Frequent episodes symptoms and conditions

Since finding this site I have decided to take out my Nuvaring and go with a non-hormonal method. I have used NV for 2.5 years. Like many other ladies here, I experienced sticky brown discharge and vaginal itching for the first year or so. I've had frequent episodes of being swollen and tender just after sex. My sex drive has dwindled also.

I had been considering therapy and anti-depression meds recently due to an increasing number of times that I have angry & explosive mood swings over little things. My relationship has been hurt by this, and so I began my research and found this site. Yesterday I took out the ring. I will not even try other meds just yet, as I feel that going natural and learning myself all over again is going to be the best thing.

Steroids have been a night mare in my life for almost 3 years.
I started taking prednisone to combat Sarcoid 3 year ago. I was so messed up I thought I was going to die. My blood sugar went nuts. Both upper and lower Blood pressure went crazy. I started shaking and droping things and just in general feeling awful. I was on a decreasing amt. starting with 80 mg in Oct. to going completly off of it in Dec. In Jan of the next year I went to a new pulmonilogist. She said I had asthma and recommended I take Advair. After three months I started experiencing psychoses. This went on for 18 months. Starting with episodes evry few weeks to episodes every few days. The last 3 months I had several prednosine doses for sever asthma attacks. That is when I started having the most frequent episodes.

It has been almost a year since my Dr. and I figured out what was wrong with me, after going through many blood test, an MRI on my brain, an EEG, many dollars, much heart ache and much missed work. The eposiodes have started to slowly taper off in frequency and intensity.

Ther have been several occasions I need the drug, a skin rash, another severe asthma attack and inflamation in a wrist injury. I used an ointment on the skin rash, advair for the asthma and an injection for the wrist injury. All left me with psychoses.

I become extremely emotional (my face screws up and I cry), I hallucinate (my head feels goofy), My moter skills are impared and I shake. I am out of comission for 5-6 or more hrs.

If you can avoid this poison (my opinion) do so at all cost.

God Bless.
