Hey lisa symptoms and conditions

Hey Lisa!!

Don't worry!! I understand your pain, because I went EXACTLY through the same thing!!

I remember myself asking my husband a thousand times "Oh my god, I feel like it's all coming back, I'm so afraid everything could get as bad as it was months ago..." and so on. And that happened around the same state as you are now!! And I also remember my mum and my husband always telling me "It won't come back, everything will be better again in a few days, it's just your hormonal imbalance." And I was so thankful for their words!!

And the best of all: They were right !! Evertime I was nearly about to despair (and that didn't happen only once during the very hard last year, but every few weeks!!), a few days further everything had gotten better again!!

It always helped me to remember, that it's all a hormonal thing and hormones are fluctuating over a month. And being on bcp for such a long time (during that time the hormones were constantly nearly on ONE level!) your body reacts to those natural hormone fluctuations more sensitive than before. Your system will gradually get used to that fluctuations again and you won't feel them in such a heavy way any longer!!

I'm 1 Year and 2 months without Yasmin now and still feel those fluctuations very often. But remember that I still didn't get my period again... (last one was on easter 2005.....). So I think in my case everything will be 100% back to normal and healthy again, when I'm finally getting my period.

I hope this helps and feel free to E-Mail me or post here again if you've got any further questions or jus need some pep talk!! I know how important that is, I needed it the same way one year ago!!!

Best wishes, god's bless and keep looking forward to better times Lisa, as hard as it may seem on some days!!!

Hey Lisa!

Are you taking any supplements as magnesium or vitamin b? It seems as if your body needs more of them around ovaluation and right before your period starts or during that time! Numbness or tingling can be symptoms of a loos of electrolytes and vitamines (which are doubtless caused by bcp and especially by yasmin!!).

I suggest you should search over google or such for symptoms of a loss of a lack of vitamine b and magnesium. I'm pretty sure you'll find there many of the symptoms we are all going through!!

So if you don't take anything like that until now it maybe worth a try.... I'm taking Magnesium nearly every day and I feel that it helps with some of the symptoms, that are still there.

hey lisa its chrissy,

just wanted to give you an update... ive been reading ur postings and you sound so much more positive and im very happy its working out for you!!!

i feel way better... 7 months off that crap and finally i had a month where everything was fine! such a relief... im not getting too ahead of myself tho becuase im sure ill probably go back a few steps without a doubt.... but at least it shows that it can really get better.

Hey Lisa, thank you for your wishes.
Did you gain significant weight??
No my weight didn't ease the slightest. I'm afraid it's here to stay unless a miracle does happen. The most of my weight were on the lower part of my body-waist, butt and legs.
good luck and keep posting. This place is as good as it can get!

Take care!

hey lisa,

yes your definitley right! i stopped yasmin in july and let me tell you that august and september were a complete nightmare.... october was better but i really felt the improvement in december... i began to feel like i could cope again....
you do have times where you feel sick for like days at a time but then it'll be all good for a week or so... its up and down but each time ur on a downer its not as bad as the last one...

eventually we will all be free of this crap...
i cant wait for that day..
and im always here ok
luv chrissy xox

hey lisa,

to answer ur question yes my sex drive went totally back to normal... it was only for a couple of months really...
but di dyou see how they said that hormones from the pill can still be in ur body up to a whole year after stopping!
pretty scary....

but yeh i guess we have to just try help each other to get through it...
hope ur test results come back all good....
luv chrissy xo

HEY LISA,
IT'S LILLI(I POSTED MY SIDE EFFECTS FRIDAY) AND I JUST READ YOUR LAST POSTING....I WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT MY SEX DRIVE IS RETURNING TO NORMAL. I TOOK MY LAST PILL SEPTEMBER 9 AND ITS BEEN A SLOOOOOW RECOVERY SINCE THEN. I THINK ALL YOU GIRLS ARE GREAT AND REALLY SUPPORTIVE! I HOPE EVERYONE GETS BETTER SOON.
: - ) LILLI

hey lisa,

sorry you were asking about vitamins and stuff... you can get magnesium suppliments which help with the heart palpitations because it allows the blood to flow better through the arteries....or just eat more food that contains magnesium...

also there is this stuff you can get from like the chemist to help with anxiety... its called St John's Wort or something similar to that.... even valerian can be purchased there but that might make you a bit sleepy....

apart from that i didnt take any specific medication because i didnt want to rely or anything that i might get addicted too..

if you get your hormone levels checked you may find that your progesterone is low which is causing the palpitations...

i hope this has helped...

hey lisa,
your right sometimes doctors cant tell you whats normal and wat isnt unless theyve experienced it. we can only help each other and thats why this website was the best thing that ever happened to me after yasmin...
all the girls on this site have saved my life.... and my sanity...
good luck to you and everyone who posts here..
have a great new year!!
xoxoxoxo

hey lisa its chrissy,

ur so funny you sound exactly like me worrying about so many things... and im not usually like that ...
as fa as flying goes im pretty sure its ok to fly if your blood pressure is high... i went up to QLD for the Indy car race and i was fine on the plane... i live in victoria australia by the way (not sure where your writing from)
yesss and i was due for my period today but i bet you it comes tomorrow right on new years eve GREAT!

silke is right about the heart palps not causing permanent damage so dont stress about that.... just gotta try not to get anxious when you feelt it coming on... just tell yourself ...
"ok i know whats causing the problem, its just a chemical inballance in my body and im not gonna let it freak me out"
i hope his helps you and i will always try my best to reply when i can cos i know what it feels like to think ur alone in this ....
have a safe new year... xoxoxo

hey lisa,

its chrissy again... i just read your posting about the high blood pressure and cholesterole.
my blood pressure did go up but my best friend is on yasmin at the moment and i have tried to tell her that this pill is bad but she thinks im crazy... she hasnt had any bad side effects but im worried for her that she will..
she saw a doctor recently and he checked her cholesterole and it was on 7!!! it should be around 4 im told....
i know its from yasmin because she eats well... i just wish i could make her realise...

dont stress too much im sure it will go down once this poison is out of ur system...
love chrissy xox

hey lisa,

your welcome, i know what its like to be so scared and feel alone.... i am constantly thinking that i have some deadly disease or somethng life threatening wrong with me.... im only 23!! dying is the last thing i wanna be worried about.... this week is the week leading up to my period and it hasnt been a good one...
i actually for the past couple of days have got these really weird feelings on the left side of my head.. kinda like little cramps ya know... they come and go...
HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS????? PLS LET ME KNOW!!!
i really hope you get better soon and i hope all these postings get through to all the girls who look at this website....
YASMIN HAS RUINED A PART OF MY LIFE! but i wont let it ruin it for other girls...

lots of luck
chrissy xoxo
