Gig symptoms and conditions

My normal period arrived again , but this time about 3 days too early (30.12.06). And today it's already lasting 8 days!! And it only got a bit lighter today. I'm feeling totally drained, tired, dizzy, completely weak... I wish I finally would be as I was before this Yasmin nightmare... But it seems as if my body will need much more time as it already had to finally find its balance again...... :-(

I had a fainting spell during my gig on silvester and had foot cramps (which is not usual for me......) during standing on stage...

Anybody out there who has also such problems during their period???

Greetings
Silke

hi ladies,
further to guest 35696 's point about reporting side effects to the fda etc here is the website for the uk's equivelent. www.mhra.gov.uk click on the "yellow card" tab this will send a report about the side effects of medicine. if you also want to look up reported side effects then go to the download side effects page but remember when you do the alphabetical search that yasmin will be listed under it's chemical ingredient (D for drospirenone not under Y for Yasmin.) it makes for quite interesting reading.
It really is very important that we report the bad effects as if no one reports it, it will never be taken off the market or even prescribed with more caution than it is now,it is our responsibility to try to protect other young ladies from this hell that we have all suffered.

silke,maybe i have mis-read the previous post, i find it so hard to figure out meaning when reading a post or text messages,a perfectly harmless comment can sound rude in a message, as i said i did not mean my posting to sound rude,i agree that we should have a "chat room" for all the ladies who want and need contact with other sufferers,this site is getting pretty heavy going now for newcomers that are just looking to see if their specific symptom is here.there are a lot of pages to get through!!!!! if i knew how to start up a chat room i would do it myself but i am a total idiot at anything to do with computers!
hope your gig went well the other night,i love the abba song you were going to sing.

remember ladies please report your side effects.
