threw them away. I have been toughing it out for the last year with hot flashes, night sweats, memory loss you name it. Not to mention my insurance didn't cover the Premarin. I am hoping for a miracle when I get my yearly check up to find out if my doctor can refer me to a doctor or maybe a nurse practicioner in Maryland. At least I can get my levels checked and find out where I am as far as my hormonal needs. Up to this point I did not think the bioidentical hormone treatment existed. I read a book on it and I started feeling some hope. It is ashame women have to suffer for something so natural as these bioidentical hormones that cost really very little but are so hard to get because noone will make them available since they cannot make any money off of them.
Don't give up ladies. Lets demand these things and do not take no for an answer. Forge on for future women!

Well I have Premature Ovulation Failure that runs in my family. Thank G** I have two beautiful children that I had in my early twenties. That being said at 35 I produced the hormone level of a ninety year old woman....90....I crashed in the worst way and at a very difficult time in other areas too...Several Dr.s thought I was nuts and tried to diagnos me with a bunch of things from depression, fybromialgia, irregular periods, tumors etc. Just as fate would have it, I had been to a Dr that is a fertility specialist to have my tubes done so I wouldnt have to worry about birth control the year before. I was in Jupiter and saw his office and drug myself in there like a worn out rag. He took one look at me and knew something was wrong. I didnt have hot flashes, I had one GIANT HOT FLASH that had lasted months at that point. I only slept 1-2 hours at a time and would just about pass out all during the day. My skin turned to paper and my once muscle toned body was deteriorating rapidly. He took a swab in my mouth went out of the room and when he came back he put a pill under my tounge and began to tell me about Ovulation Failure and its deadly affects. Frightened as I was, as he talked to me the lights came back on and I could comprehend and absorb.I COULD CONCENTRATE>>>WOOOHOOOO....I was SO grateful to him. GIRLS...look for a fertility specialist, look for clinical studies, call everybody in the phone book and ask them if they know about hormones...If they dont then ask if they know who does...BUG THEM...Some of these Dr.s just dont know and they like to learn new things too...There are many things that can and do affect all kinds of hormones and scientist are doing wonderful work and we will get to the bottom of many of these things very soon with thier help. I suffer from a genetic auto immune disorder that affects my hormones but I think all kinds of people, men included have hormonal imbalances too. Keep looking and talking to anyone you can until you get answers. Be aggressive too...the sqeaky wheel gets the grease....I saw Dr. Seth Herst in Jupiter and wellington, FL.

I had a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy 16 years ago. I have been on a long term emotional and physical roller coaster ride with hormone replacement.Pellets work the best. Sometimes the travel to get them, and most certainly the money is worth every penny paid. It is a crime to have to pay this much for a surgery that should not even be done. Let's pray for research. Keep searching the net. Call the hers foundation, or sign up for the sans-uteri website to get more information on doctors that do pellet therapy. You will not regret it.

I have been on bioidentical hormones for almost two years and I found my doctor by calling a compounding pharmacy in my town and I asked the pharmacist - what doctors prescribe bioidentical hormones? and he gave me a list of doctors that he fills prescriptions for. I have tried a few different doctors - as they all have different ideas about hormones and testing - so when I feel that I am not in agreement with the doctor I look for another. I am lucky that my current doctor works very closely with my pharmacist and takes his suggestions seriously. By the way, my prescription has evolved over the past two years because it took some time to get the right combination for my metabolic rate and symptoms - so - don't give up.

I have talked to them and plan on going to see them. They have their own Compunding Pharmacy there too! I am still looking for a good Thryroid Dr. here in SA to to do a follow up I- 131 scan that would be willing to take me as a patient already using Bioidentical hormones.I have been on synthetics for 20 yrs and still do not feel normal so I know my only hope is BHRT! Most I have called do not use natural methods and would want to change me if I were on them. Does anyone know of a good Thyroid Dr. in SA that would be willing to be flexible and work with me? I might just have to use Hotze for my BHRT and use a regular Thyroid Dr. for the scan only. I hope my info helps someone!

Any one know of DR. Camille Semple-Daily D.O. in Willingboro, NJ
I think she works with Sotto Pelle.
Does any one has information about clinic.
Posted by: Anni at May 15, 2008 4:40 PM
Ladies I am a 60 year old woman who was working with a Nurse Practioner who is now turning away from BHRT. Back to the "drawing board" and SottoPelle Therapy is expensive but I may have to go with that if I cannot find another doctor for bioidentical hormones. I did find something to help me with my low energy, depressed mood, sleeping problems etc. and so I am 3/4 of the way to great health. It is a company that has created liquid vitamins that work on a cellular level and provide the nutrition you may be lacking. So many of the medical resolutions to problems seem to all have a nutritional component. Please check out this website www.mybiolink.com/kah_product and help yourself to better health while tyring to balance your hormones.

