Grafic symptoms and conditions

I had used NR for six weeks when I woke up at 3 am with SEVERE chest pains. Went to the ER and was diagnosed with *substantial* pulmonary emboli (blood clots in the lungs). I was hospitalized for five days and am now under the direction of a pulmonologist and hematologist for the next six months while I'm on blood thinner therapy. I had to do injections into my abdomen twice a day to prevent further clotting until my blood reached a theraputic level with the Coumadin (blood thinning drug).

Usually, pulmonary embolism afflicts sedentary people or those who have recently had surgery or those who have cancer . .. etc etc etc. I am a 33 year old personal trainer. I have ZERO risk factors for this to have happened to me . .. other than the nuvaring. It was determined that it was the cause and I was told to remove it immediately and to never never never use it again.

Please be careful in your decisions to use this product. I used it for the convenience of not popping a pill daily as I would usually forget. Wish I would have just looked a bit further into the possible side effects before choosing to go ahead with it.

My doctor gave me Evista and it made me so constipated that she changed my meds to Foseamax I took it for 1 month and had a sereve cramp in my colon that I needed to put a heat compress on it for 15 minutes. Then 2 months had another bout only worse I could hardly catch my breath, again another attack a few weeks later. These were all when I was trying to have a bowel movement. My doctor told me to stop taking this medicine when I told him about other things that where happening along with the cramps. Things to grafic to print. One year later and I still have these cramps even though there are not nearly as bad as when I was taking the medicine. I received papers in the mail that said Foseamax was a drug for cancer. I too was told that if I didnt take this medicine that If I fell and broke my hip that I had a 1 in 2 chances that I would die. What a crock!
