Dear Dr. Evans,

I have been a patient of yours for a few years now and you have helped me more than you will ever know.

I am fifty-seven years old. Probably at about the age of forty-seven I began to experience stiffness in the joints and various aches and pains. Then for the past seven years it seemed as if I went straight down hill. I had reached a point where I literally had no energy. I experienced extreme fatigue and body aches and my whole life revolved around literally going to work and going straight home and going to bed every evening until about 8 p.m. when I would force myself to get up just to get a “few things done”. It was unbearable. I began researching all that I could into what could be wrong with me. I saw my general practitioner and he did blood work, ekg’s, etc. Every test came back “normal”. I was at my wits end and simply could not think of living life feeling so horrible. (I had always been a very active individual, and full of life and ambition.) Whatever was wrong with me was debilitating. I was at my wits end.

Then in November of 2008 I saw your information on the hormone pellets. You did the blood work, which indicated low levels. I received the hormones that you suggested. I can tell you that “THE VERY NEXT MORNING” I experienced a sudden “clearing” and it was as if a fog had lifted from my brain. Within two weeks I was feeling my old self.

Since November, I have lost 35 pounds; I have started running again and am up to two miles a day. I suffer no fatigue and feel vibrant.

I plan on going back to school to get a degree and then use my new degree to help those in need. I have been reunited with and am working on a relationship with the love of my life. I literally feel as good as I did when I was thirty-five.

To be quite honest…you have changed my life. I thank you and your staff every single day.

Thank You…Thank You…Thank You.

Peri-menopause came on suddenly in my mid-40’s. I began to experience lack of energy, hot flashes, shorter monthly cycles, sweating, inability to concentrate, repetitive thoughts, anxiety and insomnia. Unfortunately, due to lack of knowledge of this topic, I ignored the symptoms thinking I could control my increasingly erratic mood swings and thought patterns. Fortunately I have a great gynecologist, Dr. Linda Evans, who was able to diagnose my situation. Unfortunately I had waited too long to see her and my treatment required the use of anti depressants. Over time however, through faith, a supportive network of family and friends, and the hormone pellet therapy, I expect to soon reduce and ultimately eliminate the antidepressant. It is my belief that had I recognized the symptoms and started hormone pellet therapy sooner, I could have avoided a lot of personal pain and the need for antidepressants. I encourage any woman whose quality of life is not at its maximum to quickly consult their gynecologist and investigate hormone pellet therapy. The results far outweigh the minimal cost.

After having a hysterectomy in 2002, I began taking Premarin, however after about a year I discussed other alternatives with my OB/GYN. At that time my OB-GYN was the only physician that was using Bio-Equivalent Hormone Replacement Therapy. There is no question the difference between the two! My physician retired about a year and a half later and that’s when I came to meet Dr. Evans. I was so excited when Dr. Evans took the training for the pellet implants as this was the therapy that best fit me. No messy creams, no pill to take and better yet the pellets are not synthetic! Nothing is processed through the liver. I have more energy and feel better than I did 20 years ago. I even ran my first half marathon last year! Thank you Dr. Evans!

It was six months after my hysterectomy when I first met Dr. Evans and her staff. My local gynecologist had tried everything he knew to help regulate my hormones, and the standard treatments weren’t working for me. In spite of patches and pills I was having an average of 25 hot flashes a day, and I was miserable! My energy level was very low, my weight was increasing in spite of dieting, my brain was working like that of a 97 year old, and I was sick of not sleeping due to multiple night sweats. My sister-in-law recommended Dr. Evans to me, and I decided to give her a try. Although I live in another state, the hour and half drive to her office was well worth it! From my blood tests she was able to see that my hormone levels were in awful shape, and she recommended pellet therapy for me. Within a few weeks I was feeling like a new woman! I was full of energy, sleeping well, losing weight, thinking clearly, and hot flash free. My husband and children will testify to the difference pellet therapy has made in all of our lives! I thank God for leading me to Dr. Evans and Premiere Women’s Center. I’ve been a patient there since the summer of 2008 and words don’t seem adequate to express the difference she has made in my life. Thank you Dr. Evans and staff for helping me to get my life back!

Two years ago, I decided to try hormone replacement when I noticed that my energy levels were not exactly what they used to be. As a long-distance runner, I had seen my times drop off from where they used to be, I was gaining weight, and felt tired and crabby too often. I was working out as usual, but the results were hard to see.

After the hormone replacement, I feel so much better all the way around. My running times are back up and even better than they were in my 30’s. I have lost fat and gained muscle. I sleep well and feel well rested, in the mornings my moods are much more even. I feel lots better, more of my old self.

This is such an easy way to get yourself back on track, that I would recommend it to every woman I know. Hormone replacement has made me a happier and healthier person.