I never thought I would be a victim to my hormones, but they keep me on a wild monthly ride (I am 41 yo). I suggest you keep a daily journal of moods and aches/pains then get a hormone test done. My journal matched the up and down of my hormones ... I had severe estrogen dominance and major dips of progesterone. Look at this laboratory, http://www.diagnostechs.com/main.htm, they have saliva tests and list providers that use these tests, that may help some people find an office to help.
I have constant aches/pains, muscle and joint, and think it might be due to peri-menopause. Read up on DIM to help fight bad estrogen (Nature's Way DIM-Plus Estrogen Metabolism Formula). Watch out for petro-chemicals in your soaps and lotions.
I did go back on Loestrin birth control just to help balance me out, it's the only thing that helped me feel normal again (and no cystic acne). Oral wild yam was not helping, but I don't think I was taking enough. The cream works best, but is spendy and w/o a dr to help me, I'm not sure if I am doing it right.
Hopefully, our problems will get more medical (and less costly) support. I had my husband (40 yo) get tested for low testosterone and he was ... these hormone problems affect men too. Turns out Debra MacDonald is near me, I bet it costs a ton of money though. **sigh**

Hi, I am currently on a BHRT cream for my messed up hormones but it's not doing the trick. My doc is in TX and I am in TN so she wants me to find someone locally. Does anybody know of a good doctor with LOTS of experience using BHRT in the Nashville, Cookeville, or Crossville, TN area? I have doubts about DiagnosTechs so I would prefer a doctor who uses a different lab.

I am 44 and had a total hysterectomy when I was 22, after years of hormone replacement nothing seemed to work anymore, hot flashes, fatigue, weight gain, mood swings,anxiety, joint pain and terrible headaches, I thought life was just going to be this awful feeling everyday. Then I found Dr. R. Glaser in Dayton Ohio and started the hormone pellet..I feel like a new woman and I am still getting tweaked so I cant imagine what it will be like when my system is balanced again! The Cleveland Clinic didnt even know what to do with me and refused to research the pellet and my disappearing symptoms. There is hope and it is a shame how women are treated by physicians..pill therapy or expensive testing or procedures seem to be all they focus on..Stand up for your body and ask for a complete hormone and thyroid panel, have it read properly by an endocrinologist or bioidentical hormone replacement specialist. It makes the difference!

Dr. said I would go through menopause naturally as they did not take my ovaries. At 47 I was put on Prozac then a few years later Effexor. I feel like I'm in a fog, but I go through my daily routine.

Just happened upon this site tonight. i have been suffering with hot flashes and night sweats for years. Have not been able to find any dr. that can help. Will definitely try one of the drs. mentioned in the n. y. area. Had a hysterectomy when i wss 40. Took premarin for years, ended up with a pre-cancer in the breast, so no more premarin. Have been absolutely miserable for years . i am always hot and haven't been able to wear anything but cotton gauze clothing, even in winter. All of you out there suffering like this deserve a medal. I don't think anyone really understands how awful it is. I got to a point where I didn't want to go anywhere, because all i did was flash and sweat. I am now 71 and still at it. I hear the same comment over and over, "aren't you too old to still be going through this".? Guess not, because I am still going through it. I hope I can get some help from one of the drs. mentioned. I am desperate. Tried everything from black cohash to acupuncture so far. Thanks for the info. Will let you know if I have any success.

