Circumference symptoms and conditions

I am so relieved to have found this site. I suffer from PCOS (Polycycstic Ovarian Syndrome). I am also morbidly obese, but I have been on a diet for 3 years and I enjoy the diet, sounds funny, but it is true. I lost 30 pounds the first year. Now, I have gained it all back, I can't do anything, I am in so much pain. I have back pain, knee pain, I have swelling in my legs they are so huge (the calves) They have grown three inches in circumference since I started the progesterone therapies. I have pitting edema in both my legs and my hands swell all the time. The only way to reduce the swelling in my hands is to hold my arms over my head for about 15 minutes and that seems to help enough to get my rings off. Mirena was supposed to NOT cause any side effects. Well let me tell you I got them all. The same way I did with the pill form. Only Mirena took longer to enter into my system. I am waiting for my Doctor to get back from vacation and I will be insisting on its removal.

Here is my list:

Pitting Edema in arms and legs
Headaches
Severe abdominal pain
Severe backache
Heart palpitations
Constipation
Lack of appetite
SEVERE WEIGHT GAIN (how can this be, I have been a diet for three years...and I am sticking to it) MY PANTS won't fit anymore.
NO energy
Fatigue
Nightmares
Nausea
Dizziness
Unable to concentrate
Slight double vision (right eye only)
Anger
PIMPLES ( I am 38 for Pete's sake, I didn't have pimples as a teen!)

My Doctor lied. Plain and simple. He told me there would be no systemic side effects. Either Bayer (Mirena) is lying to him, or he is lying to me....either way...I see a class action lawsuit coming if they don't remove this thing. I will kill me if it stays in any longer. I just know it! For those it works for good. I am pleased. For those of us who is don't, I truly feel your pain!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. health regulators are probing a possible connection between Merck & Co Inc's blockbuster Singulair asthma drug and suicidal behavior in adults and children, the Food and Drug Administration said on Thursday.

The persons who have no symptomatic effects are so fortunate with Singulair. A medicine out in circulation abusing one's emotions, lifestyle, threatening life is a circumference, detrimental side effect.

And the Saga of Prednisone continues:

After a few weeks of 10mg per day (5mg AM 5mg PM) I am now down to 7.5 mg per day (last 3 days). The 10 mg allowed a lot of the side effects to start to fade: weight is steady or decreasing. I only gained about 5 lbs but that is now down to 1 or 2. I'm working out so I'm adding muscle as well as losing fat so I dont expect massive weight loss. (For instance .. I added an inch to the circumference of my upper arm.. muscle..not fat !) The irrationality toward food (cleanup in aisle 5 has new meaning.. like cleaning one's plate !)

Yes, Im hairier ! for a guy it's in all the right places. Not only hasn't that gone away.. it's hairier still !

My face is almost back to it's gaunt thin self :) SOME of the buffalo hump has gone away and my neck has thinned a bit - so no double chin anymore - just in the last two weeks.

Never had insomnia.. never had depression (wasn't thrilled with the side effects but thats a rational reaction.. not depression) never had moodiness. Acne is getting better. I STILL RECOMMEND PHISOHEX and a LOOFAH.

My belly is still distended but then I had a lot of surgery so it could be either or both. Exercise has helped (jogging and situps) and Im a tad fatigued but getting better.

Certainly thats not all of the side effects but the statement 1 month for every week of use seems true.. and the effects go away slower than they arrived.. ]

BUT THEY DO GO AWAY.

The more permanent effects (stretch marks etc) may be permanent.. try vitamin E Aloe etc.. they may help!

i started Yasmin about a month ago. About a week and a half into the pack I noticed that I was retaining alot of water and that my acne was worse (i thought that this pill was suppose to help alleviate these symptoms). I decided to stop them that day. About 4 days later I got what I thought was a period. By the end of the first day I thought I was going to die! I was bleeding so bad that I could not get off the toilet. I was passing clots the circumference of a baseball!
I called the Dr. who said that I was 1 of 3 people that she had prescribed Yasmin to that did the opposite of what it was suppose to do. She said to try and ride it out while the horomone gets out of my system. I am so tired and weak from the loss of blood. The iron pills do not seem to be helping much. Today is the 5th day and it seems to be letting up a little bit. Am still very tired though. Bad pills!!!!
