Wow, the more postings that come up, the more discouraged I get. Gosh, I went on this stuff to take care of cysts that made me nauseous, tired, and bloated but the more I read here the more I realize that the symptoms are just being magnified by the medication that is supposed to help me. Geesh.
As for going to the gym - girl, I feel you! I miss kickboxing SO bad and it took everything I had to go back last night and when I did - BOOM - I puke.
I have a lot of imbalances as it is (OCD and PTSD) and I take Effexxor for it. It does WONDERS for my depression and OCD and unlike Paxil, I didn't gain weight on it. No, I'm gaining weight because I can't get enough energy to even take a pee non-the-less go to the gym:-( I just feel so sloppy floppy right now.
Sympathetically yours,

Chrissy - You are absolutely an adorable charm! Right now I'm in bed, as I've been all day, my 'watermelon' is too heavy to lift so I've propped my laptop up. I'm glad, unfortuantely, to know that there are other people that have been here and are still alive! I ate a small bowl of oatmeal to keep my stomach from eating itself but I have no desire to even cook for my family.
So many are on Yasmin for birth control but I'm on it because of the cysts so I don't know if I can stop, yet, or if there is an alternative. I've considered a holistic center just to get my body off of any foreign substance but I'm afraid of the cysts growing. My doctor is on my poo list because I have to wait until 30 January to talk to her. I have two more packs to go through, but remember that I don't do the white pill week, I keep doing the yellow so that means I have about seven weeks left.
This is just insane. Here I thought I was getting sicker from the cysts growing and my estrogen increasing, but I'm experiencing illness from the meds that are supposed to be CURING me. Ouch. The first week or two of the Yasmin I felt disgusting but not at ALL like I do today. If it gets progressively worse I'm definitely going to take my ovaries out and mail them to the company that makes Yasmin.
Ewe. That's gross, but not as gross as how I feel right now.
Thanks for listening - AMEN for this board!
