Winona saved my life. While that might sound dramatic, it's not. After years of suffering with constant joint and muscle pain, weight gain, fatigue, not sleeping, bladder leakage, and a whole myriad of other complaints, it took serious and unexplained dental issues that came on out of nowhere to send me to the internet to figure out just what was going on with me after my periodontist told me "half of my practice is women in their 50's going through the change". I then went to my general practitioner and my gynecologist for help, who both confirmed I was likely experiencing menopause (I had a hysterectomy 10 years ago but my ovaries were left) but pretty much told me "This is the way things are. You'll get used to it". The past 3 years I have been more and more depressed, and these dismissals did not help that. I found Winona online, and I'm so glad I did. I figured that given my current mental state, giving it a try wasn't going to hurt. The ease of the initial questions and having prescriptions on their way to me within a few days honestly made me cry with hope that relief was on its way. Within 3 days, I was experiencing relief from most of my physical symptoms, but the thing that changed the fastest and most dramatically was my mental state. I'm not suggesting that hormones will help anyone else's depression, but it certainly helped mine. It's now been 11 weeks and I am back to who I used to be. I'm so happy that this site makes treatment available to women who need it, and it scares me to think of just how low my mood was and how much worse it may have gotten. My doctor is fantastic with quick responses and lots of detailed information. I couldn't be happier that I found this site. Thank you, Winona!

I started my prescriptions May 1st. I noticed immediate results by having no night sweats/hot flashes. My brain fog cleared up and I was calmer and was sleeping better. I had only 2 nights and they were separate nights of night sweats in the last month. I do sleep better but still am a little restless. I was hoping it would help my weight and hair thinning but has not at least not yet. Was going to give it the 3 mo mark. I spoke with the dr just last week for my 10 wk follow up and he suggested increasing my dosage on two of my meds. So I am hoping this will help as well. It definitely has already helped tremendously and hoping for even better results. I am on the estradiol tablet, DHEA capsule and progesterone capsule.

The entire experience has been easy and uncomplicated including communicating with Winona representatives, physicians, and staff.

This service has been amazing! I really needed some hormone therapy. The physician that has help me has been so nice and understanding. He has always answered all my questions and taken my health in to consideration. This is a great service to be able to access from your home. They ship my medication quickly and clear instructions are included. I’m really happy and grateful they were able to help me.

I work in healthcare and still was receiving conflicting information about menopause and my options for treatment from friends, family, doctors and the Internet. My OBGYN ( who was also my primary) was not helpful and I believe this was because he did not know enough about my HRT options to even direct me. I was about to spend $3k on a concierge doctor who had an HRT practice, when I found Winona. The web site and the data I was looking for was straightforward, yet technical and the fact that a physician was reviewing my symptoms and medical history was important. The process from initial inquiry to getting my prescription sent to my home was quick, transparent and streamlined. I immediately felt that I could trust them and that they understood the challenges a woman faces with getting the right HRT Information and treatments. The focus was on the patient and I immediately knew that I had found the right solution.

Since starting Winona 10 weeks ago, the changes have been nothing short of wonderful! Very occasional hot flashes- I’m talking maybe one every few weeks as opposed to several a day! My clarity of thought came back- goodbye brain fog! You don’t realize how awful it really was until it is no more- my energy has come back and I have no more late afternoon exhaustion- this really is the best decision of self care that I have made in ages.

Website was easy to use, helpful info and FAQ, from taking the quiz to speaking with a doctor was fast and simple, the doctor was helpful, and the Rx was processed and received quickly. Follow up has been good and I am grateful for the experience.

Within four days of taking the prescribed medication the doctor recommended my symptoms were gone.