Imagine for a moment driving down a familiar road in a dense fog and questioning your every turn in fear that you will get lost. That was the feeling I felt a year past my Hysterectomy. I questioned my every move, fearing that I experiencing early stages of Alzheimer. I was in a managerial position responsible for a large number of people, had always felt confident in what I was doing and what I expected of others but I felt myself questioning my every move. I feared sharing this with anyone including my husband. Dr. Evans opened the door to helping me understand that I wasn’t going crazy. My hormone levels were way off thus making me feel I was driving nonstop in that fog bank. I now feel in complete control provided I maintain treatment. I have since retired and instead of sitting back I am busy launching my own business. I depend upon the clarity the hormone pellets give to my life.

All I can say is day and night!!! About a year after my hysterectomy I felt totally out of my skin. Although on estrogen replacement- everything seemed off. I was nervous, forgetful, and very uncharacteristically unfocused. Not only was this affecting my work life- but I know it had a huge impact on my family. It was at this time Linda and I started to chat about HR pellets. I was ready and excited to try anything to bring the old “Tracy” back. Within a very short time of receiving my pellets- I was back!!! Clarity back, concentration back, well being back…and yes sex drive back! Thank you Premiere for all you have done to bring me BACK!!!

Before I came to Premiere Women’s Center, I was suffering. I was definitely in menopause. I wasn’t sleeping, I was lucky if I was getting 4 hours of sleep a night. I would wake up at midnight or before and not sleep for hours. As a result I had no energy; I was depressed, and miserable. I had night sweats, fuzzy thinking, memory problems, heart palpitations, moody (boy was I ever), emotional issues and many other symptoms. When I had gone to my primary care physician (which I no longer see now) she told me that I needed anti-depressants, that my past history indicated that this was what I was suffering from. She gave me no blood tests, no tests of any kind, this was her diagnosis for me. Well, I didn’t accept that and knew I needed to see someone else. My best friend was seeing a doctor that he had been with for years and he called him and asked him for a referral and he gave a referral right away. When I had gone to the new doctor, I told her about my symptoms. The doctor then ordered blood tests for me. When the results came back sure enough, I was healthy but my hormones were as she put it “out of whack”. What a relief to hear that. I told her I didn’t want to take anything that was not natural. I had heard of natural hormone replacement but did not know where to go. She then gave me Dr. Evans name and contacted her office for an appointment. After making an appointment with Dr. Evans, blood tests were ordered for me and the results would be at her office before my appointment. At my first appointment, I was given my test results, and my hormone levels were very low, that would explain why I was feeling so bad. When she told me how low my levels were, it was a relief to know that I wasn’t “crazy”. It was simply a lack of these hormones that was making me feel the way I was. I was then told about the hormone pellet. I was reluctant at first; just the thought of putting something in my body like that freaked me out. But everyone was so patient with me; it took me awhile to decide if this was something I should do. So I sat and talked with my friend about it and I knew this was why God had led me here, it was God saying this will help you. So, I finally told her to go ahead and insert the pellet. Let me tell you, I have not regretted that decision. This pellet gave me what my body was lacking and needed. I had my first pellet in June of ’09; I can say it has made a big change in the way I feel. I sleep better, I feel better, no hot flashes, heart palpitations, night sweats, even my mood is better and I look better!!! I thank God that he led me to Dr. Evans, the hormone pellet is something I would recommend to any woman who is suffering from severe menopausal symptoms. Dr. Evans and the staff at Premiere Women’s Center have been very helpful and friendly and are always there to answer any concerns you have.

This is my testimonial,

Being a single parent for 18 years, a business owner and an active woman, I couldn’t figure out why I had been feeling such despair and depression. Possibly it was because my girls, the main focus of life were now almost grown and I had many weekend nights alone or having lost both parents in the last few years. Whatever it was, I was determined to get back on track. I read books to gather information about grief, loss and my own body. I soon gathered up the nerve to start dating, but after several online dates that seemed to go nowhere, I was about to give up when a man kept coming up on my searches. Well I decided to go out one more time and well as all romance stories go we are still together 31/2 years later. As happy as I was the depression got worse and my moods were off the chart. I decided to seek counseling. A year later and hundreds of dollars later, nothing was different. Being only 47 I never thought it could be my hormones, for I still had periods regularly. Symptoms’ worsened, lack of sleep, night sweats and now hot flashes, all were taking a toll on my relationships.

A friend listened to my dilemma and referred me to Dr, Evans. I was so excited to try anything that would help me to feel better. Well after about 1 month every symptom had disappeared! I felt 25 years old again, in every way! I have told more and more woman about my experience and all I can say is THANK-YOU.
