Heart to heart symptoms and conditions

Hi, I am new at this, I have been so frustrated. I too was told this was the best thing out there, and the benefits looked great so I got the IUD Mirena inserted. Cramping when I first got it for a few days then nothing for a while. Seemed ok, then one day I noticed my hair was thinning then more and more. So I made a appt with my gyno and she said basically it was in my head. I also mentioned a memory issue, kinda foggy feeling. She dismissed me and ushered me out by wave of her hand. I then go to a dermatologist to see if there was something there, maybe a sign something was definitely wrong. He noticed it was profuse and in the back of my head. He had my blood checked for vitamin deficiency and my thyroid, came back normal. Told me it looked like a pelican and had me use Rogaine and special shampoo and biotin. He also told me of an option to do a biopsy, which scared me. I waited a few weeks and decided to do it. It came back normal, no hereditary or any other abnormalities. He suggested removing IUD. I talked to him once more to see if anything else can be tested, he sent me to an endocrinologist. Did another blood test and all normal. He also did thyroid all over again. By this time, I was devastated. I felt hopeless. I was still thinking it wasn't possible. That’s when I hoped online and saw so much more others had the same problem!! I couldn’t believe my eyes! I am 32 and had this damn thing in me for a year and a half. I only wished I would of taken it out by that same doctor who told me was all in my head. It would of saved me so much aggravation. Mind you I was feeling a bit depressed and I noticed I was uptight and yelled at the kids a lot. The good news in all of this, I had it removed today and again they tried to talk me out of it. I told her, if I didn't have all these tests done, I would probably kept it in. I did my share of making sure nothing else was wrong with me. I even talked to my regular doctor and had a heart to heart; he explained everything that the others would not, including lab results. I am hoping that my hair will come back. I love my Dad, I just don't want to look like him....

Does anyone now how long the hormones stay in your body and how long till hair will stop falling out?

Funny...Me and my Boyfriend of 3 years just had this big heart to heart today trying to figure out...WHERE MY SEX DRIVE WENT???? So we put two and two together in the time frame is seemed to have been "lost" in, and we came up with YAZ. Thats not why I ended up on this site at 1am though...

As we were lying in bed, I got sudden mild chest pains in my left side and my left arm went numb. All I have ever known about these symptoms is that you are having a heart attack! As I get outta bed Travis says "what are you googling?" Him knowing that I am a hypercondreact!

I had decided today to stop taking the pill not willing to risk my wonderful sex life and relationship. I said goodbye to my wonderful FULL C breasts :( I will keep you posted on my after side effects! Good luck to you brave women!!!

Wow. I found this site after looking up causes for lack of sex drive. I've been on Yasmin for 6 years, but never thought for a minute it had anything to do with the problems I've been having. Loss of sex drive, vaginal dryness, hair loss, mood swings (partners always gets the brunt of those), repeated bouts of chest pains (diagnosed with pleurisy recently, don't know if there is a link).

I had got to the point that I thought this is just the way I am, it never occurred to me that something else could be causing this. I can't even remember what it's like to be normal.

I already have 2 kids and don't want any more at the moment so I don't know what the solution is. Well, I haven't wanted sex for the last few years so i suppose the bloody thing has done its job in that way!

I'm just shocked, this has been a real wake up call. I'm stopping taking the evil little things as of now.

IS THIS SITE AN ANSWER TO OUR PRAYERS?

A little while ago less than two hours, after a very emotional, difficult battle with my daughter, we had yet another heart to heart to try to do better. At the end of our talk WE PRAYED for guidance to know how to help the situation. So I'm here looking for a link to her behavior fron the ADHD medication and I see someone had posted about Singulair side effects. I was floored! I have never thought that Singulair was not a safe drug. No doctor has ever mentioned any negative side effects to me regarding it. The more I'm reading about it the more in shock I am. Have I and her doctors been doing this to my daughter? My 12 1/2 yo daughter has been on Singulair for probably 10 years. She was a 28 week preemie and had severe lung issues so it was a needed medication. Her behavior has worsened the older she has gotten. Because of mostly anger issues and problems in school about a year ago she was started on ADHD medications. We are currently trying to find "the right one" . I feel so awful. Could all her misery have been caused by this little pill that was suppose to help her? Why has her pulmonoligist continued to give it to her although she has not had any serious asthma problems in years? I think I will stop all medications and see what happens. My daughter has also been on amytriptylin for about six months also for severe migraines. What do you think? Should I stop all of them cold turkey or gradually decrease one at a time? I would GREATLY appreciate any advise.
Thank you

I've been on Wellbutrin for 2 1/2 months and finally realized I am losing my hair. The hair line is intack but I can see my scalp real clearly when my hair is wet, mainly on the top of my head. I went to the Dermotolgist today, he gave me a heart to heart about male pattern baldness (thanks but I don't think you develop male pattern baldness overnight like this). I am convinced it is from the drug.

He did say that about 1% of your hair folicles are always shedding and regrowning. Drug induced hair loss simply increases the percentage of folicles in the shedding stage. He said this stage is not permanent and the hair will grow back.

I am off the Wellbutrin. Bring on the Gloom baby, I keepin' my hair. I'll take my chances with the depression.

I have been on this medication for the last 2 weeks .I never had asthma . I had a case of acute bronchitis with wheezing it required 2 day hospital stay/steriods and inhalers.I am off prednisone and suppose to take this inhaler for 12 weeks.
I am experiencing :
Hoarse voice/Bloating/nerverousness/dizziness very painful neck spasms that radiate down my left arm to my hand.
My gut is to quit. I go bac to work on Monday. I am an er case manager I will be seeking out the pulmonologist to have a heart to heart!!
