Cists symptoms and conditions

i had the Mirena inserted in Feb '09. first off, it hurt very badly going in. On my way home from the doctors, i was cramped over and swearing from the pain.

CRAMPING every day (mainly in the morning and seem more severe when dehydrated from booze the night before. BLEEDING everyday, all day- not much but always there. WEIGHT GAIN- i have always been skinny and felt skinny- but now I have weight in places I never had it before- even my one ankle looks swollen. I lost my job (b/c i blew up at my boss) and have been real lazy and tired ever since, but after reading these other comments, may be related.

I admit that I have been sexually active (unprotected) with more than a couple people since, which is an IUD no-no. BUT I was tested for IUD infections before it was inserted, and ordered a sonogram which showed a swollen ovary and cists (which I have always had cists and no problems like these) I was on the DEPO SHOT for the past 8 yrs, the pill was horrible- pains related to blood clots so thought the IUD would be safer with less trips to the doctor. When i lost my job, i lost my health insurance.

I'M NOT SURE if i should have the IUD REMOVED????? seemed like the best thing for me, but not sure how long I can go on like this and can't afford further testing.

Please share any advice or similar problems. thank you.

I have been taking Femcon for 10 days and I am already a wreck! I have been having crazy emotional outbursts and feeling like my husband doesn't love me anymore. I cried all night last night and now I'm bleeding again. I only had 2 days were I wasn't bleeding. I feel extremely depressed. The only reason I went on femcon was because my doctor wanted my cists to go away so I could try to get pregnant. This is horrible I have gained some weight and feel so tired. I don't ever feel like doing anything. Does anybody know if I stop right now if my body will freak out on me? This pill is hell

I found this site as I want to read on the side effect of this Kenalog which was injected to my face by the doctor to reduce the size of two liquid cists (apparently only one injections). After the injection, I had my period which is only 15 days after my last period, which never happened to me as my cycle is always longer than 30 days and is very regular. Per the doctor, I thought the "cist" would be gone in few days. It did not and instead, I experienced rashes on my entire body and after one week, my ankle and knee was swollen and it was rather painful and I can hardly walk around for two days. Together with the swollen on the leg, the injection on my face is also swollen up and my face looked really in bad shape. I went back to the doctor and I was given one week of antibiotics to drain away the "infection".
Since the cist is still on my face and it really bother me as it is red and very itchy, though my face is not that swollen / puffy anymore. I came back and see the doctor again to have him cheked up on my face. He just gave me one month of antibiotic. I have no idea that having that injection would cause me so much troubles.
It is now more than a month after the injection, my face has a hole as that was injected with kenalog and the other cis on the face is still there. The worse thing is that the cist is is getting very itchy and it was not so before the injection. I am still patiently taking the antibiotic and promised to comeback and see the doctor after one month.
I still having pain on my join and reading your comments, I realized the pain is definitely associated with Kenalog.
I'd love to hear more from you on how things turn out. Thank you.

Thank god for these posts. I've been taking Yasmin for almost a year. My previous dr switched me to it because I was getting cists from my previous pill. At first, it was great, my periods went down from 7 really heavy days to 3 really light days, my mood swings and cramps settled down and I was happy.

Then it all went wrong. I started noticing my sex drive fade and blamed it on being tired from work. Then I noticed that I was gaining weight, and again blamed it on work. I quit my job and then noticed I was getting more and more apathetic and tired. I blamed that on not working. When I got a new, ACTIVE job, it seemed all of these issues multiplied to the point where I had NO sex drive at all, I was always either bawling-my-eyes-out depressed, or completely apathetic or flat-out viscious to everyone!

I am NEVER happy. I am gaining weight like crazy. I am always hungry. I am so tired that I can barely force myself out of bed, and even after a full night's sleep, I still can't make it through the day without a 1 or 2 hour nap! I'm constantly broken out, my eyes are messed up and I get headaches every day. My skin is super-sensitive to touch, it's to the point where if my boyfriend tries to touch my breasts, it makes my skin crawl and even the lightest touch on my hip makes me feel like I'm being pinched. My nails won't grow anymore, my hair is dry, my skin is oily and I get joint pain. And to top it off, now my periods are up to 8 days of nasty sticky, thick mess and my pms is back with full force. And I feel like I am never going to be happy again.

I'm 26 years old, for gods sakes, and I feel like a re-animated corpse. After examining everything else in my life that has changed I can only put the blame on Yasmin. I've done everything short of committing myself to the local psychiatric hospital to get myself out of this aweful place and had a feeling it had to be the Yasmin. I even told my boyfriend it had to be the Yasmin and he didn't really believe that such a tiny little pill could have such a massive effect on so many aspects of my life. Then he came here and found all these comments and immediatly called me. "Every side effect you've mentioned is listed by these other women! I read one and thought you had written it! I want you off this stuff NOW!"

We are calling my gyn in the morning and I am switching to something, ANYTHING else. I'm horrified that a pill that's supposed to help me is doing so much physical and emotional damage to me and I was never warned about it! I'm just relived that it's not all in my head.
