Jab symptoms and conditions

Hello!!!!Been on Yasmin for three months now and not many bad side effects at all,positive side effects were breast tenderness which was good for me cos i had small breast,light periods which lasted for three days,high sex drive,lovely skin and a bit of weight loss,the bad effects were feeling sick two or three days to the end of a month's pack and when i took a month's break from it i had the worst period pain ever and symptoms of nausea. Now am thinking of going back to it because according to my GP saying, maybe if i stay longer my body would adjust to it and i wouldn't feel sick anymore.Well i have tried so many pills and the jab i think Yasmin it's not as bad as people think,we just got different bodies that react differently to these pills.

So glad I found this site!! i just went to the Mirena website to check side effects. i had this inserted a few weeks after i had my first daughter in December of 07. The last two months or so of my pregnancy i noticed my sex drive was slowing down, but it mostly was just the thought of the discomfort(I put on 50 pounds lol) So for months now, I have had the same decreased sex drive-it brings me to tears! I was never like this in my life, and I finally thought that maybe something was up with this Mirena. Once I read the posts, ans saw some of others side effects, i think thats whats going on. I have had Horrible leg cramps in my lower legs, severe shooting pain when I stand up, and I could not figure that out either. I even just last week, went out and bought expensive new sneakers and have been trying to where them thinking maybe all my other shoes were messing something up. Now I doubt it! Luckily my periods have not been bad, except the fact that they are beyond irregular(just light) and my cramps are about the same, but I do get some sharp cramps like i never felt in my abdomen. AND!!! I have lost all but about ten ponds of baby weight, but I have been on Phentermetrizine (same as Phentermine diet pill) from the doc, and have only been able to lose about 3 pounds in a month, so I am thinking this thing is def. holding some weight on me. Hope I can get it out, I don't have any insurance anymore!!!

I had my Mirena first placed in March 2007 after the birth of my son in November 2006 (this was my first post-partum cycle). I had prepared myself for pain, but after the doctor placed it, I couldn't believe it! I felt nothing. He told me to come back in a month for a check. So I did, and he said everything is fine, but he wanted me to have an ultrasound. I had the ultrasound which said my device was low. He said, let's do another US in 3 months because sometimes they will move back to where they need to be. I had the 2nd US, which said it was still too low and not effective. My doctor said I needed this device out, and a new device in. Well, I told him I wasn't going to pay for it (or all these copays), so he called the company and I received a new device for free. However, he wouldn't take the old one out and put the new one in unless I had my period. Well, I did not get my period on the Mirena...ever. So after months of waiting, I finally talked to a midwife at the practice who agreed to replace the device without having my period. I had the device replaced in December 2007 (incredibly painful!).

So now it is March 2008, last weekend I was watching TV and felt something funny "down there." I went into the bathroom and felt my string almost coming out of my vagina. I did not feel any device. So, all weekend the strings would jab me in the side of my vagina. I went to the doctor on Tuesday and he said everything looked fine, I just had long strings. I asked him, why have I never felt this before? He sent me for another US, which read that my IUD was again too low and needs to be taken out. I am done with the Mirena and will see what happens next.

I had a kenalog injection in my shoulder at the end of October during my period, my next period was 4 days late and appeared to be normal, 18 days later I started bleeding again which went on for 13 days, I had 5 days off and am now bleeding yet again. I have an added complication of being on warfarin for life for recurrent PEs so Drs are unable to give me anything to stop the bleeding. I was referred for a pelvic scan and am now waiting to see a gynaecologist. No medics seem willing to admit kenalog may be the cause. As my blood has to be kept thinner & I bleed easily, I am very concerned at the amount of blood I am losing. When I had the initial jab the consultant did warn me I may have menstrual irregularities which I interpreted to be a few days early or late, certainly not non-stop bleeding.
I couldn't believe what I was reading when I found this site, so many of us are suffering, why weren't we warned of the side effects. I certainly wouldn't have had the first injection if I had known and I will not have any further ones.

I Have Been Taking Kenalog For the past 20 years For Very Bad hay fever Nothing Else Worked As i Have Tried the lot.
I have 1 injection a year around May Time And the relief that it gives is fantastic this year my new doctor suggested as i am now 44 that i try and not use it

It is now June 23rd and i cant take anymore my appoinment for my Jab Is tomorrow and i cant wait for the relief that it will bring.
i have had (touch Wood) No Side Affects That I know Of and will keep on using the product >

I live in the UK and receive an annual kennalog injection for hayfever.

Described as using a giant hammer to crack a nut! my first injection was about 10 years ago and the effect was absolutely amazing, my hayfever cleared up instantly.

During the first few years the only side effects i noticed were increased agression ( i am normally calm !! ), really bad headaches and the increased number of bugs/colds due to my immunity system being broken down. What i did notice is after a few years the injection has a lesser effect, it still works wonders but not as good as the first few times.

Last year i had a massive bust up with my doc as he refused to give it to me. I cannot do my job with hayfever so eventually he gave it to me on the condition i signed a disclaimer as it is no longer recommended for hayfever.

I usually dismiss all normal hayfever tablets but this year I have decided take docs advice and am using tablets first before i go back begging for my injection.

The tablets i am using are called Neoclarityn and are only available over the counter.

Into June and all is ok so far apart from a bit of asthma.

Anyone else using anything else other than kenalog for hayfever??
