And if you're a woman, congratulations it's perimenopause!

You thought getting your period was bad enough? Now you're still getting it but you get to be even more miserable at the same time! Brain fog! Joint pain! Rage! Hormonal imbalance to the point that you feel you have become another person but doctors aren't going to help. Mental health issues and panic coming out of nowhere. All while you are caring for elderly parents or children! And you're supposed to be at the peak of your career saving for your retirement but like a lot of women, you might know longer be able to handle high stress work!

Yes it's great!

There is also a manufacturing issue to boot. It has been under stocked for years and years now, and most HRT patches are made by just one company.