Posted by: Marcia Rosen at December 28, 2008 6:56 PM
Re:Dr. Michael Emmer,
I have advice;steer clear from this doctor.
Pamela,Dr Emmer did not only neglect my step daughter's hormonal health, but misdiagnosed a serious medical condition too.First, I will give you the hormone information. I don't know how Dr. Emmer treats post menopausal women but my step daughter is a younger woman. She had difficulty with PMS among other serious complaints(more about that later). He recommended a birth control pill or bio identical hormones for the PMS. He perscribed her Triest 1.25 mg alone with no progesterone. He forgot the progesterone. After 6 months of being on estrogen with no progesterone to balance it out, her hormones went crazy. Any careful doctor would not have given a young premenopausal woman estrogen without progesterone but he did.She went off the hormones and no real damage was done other than a severe temporary hormone imbalance.The real damage to her came from his misdiagnosis of her medical condition.
In 2003, my step daughter came down with a flu type illness that just seemed to linger for months and then stiff neck, fevers, hair loss,feeling of bugs crawling under then skin a middle of her face, night sweats, electrical zapping pain in her brain and spinal cord, abdominal pain, vomiting, migrating joint pain and pain that was so bad at the onset, she prayed to God to die.Before things got really bad, my step daughter made the mistake of consulting with Dr.Michael Emmer in Bethesda Maryland. With only a few basic blood tests and a couple of CT scans, he diagnosed these symptoms as "fibromyalgia."
Dr. Emmer never checked her for tender points, but gave her this diagnosis nonetheless. She went to a rheumatologist who thought this may not be her problem but with offering no real interest in finding out the issue, she figured she would just go back to Dr. Emmer because after all, he was "nice" and she belived what he told her. The rheumatologist she saw did check for tender points but didn't find any other than her inner elbow being tender from an IV from the ER visit one week earlier and some abdominal tenderness from being on her period.
Dr. Emmer perscribed many pain killers, anti anxiety and sleep drugs that could have killed a patient all to mask her symptoms as she declined further into sick state.
After begging Dr. Emmer to tests for viruses,something to explain the illness, she was shut down at every attempt being told by the nurse Kathy whom she liked very much and Dr. Emmer, that "it's the fibromyalgia."It did not matter which questions were asked, her hair falling out, migrating pain, fatigue, loss of taste and smell, he had one answer and one answer only "It's the fibromyalgia." He offered her Lyrica for the loss of smell and taste.
After getting sicker and sicker by the day, we had taken my step daughter to VCU to see a doctor about her loss of taste and smell.The otolaryngologist could not believe Dr. Emmer wanted to give my step daughter Lyrica for loss of tasted and smell when she had infected sinus cavities! He also was stunned at this "fibro" diagnosis. It took this otolaryngologist all but 5 minuets to ask my step daughter a question that would change the course of her life:
Five minuets into her evaluation he could not believe she had been left to suffer like this for three years--eating narcotics, xanax, ativan, valium, sleeping pills. The otolaryngologist asked if she ever had rashes in a circular shape before she became ill. She had, she recall she told Dr. Emmer and the rheumatologist this as well but it fell on deaf ears. The otolaryngologist suspected Lyme Disease and told her to see a specialist.
We had taken her to a specialist, she tested CDC positive for Lyme Diease, Bartonella, Erlichoisis and mycoplasma, and a few other things but I can't remember what they are called.She took the antibiotics for a month and her tasted and smell came back but the treatment made her pain worse and the fatigue and was angry at the illness, being misdignosed in the past so she gave up. Six months later she got sicker and the swelling came back in the joint. She moved back home out West and now has a doctor who will help her through the rough times.I wish we had gotten her help sooner. She had hiked almost every weekend in the country, why didn't we think of this?
When my step daughter was first diagnosed with Lyme, she abandoned the treatment after a month because she stopped trusting because of Dr. Emmer.She allowed her illness to advance out of anger which is counterproductive to getting her health and life back. The wrong doctor can do so much damage to a patient even if they don't intend to hurt them.
I would find a better hormone doctor. I could not recommend this doctor for the hormone treatments and the misdiagnosis of fibromyalgia of my daughter who had NO TENDER POINTS no less!
Over six month ago, my step daughter was visiting me, she was expressing anger about the past so I thought it might be a good idea that she call Dr. Emmer and let him know what the other doctors found out was really the problem. I had thought since she thought he was basically a nice man he would offer some assistance of some sort, to oversee her care or offer to help.She called with the speaker phone on so I could hear. Dr. Emmer didn't offer any help instead he told my step daughter that "there is no lyme in Virginia" and even if there was, it "would not hurt" her. Even if Lyme Disease did not exist in rural Virginia which is does, she has traveled all over the country, especially New England, Dr. Emmer would have known this if he cared to ask. Then she asked Dr. Emmer why he diagnosed her with a wastebasket diagnosis such as fibromyalgia especially when she had not tender points and high end of normal serotonin levels. His response was "There are hundreds of types of fibromyalgia" he was not willing to honestly answer her questions, apologize or offer any kind of help. When she asked Dr. Emmer why he didn't test her for Lyme Disease and co-infections, he laughed and stated "Only quacks test for Lyme Disease."Then he said he had to go. This was particularly hard call for her to make. I heard no concern in his voice.A slap in her face to the years of suffering under his "care."
There are better hormone doctors out there. I just read a book "It's My Ovaries, Stupid" by Dr. Elizabeth Vliet.I suggest you all read it.

