High estrogen levels symptoms and conditions

I am currently weigh more than ever before. I really do watch what I eat and go to the gym at least 5 days a week and do 45 min of cardio. I recently went to my PCP and was told I now have high blood pressure; high cholesterol; and sky high estrogen levels....anyone else out there??? I am thinking that I need to get the Mirena removed for my health!

You girls have no idea how thankful I am that I found this site. Short history - I'm 33 with four children and was diagnosed with a dermoid cyst on my right ovary and a fluid filled cyst on my left 04 November 2004. My gyn put me on Yasmin because she said that my symptoms were typical of high estrogen levels and that by boosting my progestin the cysts would dissolve. She said that without a blood draw so I insisted on one and she ordered it but also told me to start the Yasmin anyway. I wouldn't be taking the white pills, however, she wanted me to continue the next pack to keep the progestin level high. I started that assuming I was doing the right thing. Three weeks later I heard nothing about my blood draw so I called. My estrogen level was fine which meant I had no idea what caused my cysts or what would make them go away. SO, I called the doctor who said I'd have to make a consultation appointment and that ended up being 30 Jan. 2006. Yes, I have to wait three more weeks to see her. I'm NOT happy, but I am also very sick.

For four years I've been HEAVILY involved in kickboxing and weight lifting and now I can barely get out of bed. I've been throwing up like I'm pregnant, nauseous like I'm pregnant, getting migraines like I have a tumor, and appetite? HA! I can't stand the sight or smell of food. Girls, you talk about an eater ~ I can get down! Sadly, I haven't worked out since October because of the cysts making it painful so I decided to hit the gym last night and I even went light on my weights. Nope. Left early...had to puke. In addition to having PTSD and OCD, I now have depression because I'm so SICK all the time.

Someone, please tell me that this will go away or that I'm doing the right (or even wrong) thing. I read that someone's back looked like a warzone. OMG, my FACE does. I'm VERY picky about my face and hair ~ my hair has fallen out in bird nest clumps and my face is a map of the US. It's SO depressing. WHY? I'm 33 and I've NEVER had a health problem and now with two STUPID little cysts, my world has crumbled.

So, is this Yasmin side effects? The vomiting, migraines, my eyes not being able to move without losing equilibrium, my face becoming a connect the dots trick, food becoming the enemy...it really feels like I'm pregnant but TRUST that I've not had sex. It's too painful from the cysts.

HHEELLPP...

Love in advance -

Wow, what a wonderful site. Its wonderful to know Im not the only one having issues with this...

I was on yasmin for one year to regulate my menstrual cycle. I had two major issues while on the drug - bloating, and NO sex drive whatsoever. I stopped taking Yasmin for two months, and I was a total nutcase. All I did was cry. I was so depressed and soooo anxious. They tried to put me on lexapro! I couldnt sit still, I worried all the time about everything, and I couldnt sleep a wink. This was in August 2005, and Im still dealing with the side effects.

Worst of all the high estrogen levels in Yasmin raised my normal estrogen levels to sky high. Now i have to deal with hormone treatment to get my balance back on track.

Definitely a bad move on my part. I would not recommend this drug to anyone.

First,

My sympathies to all who have suffered from the side effects of Kenalog. I'm a male in my late thirties. I recieve a DILUTED solution of kenalog injections about once a month. I'm a healthy male, physically active etc..It appears that kenalog wreaks havoc in females and could be tied to high estrogen levels especially during the menstrual cycle.
My side effects: hypertension, insomnia, thining of hair. I've yet to see what it does to my reproductive system, but fortunately I've decided not to have children at such a late age.

Seems like doctors will try anything just to see if it works..Like it were some "Silver Bullet".

Well Wishes to everyone.
