Great source symptoms and conditions

Wow, everyone, thanks for the support. Medicdad asked that I keep him posted about how I'm feeling, and this is only day two, and I hope this isn't a placebo effect, but I do feel better already. I did cry a bit yesterday, but I didn't get carried away with my thoughts or anything, and not once did I have any inclinations to harm myself. No thoughts like that came into my mind all day, and for what seems like forever they came in several times a day, even when I was "happy". Seriously, I would be doing laundry, nothing upsetting happened, and I would think about hanging myself in the garage. And who do you confide in with something like that? That is CRAZY. I feel like I have more rational thoughts and a better perspective on pretty much everything that presents itself to me, but I don't want to get my hopes up just yet. As far as the asthma, I feel like I can breathe the same, even better, which seems odd, since yesterday. I do take advair, and I am hoping that will be enough. I also take zyrtec for my allergies, so hopefully those two will suffice in maintaining my quality of life in those areas. I am already planning to exercise this afternoon after work, which I think is a good sign, and could help my lung function naturally. So I hope that I can report that things are much improved after a week, like so many other people have posted.

hi guest 39725.
you poor thing,it sounds like you have had a terrible years, i would certainly question whether or not yaz is right for you,it has not been proven to be any more effective than any other bcp on the market so if you have any doubts about it i would say swap.there are too many "ingredients" in this pill that mess with you both physically and mentally and it sounds like you have already suffered enough at the hands of your hormones to have yet another pill wreck your life. i have set up another website for women to chat to each other about their problems from using yasmin or yaz,unfortunaltely the promoters of this site have asked me not to post the link anymore,you may still find it either here or on the "forum page.it is called yasmin survivors. it would be lovely to hear from you and also it has been a great source of help and comfort for many women,you can talk about your hormones,your health,your life or or anything you like,it just helps to chat to other women who know what you are feeling and what you are going through,just knowing you are not alone can make a big difference to your life.

best wishes.

My 16 year old daughter has been taking singulair for the past several months for exercised induced asthma. It has helped her greatly, no symptoms with exercise. No other drug has had this same result. HOWEVER she has complained of stomach pain, particularly after she eats. We had her checked out for other culprits of stomach problems and came up short. I happened to think that maybe the Singulair may be the problem. We took her off the Singulair a couple of days ago and can already see improvement. I assume this will get better when it is completely out of her system, as most drugs stay in your system for several days or even weeks. I can't believe that I didn't think that singulair being the problem, as we had both had strange not common side effects when we were taking Zyrtec. With Zyrtec we had severe dizziness as well as anxiety and bad feelings. When we initially told our allergist of the side effects of Zyrtec they dismissed us, however since they have had several people complain with these symptoms. Just because a side effect isn't common or listed doesn't mean it can't be. I believe that people with allergies and asthma are highly sensitive and things don't always effect us in the way it would with some other person. We must listen to what our bodies tell us. This site is a great source. It helps us know that we are correct in our self diagnosis.

Twogirlsmom: Thank you so much for your reply! You and everyone else are a great source of comfort.

Another question--if I only noticed the anxiety effects of Yasmin the last month that I took it, does that mean my recovery may be a bit shorter than the women who noticed the anxiety, panic and depression for many months before realizing it was Yasmin?

Also, how do we convince people that this is all true? I know in my heart that Yasmin is the reason I am going through this, but the bitchy nurse at my doctor's office refused to believe me and said that all the effects should be gone in a few weeks, therefore implying that any anxiety and depression after that time period is actually MY problem. I was not like this before Yasmin, I swear! I feel like my personality has been stripped from me. I mentioned to the nurse that there are MANY websites out there that have women writing in and talking about Yasmin, and she scoffed and said that you cannot always believe the internet. It is so frusterating because on the pill pack it says to talk to your doctor if you have any adverse side effects, but when we do talk to our health care professionals, no one believes us!

I would suggest that all of you eeking help on the subject of "Any" antibotics go to the link.
iknowthecause.com-The book "The Fungus Link Author-Doug Kaufmann.A great source of information.I recieved Levaquin pre-surgery and had an allergic reaction to it.Which delayed my surgery. The Doc again tried to prescribe it to me after surgery. I'm like "DUGH?" What do these Dr.'s do all day. I was prescribed Biaxin XL instead. Please do a fungal search on your conditions----YOU WILL BE SHOCKED.
