I am the one symptoms and conditions

I am still trying to figure out all this yasmin stuff. I am the one whose 13 yr old daughter was given yasmin as sorta a favor because she was having long periods. It seem to me that yes, yasmin or yaz whatever the difference is works well for lots of people. Thats great i'm glad to hear that. What about the handful of women/girls that it does not work well for even potentially dangerous. I am starting to thinkl that the ones that have had bad reactions to this are the ones that didn't have good followup with thier obgyn. It seems to me that there is sometimes no association made with bcp and some of these adverse reactions. I mean when my daughter started to get sick and stuff I took her to the pediat. not the ob/soccer mom. I just happened to stumble upon this site in my own desperation to figure out why my daughter has been and is so chronically tired all the time. I do wish when I recieved these sample packs of strong hormones that i would have been told of things to look for. Honestly ,I don't think this doctor knew of these side effects. I will say they stopped the bleeding she hasn't been on yasmin since the end of march and still hasn't had a period. I was told this should be out of her system by now. I don't believe that though.

Hey again
I feel the same way most of you women do. I am the one with the panic attacks about the volcanoe. I know it sounds stupid, but I saw a little segment on tv about the volcanoe under yellowstone national park. It really freaked me out because of course they say it may erupt in the next 100 years...so why does it bother me so much. It never used to. I honestly thought I was crazy until my mom found this web site. It helps alot. I have panic attacks, night sweats, dry throat, numbness in my arms at times, tired, I don't eat much, I was vomiting for a while. IT SUCKS!! I was on my first pack of Yasmin, I took the 3 weeks of yellow active pills, and when 3 days into the white inactive ones, I started to have this symptoms really bad, so I quit the pack. I'm glad I got this early, and not after a year or so, from what I have read on this web site is that in about 2 weeks I should start feeling like myself again...I really hope so, my mom and boyfriend are so worried about me. My mom said that I am just not myself. I have a month and a half old baby, sometimes I just don't want to take care of her. I never had that feeling before, until Yasmin got in my system. I can't wait until it's out. I don't like living my life this way, in anxiety.

Please keep posting your thoughts...it really helps when I start to go into a panic attack......can anyone tell me how long it took to feel normal again after quiting Yasmin?????

I have been on Prednisone since July 3,2006, I agree with all
the side effects that has been mentioned. I have temporal artirites a the age of 58. I was within hours of never getting my sight back. The drug did stop the blindness so far. I am having trouble with my eyes but also I am having so much bladder trouble now. They say I do not have an infection of the bladder, and the pills could be causing the troubles.
Is there anyone out there that is also having bladder troubles?

The head pain was like my head was going to burst open, not just a head ach for me. I put up with for almost two weeks, till my sight was so bad and I couldn't hold my head up and the Dr. on vacation came back and knew I was in trouble and researched it. Other s had been treating me for allergy pain. I knew this was no head ach.

If no one will listen to you just keep pushing for more. I am the one that asked for a blood test and my count was off the charts. We know our bodies the best and I am not usually a sick person or a pill taker, so this has left me with alot of changes going on that I thought was going to disapear, but after reading the letter on this chat line, I am really worried. So many of the feeling are so strong already, mood swings, I am usually easy going and happy, but whow..somethimes I don't know myself. I have a really good business and it is really hard to keep it all together now and like others have said, I feel I am wearing others down with not feeling good from the pills not my condition.

PLEASE....let me know if anyone has experienced the bladder problems.

THANK YOU,

I wanted to suggest to all those that are looking for alternatives to singulair, that they try Web Md. I am the one who posted about my baby being on Singulair since he was 4 months old. At Web Md they have a color coding chart for asthma that has helped us greatly. We have a set plan of action when it starts to act up. We know what to give first, then second and so on. I have found that the old fashioned hot steamy bathroom can stop an asthmatic cough better that Albeuterol. We do the breathing treatment followed by about 10 minutes in the steamy bathroom. It has worked every time. My son is back to sleeping through the night again and has almost no congestion left. I always thought that the congestion was his Asthma. Who would of thought it was a medicine ment to help him. Other side effects he went through are- extreme irritability-temper tantrums- excessive shaking- chest congestion-extreme thirst- lack of appetite-diarrhea-stomach pains. That is what I know. He is only 2 now, so he can't tell me what I have put him through.

Jessica, I am the one that wrote the despearate boyfriend story.

I really feel for you as I am in the same situation. You know that was not the real you but nobody else does. I strongly recommend if you have not done so already is give this website to your boyfriend and let him read it. If he cares enough about you and if he man enough he will read it.

For me it really opened my eyes to how damaging these pills can be to a person and end up affecting your whole life.

Don't despair and don't give up either. But a word of advice from someone who has learnt some hard lessons from the past, don't beg for him back, give him the website and ask him to read it, if he willing and does read it he surely will forgive you if he doesn't then he is a coward and be prepared to walk away and don't contact him again.

Hope this helps
