Fried chicken symptoms and conditions

I have been on Fem Con for 2 weeks.. I have no side effects that I know of except depression. I don't want anything to do with anybody, I don't want to DO anything, I want to cry all the time and my life is better than it has ever been. I have noticed nothing else but this has been bad enough.

The first few days I think I was a little hungrier than normal but I think that has tapered off. I am on them for menopausal symptoms, regulating periods,
ceasing painful ovulations.

I am going to stick it out as long as I can because my symptoms are HORRIBLE without something, pain, pain bleeding, more bleeding, bloating.. at least with this, I am only depressed.. If I live THROUGH this maybe I'll be ok...MAN!! The things we have to deal with.

I have been on Yaz for a year, and the mood swings and crying spells started immediately for me. But I didn't attribute them to the pill because at the time I was going through some issues. However, about 9 months in I started to have migraines more and more frequently. Now I have them everyday and I have been put on Topamax and Imitrex for them. (Neither of which works really well, seeing as how I am home from work right now with a migraine that I have had for the past week that got really bad last night). I recently read up on how Yaz works and was horrified. I realized that the migraines, fatigue, weight gain, IBS symptoms, nausea, nonexistent libido, emotional rollercoaster, all of it is from that tiny little pill. I can feel that my body is dehydrated, and I'm drinking water almost 24/7 but it doesn't seem to be getting any better. To top it all off, when I went to see my doctor in May about the migraines, he did blood work and the only thing that was abnormal was that I have high cholesterol. It's 235 and I am only 21 years old. I thought that was strange, but since I am originally from the south and grew up on fried chicken and then moved to Maryland where I now enjoy crab I figured it stood to reason. Guess what Yaz also causes, ladies! High cholesterol. But it's the new age oral contraceptive that doesn't cause any of the common side effects. You know what? Legally, that's not a lie. These side effects don't seem to be common of any other oral contraceptive. I'm so angry! I can't even resolve to not think about it because the constant pain in my head serves as a reminder. You ladies on this website are the reason that I started my research on Yaz and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am coming off of this pill.

Been on 20 mg. Lipitor for 4 years. It brought my total cholesterol down from 290 to 190. Tolerated it well for awhile, then I started dragging. Last year, started having ringing in ears, dizziness and fatigue. Had MRI, MRA, heart CT scan, blood work, etc. and they could find nothing wrong. I have suspected Liptitor for awhile, but doctor was so proud that my cholesterol was going down, he wanted to increase dosage to 40 mg., I tried it for a week and felt worse. He told me to reduce it back to 20 mg. But now, I feel so bad with extreme debilitating fatigue and nausea. The ringing in my ears is driving me crazy. I have talked to several people who told me they felt the same way on Lipitor and when they got off, the felt so much better. I hate to give up the progress of getting my cholesterol down, but at what price? I just hope it gets out of my system real quick. Will try to keep cholesterol down by eating more healthy foods (I love red meat and fried chicken).

Hi everyone

Iam still frustrated yes flowerbabies I had my period it was right on time and very normal no pain or cramping or abnormalities with that

Everyone said that I would most likely feel better after a normal period but thats not happening.

I had terrible heartburn last night I did eat a piece of fried chicken and I believe it triggered it but it was the worst heartburn I have ever had in my life I didnt know what to do.

It ached all day today and is a tad calmer now

My doctor said to take Zantac for that but I read the side effects and lightheadedness was the top one I dont want that.

Its all getting overwhelming

I had the anxiety in my arms and tingling the longest had it last night and all day today usually it comes and goes.

I pushed mysel to do alot today but felt miserable the whole time.

Soooo you think the synthetic hormones are still in me does anyone know how long they stay in us??

I just dont understand 6 weeks off the pill how I can be feeling so much anxiety still its almost everyday.

I dont want to take anymore pills I have Lexapro and Xanax but I dont want to take them.
My doctor said I could take lexapro for just a month to get over this hurdle and its not addictive and since Iam taking it for a reaction to the pill or a imbalance i can stop it at anytime>> she said this isnt true with paxil or the others.

Iam too confused.

I just want to lay by the poolside relax and read a magazine and enjoy like I use to do every weekend.

Iam too hyper and anxious to do any of that

Yesterday I felt better for part of the day than wham got the palpatations the anxiety and no couldnt sleep after 4 nights of good sleep

Iam so sad I want to cry
I cant have any fun I havnt had any fun in 6 weeks

i GOT THAT BADANXIETY IN MY ARMS LAST NIGHT AND MY HEART BEATING FAST IT WAS WEIRD i MEAN i HAVE THE ARM ANXIETY ALMOST EVERYDAY but I hadnt had the heart beating.

omg I had the worst heartburn ever in my life last night I ate some fried chicken and tomatoes and toast and man it was bad I had slept the last three nights and than last night couldnt

I just wish i could figure out what is causing the anxiety if my hormones are low but what they were a year ago than what is spawning this anxiety?? Is it the checmicals fromthe pill is it because I have been upset over this illness for weeks what is causing the anxiety I want it to stop

i am 39, female and had been using combivent for years. i felt it was not working, and dr put me on advair. i was AMAZED at how well it worked. i could run w/ my dogs, swim the length of the pool with one deep breath. i began having problems with the glands in my neck. we finally figured out i had a huge yeast infection in them from the advair. the dr had me back off and use only once a day till the infection was gone. i began using it twice a day and i have been suffering from i thought was back pain. i've been going the chiropractor over and over and nothing he had done had helped. last night the pain was the worst it has been, and my lungs started to burn. the burning went around from my back, around to the front and i could not figure out what was going on. this morning i decided to not use advair, and i have NO pain! of course, i'm using my resuce inhaler alot, and getting a breath isn't always easy, but i don't really care. i am not taking it again. AND, i can't eat meat now either. my husband fried chicken tonight, and he looked at me like i was crazy when i said i just couldn't eat it.
