Glandular fever symptoms and conditions

coincidentally, i have had two mirena put in, one five years ago then had it removed three years later, then another in august 2007. and within twelve months ended up on antidepressants. with severe depression. i have the hair loss, bloating, cramping, sooo tired all the time, i thought i had glandular fever again as i had it in highschool. but was tested and result was negative. anxiety,heart palpitations, weight gain, (lots) previously ii have never had problems with my weight. i just attributed it to body changes after having children? antidepressants helped with the depression and the moodiness, but not the heart palpitations. have worn a heart monitor several times with inconclusive results, no explanation. my friend was talking to her friend and she is a pediatric nurse, she was describing the same symptoms as me. and put me onto this forum and also a website showing all the side effects from mirena. if this info is correct, it attributes all of my symptoms to the mirena. i had it removed on December 12 2008. no significant changes yet but am hoping for some changes shortly! i know everyone reacts differently to things, but we all have very similar things,in common. so this has to show something if anyone has any suggestions on what we may be able to do about this, let me know. i would be interested in helping others withe same situation. the link on this page about side effects , rates them from very common, to rare. and most of these symptoms we are describing are common. so how safe can this devise really be??? anyway thats my story hope it helps someone, even just for the realization of "it's not me!!"

My daughter has been on Yasmin for a year and a half - it was prescribed for irregular periods and spotty skin. She is 15 and has had a year of nausea, leg cramps, hair loss, headaches, elevated heart rate,fatigue , irritation,angry outbursts ,dehydration severe moodiness and depression and lately- uncontrolled crying for no reason. She also sees black dots after exercising. She has gone from a happy girl who loved exercise to a grumpy couch potato! The doctor diagnosed it as a viral infection and suspected glandular fever - she missed a lot of school!
Today she had a day from hell - fought with a teacher and cried for hours. She also takes Ritalin as she is ADD- so I thought it was that - I decided to look up Yasmin and am so glad I did! What a great website! She has just taken a multivitamin and mag.phos - NO MORE YASMIN!!! Any advice on what she can use for her skin? and irregular periods?
A million thanks

I was on 40mg Pantoprazole for a year, and then the Doctor suggested I start to take 20mg of Omeprozole twice a day.

I've only been on it for three weeks now, and I've asked to come off it because it's not helping as much as the pantoprozle. I wake up in the morning and I just feel ill.

I've also been miserable, and i've been finding it hard to get out of bed in the morning, and even wake up. I was blaming this on glandular fever that I had earlier this year. But then I started thinking it might be something to do with the change in medication.

As well as tiredness, and acute depression, I've been irrational, extremely itchy, my skin has broken out in spots (mostly face, thighs and neck/chest area). My vision has also started to blur slightly, which I thought was just over use of computers (because i'm a graphic designer).

Once I switch back to Pantoprozole I'll start to see if these symptoms were the Omeprozole, which I think they are.

Hi there

I am coming to the end of my first pack of Yasmin after being on Dianette for a year for bad skin and irregular periods. During the year of being on dianette I was very tired and ill and was eventually diagnosed with glandular fever. It's taking a long time to get over and I also have family and work problems adding to the stress. I have noticed since starting to take Yasmin that I have been nauseous and having tummy troubles everyday and I have headaches, dizziness, heart palpitations, crying all the time etc etc. I have had all these symtoms on and off for the past year having been ill before but now am convinced they are being made worse by Yasmin. Do you think this is likely? I am fed up with seeing the doctor (have been there so much this year) but maybe I should see if I can switch to something else? Also maybe have another blood test to check my potassium since my liver was a little bit affected by the glandular fever. What does anyone think?
Cheers