Does anyone know of an MD who works with bio-identical hormones in the Portland, Oregon area or even the Seattle, Washington area?
Is it best to go to an MD versus anyone else who can prescribe therapy?
I have been feeling like crap for over 10 years, I have horrible thermostat problems, and 3 years ago (because of large fybroid tumors) had a hysterectomy. However, I have been fighting off cancer of the tongue since 1979 and just figured that all my symptoms were because of my cancer and the side effects of treatments. I have had 75+ small tonque surgeries, 3 major tonque and jaw surgeries and radiation treatment of the head/neck since 1979. As one of my jaw-related doctors told me once -- "You won't ever get any better, but you'll eventually get used to feeling bad!" My Doctor and I both doubled-up in laughter and when I'm feeling REALLY BAD, I think of what my Doctor said and it actually helps give me a little chuckle -- a good sense of humor, even if it is a little bit on thr sick side, is invaluable when dealing with chronic illness... What my Doctor said was rather doom and gloom, but sadly true in my case. However, after hearing all the symptoms of screwed up hormones and identifying with almost all of them I am SO excited to find out if some of my problems are actually related to hormone imbalance and actually may be treatable! Now to find someone to provide treatment...

Regarding someone's previous request about sotto pelle pellets.
"SottoPelle" is simply a marketing term for a subcutaneous pellet procedure that has been used extensively in Europe and Australia as well as the United States now for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Its not a new procedure, its been around since the 1930's.
There are Dr. all across the country using subcutaneous hormone pellets as a form of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.
In the Portland Oregon area, Dr. Kathryn Retzler uses many forms of bioidentical hormones including subcutaneous pellets.

For a doctor in the Northern VA area, check out Dr. Sushma Hirani. She works out of Natural Horizons Wellness Center in Fairfax and United Wellness Center in Herndon. Her web address is www.drhiranionline.com. So far, I've only had my first consultation with her and am waiting to discuss my test results at my next appointment. I found her to be knowledgable, personable, and thorough, and she really took the time to talk with me and address my concerns. Appointments usually book months in advance, but you can make an appointment and then ask to be put on a waiting list if anything sooner becomes available. Good luck!

Does anyone have any postive feedback on Dr. Alan Terlinsky or Dr. Donna Hurlock? What about the visit to Dr. Sushma Hirani? I'm looking for a doctor who believes in helping women and using bioidential.
Posted by: Tammy at February 16, 2009 10:14 AM
I've only had one visit with Dr. Hirani (an initial consultation) and, based on that, I found it to be a very positive experience. She took her time in answering my questions and in reviewing my answers to her questionnaire, was very personable, seemed genuinely interested in helping, and was quick to respond to my email. She came recommended to me by a local compounding pharmacy who had good things to say about her, and she seems to be well in demand in the area.
Posted by: MFP at February 16, 2009 9:48 PM
For anyone looking for a doctor, you can try calling the Professional Compounding Centers of America at 1-800-331-2498. Ask them if they can provide you with the names and phone numbers of compounding pharmacies in your area. Then, call the pharmacies and ask if they can give you the names of any doctors in the area that prescribe bioidentical hormones (these will be the name of doctors that the pharmacy does business with). The pharmacist may even be willing to make a personal recommendation if you ask him/her. Another source is Life Extension Foundation at 1-800-226-2370, as recommended by Suzanne Somers in her book. When I called them, they did not try to sell me anything, but I was asked to provide them with my name and address, which put me on their email list. The person I spoke with provided me with as many doctor names as I wanted, and he seemed genuinely interested in helping me any way he could (actually, it was he who gave me the idea of calling the Compounding Centers of America). Good luck!

Posted by: Janet Simmons at February 22, 2009 8:01 PM
For those of you who are looking for a doctor to prescribe bioidentical hormones, look in the yellow pages under Compoound Pharmacy. Call the Compound Pharmacy and ask them to give you names of several doctors who prescribe bioidentical hormones. Personally, I would ask for M.D.s only. I've had bad experiences with D.O.s, therefore, I don't recommend them. You can even go one step further, and ask the pharmacist to recommend doctors who can prescribe bioidentical hormones without a pharmacist's help. Many doctors rely on the pharmacist to tell them what to prescribe. Good luck!

