Body sensations symptoms and conditions

Hey every1,

I just started to take Yaz this past Sunday July 6th '08 and it is now July 10th. I started to get on the 2nd day these weird hot flashes, feeling sweaty, anxious (more than I normally get) and developed this weird calf and Left side leg pain, also my whole left side like my whole arm and I feel crazy about this pain b/c only a year ago i was in a bad car accident and was hit on my driver side as a head on collision to me, so now i feel confused as if i don't know how to distinguish whether it's my accident pain (that will never go away like arthritis) or if it is this Yaz pill. I am very concerned, and being that I am like a hypochondriac (a nervous mess; a disorder characterized by a preoccupation with body functions and the interpretation of normal body sensations, also a constant worrier and negative thinker) I feel much concern for this issue. I even feel like going to the hospital just to make sure and for my sanity.. Help!

OMG all I can say is that I started taking it 3 days ago and decided to Google it because I realized I've been extra emotional lately. I start crying for no reason and no there's not a single way in hell I could be pregnant. Also, today I dropped these papers at work. Not significant, but I'd focus on them, pick them up and they'd still slip through my hands. This happened 3 times and was quite frustrating. Furthermore, I've been having these outer body sensations, like I see the street but it just kinda waves at me and makes it difficult to drive. I'm so glad I'm not the only one experiencing this. I'm on it for 5 days. Should I continue or do y'all know of an equally-effective alternative?

I've been on Nuva for about two months. So far the only side-effects I've had is lightheadedness... and it may not be related to the ring. I'm wondering, though, why some of you have had bad experiences with it, and yet you remain on it for 2,3,4 years???