The best doctor I found for bio-identicals in New York City is Dr. Rashmi Gulati, 1-212-679-9667. The web site is www.patientsmedical.com .
She discovered that the reason for my hot flashes was that my adrenals were very low, and is the only doctor who balanced my thyroid, adrenals glands and female hormones together. She prescribed bio-identicals plus compunded thyroid as the synthroid my other doctor prescribed was not working for me as I had problems coverting T4 to T3.
Net result is my hot flashes are gone and I feel 10 years younger. Thank god for healers like Dr. Rashmi Gulati.

I have been going to Dr. Rubin in Naples, FL. He is a BodyLogic trained doctor trained in anti-aging medicine by Body Logic.He is also board certified in Geriatrics and internal medicine. I think he is great. He tests both blood and saliva.
Body Logic has set up an very easy way to receive meds through several compound pharmacies that they use. Even the saliva tests are sent through the mail and a prepaid ups envelope for the patient to return to the lab. Initial blood work can be done at many large walk in labs, like Quest.
Anyone who is taking bio-identical hormones without testing should stop. The testing is the key to proper balance.
I haven't heard of any bio-identical hormone doctor who takes insurance. I don't think insurance will pay for this, unfortunately. We are still in the dark ages !!
Check and see if Body Logic has a doctor in your area.
http://www.bodylogicmd.com/
Body Logic has been written up in Suzanne Sommers books.
My husband is also going to Dr. Rubin. He has an office in Naples and Tampa, Florida.
Initial cost was $ 395.00 for first visit. $ 275.00 for follow up. The first few times you will have to go every 3 months. After that it should be every six months.
My hormones cost me approximately $ 100.00 per month, at this point.
Dr. Rubin also found that I have Adrenal fatigue and is treating me also for that. With having Chronic Epstein Barr and Chronic Fatigue for the last 10 years, it was no wonder that I have adrenal fatigue.
I feel that Body Logic does take the better doctors and trains them in anti-aging medicine. You can read the Doctors bio's on Body Logic website.
I hope this helps someone.

This is for Leslie, looking for a bio-dr/clinic near Clarksville,Nashville. I have been going to the HRC medical clinic. I did the pellets for almost a year and the therapy consisted of a good size pellet of testosterone every 3 or 4 mos. I only had two pellets of estrogen out of the 9 mos that I gave this program a try, and that was on my first visit and my next to the last. My hot flashes and night sweats subsided but my facial hair increased, my shoulders became broader, and I could not walk across the room w/out becoming aroused. The cost was $2100 for 1 yr. of monitored treatment, and the only time that I saw the dr.(also have an office in Knoxville) was when I voiced my dissatisfaction w/the program and overall treatment. I feel that ALL of the hormones should be checked for imbalance to properly address HRT. That includes your pregnenelone, cortisol, DHEA, HGH, etc. You can't just start in the middle of the hormone chain and expect to successfully address this problem. I suggest you read Suzanne Sommers (Breakthrough) so that you can equip yourself w/beneficial information/knowledge BEFORE you see a Dr. I am in the process of trying to find another dr/clinic because I was not completely satisfied w/HRC. Their web is www.hormonereplacementcenters.com if you would like to check them out, but I would advise you to not waste your time and money. I will keep you posted on my search if you would like.

I would not use the "Women to Women Center" Maine(founded by Dr.Christine Northrup-she's written books appeared on Oprah ) They do not do testing they go by symptoms only unless you insist on being tested. They use the same approach to everyone even though they claim they individualize everything specially to you.I know this because I have since met up with 3 other women who tried going to "Women to Women's" and were prescribed the same exact treatment I was. They throw you on a low dose pre-made estradial patch (bio identical but a standard dose patch) which I could get from any pharmacy or through my regular PCP with no compounding it is a regular prescription strength. They tell you wait a few months for symptoms to change then go on some progestrerone- again at a dose not compounded to what you need, no tests done (they claim tests are a waste of time in person but their website says otherwise) the way they prescribe is by guessing (and I do mean that literally) by your symptoms only. I tried sticking this out with them this way for over 3 months and just continually got worse and worse. I watch my diet carefully ,am regular size for my height, etc. I was not getting worse because of not taking care of myself it was in direct response to what they were recommending. The staff was also rude or very flighty twice my chart was mixed up with someone else and I had to repeatedly point it out.-The nurse was acting like she was on something honestly!I could not believe I had to repeatedly insist I was not the person whose chart she had and showed her the name 4 times before she agreed! They were horrible at returning phone calls had to wait up to a week for any response.They do a lot of marketing and do not follow what they say on their website. It is hard to see the same practitioner they all work part time(all are Nurse Practitioners no doctors) Notes are left in charts from one practitioner to the next as the only means of knowing what is going on. The notes in one case were again mixed up from someone else chart mixed up in mine. (the spelling were not even close so I can't make an excuse for that)The place is also not very clean. The socks covering the examining table stirrups were matted and filthy and the side of the table looked as though it had not been cleaned in a very long time there was visible dirt marks all over it. This place does a lot of marketing but is all talk and does not deliver the services they claim at all. If anyone knows of a place in Maine, New Hampshire or Massachusetts in the the north shore or Boston area PLEASE POST Thank you

Best of all, he is covered by my insurance as are the labs he ordered. He is very conservative and doesn't push his opinion of the type of BHRT he thinks you should have, but rather lets you discuss with him what you think would work best for you.

Hi Maureen I read your post and I have to agree Womens to Womens center in Maine the one started by Christine Northrup is awful. The people have terrible attitudes and I noticed the place was not very clean either. I went there and a similar thing happened to me. I got worse to the point of feeling very scared.I kept calling trying to get to talk to someone and I didn't get a phone call back until 5 days later. I ended up very weak and shaky to the point I couldn't stand on my own.They claimed it shouldn't have reacted like that and that I was on the low dose patch and Emitra cream that is very low dose. They said I was just "sensitive" and to stick with it. I tried and stayed weak and then got more and more unusually irritated and crying intensely. My vision changed dramatically. I went off it and am left with intense hot flashes and night sweats that I was not having before. Before I would get hot flashes but they passed quick and were only annoying close to the time my periods were due my main problem were muscle and joint pain and insomnia. Now I am drenched in sweat 10 to 20 times a day and wake up several times at night from them. The Womens to Womens center did no tests claiming they had so much experience they didn't need to do them. I like a fool trusted them and have ended up in a worse mess. I am desperate to find a qualified doctor that does testing and knows how to read and use the tests. PLEASE if anyone knows anyone in the Massachusetts New Hampshire or lower Maine area Please let me know too I am feeling desperate and scared at this point. My Primary Care Physician is useless.

Hi Everyone! I to have been looking for a BHRT doctor, the problems I have ran into is first: he is 150 miles one-way away from me and he is the only one in my area! Second when the mileage didn't scare me his pricing did - $450.00 for testing and $395.00 for the first visit - not covered by insurance! I can't afford that kind of money for a doctor's visit! So I have been trying to find an online doctor to write me a BHRT script - every place I look has big $$$ amounts or they require an in office visit first - anyone have any ideas where I can find a lower priced doctor online that will not require a office visit first? Thanks for your help and have a great day!

For anyone looking for BHRT in-person consultation in the greater Boston area, or phone consultation nationwide, I highly recommend Larry Maida R.Ph.

A great doctor in the Boston Area is Carolyn Shaak MD in Needham, 781-453-0321. I get mine filled at Bird's Hill Pharmacy next door. Bird's Hill's number is 781-449-0550 and i'm sure that they would be more than happy to recommend other doctors in the area.

Don't go to Christine Northrup's Womens to Womens center in Yarmouth, Maine. I was terribly disappointed. I was more knowledgeable on a number of things then the nurse practitioner prescribing treatment. I felt very uneasy because of this. The place was not friendly or clean either. Expensive!

I Live on L.I., N.Y. & have been seeing Dr. Linchitz in Glen Cove, NY. He did a host of blood work and has made me feel so much better. He has a good bed side manner, office is very nice & I love the girls at the front desk (especially Antonella, she does a fantastic job) I went for BHRT but he also tested for alot more. He found out I was low in alot of vitamins, told me which ones and since I bagan taking them my energy levels jumped. Now were working on the BHRT, he has me calling him every 15 days or so because we are just starting them (I'm on day 6 of the creams), he listens & explains things well. I am very happy with him. His number is 516-759-4200 . I hope this helps.

Dr. Carolyn Shaak in Needham, MA. is one of these doctors using bioidentical hormones. I have gone there for about 5 years, and they are very good. Not only do I use the hormonal cream, but if I had not gone there, I never would have known I also have a thyroid problem.
Telephone - 781-453-2927 or 781-453-2962
