As a Doctor myself I think drugs are NEVER the answer except in EMERGENT issues in Heroic life saving... YOU however and all individuals are and should be MORE accountable for your own health and STOP DEMANDING the Drugs and look to LIFESTYLE changes in DIET and EXERCISE to achieve the GOALS so necessary for quality and quantity of life.... The tools are at your fingertips ... The almighty internet ... And your OWN imaginative mentation is your TRUE limitation... So TAKE control of yourself and BE accountable .... Sorry so blunt but MORE tough love and Educating people is whats needed.... NOT more drugs....

I had a sore throat. The first doctor said mono. The 2nd doc. said no mono or strep --must be viral. Third doc says viral and puts me on predinsone, levaquin and darvocet because my uvula was swelling from infection. White count was elevated and had low grade fever. That was Friday..............................The Monday after that I had severe pains in my left side. After teaching went to ER they said gas after 2 minutes. Next day level 8 pain same side went back to ER. They said skeletal prescribed me 4 more drugs and told me it was viral too. Went to internist on Wednesday had to miss teaching he scheduled CT on Thursday morn. Level10 pain almost passed out on Thursday eve missed school/teaching. Friday admitted to ER at different hospital beyond any level of pain I have ever had, blood pressure through the roof, heart palp, they gave me morphine and phenagrin and muscle relaxer for spasms.
Here I am a perfect state of health get a sore throat and the next week I am in the hospital because of the 2nd ct saying that I am full of poo. 4 weeks later I am still in pain, missed 12 days of teaching and now they say i have ibs. I miss my active life before. I believe the combination of these drugs caused this. I am young no children and very healthy. Ultrasound,s blood works, 2 ct scans with dye, colonscopy, xrays show no probs. Which is great but still in pain. Anyone PLEASE HELP the doctors are taking their sweet time while I have lost weight and stay in bed which helps the pain. Bending over, lifting, eating, pooing, sneezing, coughing, hiccuping can make it worse. It is intense SHARP pain. I have cut out everything med wise except for Miralax and now I have diarrhea and joint pain.
They want me to take Dicyclomine and IMIPRAMINE, MIRALAX and Levisin sublingual and Diflucan.

This is just plain rude and talk about petty. Please, raise your standards here and remember what this site is about for God's sake. I think that you should remember that when post things like this here, new folks coming in are likely completely confused or think that someone such as yourself has just plain lost it.
If you want to be supportive of other women like yourself, as you are clearly in a rant, than exercise less judgement and some kindness for goodness sakes. Everyone here is trying to be helpful. And I would definately say that your comments are about the least refined, helpful or thoughtful in months of coming to this site. If anyone is trying to get some help, it certainly helps for all of us to hear how long someone has been on, off or trying to come off. There is nothing "petty" about that and many women that do find it helpful.
I have no idea who you are, where you come from or what your "hell" has been like on yasmin but it certainly sounds like it is still taking its toll if the way you are coming across says anything. While personal experiences are helpful, so is information. I also don't even know who all the folks are who have been posting but I discovered that alot of what is there-highlights a good majority of the symptoms I experience and many of the other women here have.
While being more "touched" may help you, for others, havinng "information" to apply may be just as valuable to others. Ya follow?
Sarah, I think that making your own site is helpful and am consistently impressed by your level of maturity and kindness and wanting to reach out and help others.
Whoever this person is that made this post, I certainly hope that you get the help and support that you need as you sound rather crude and out of control. Good luck to you.
Its really so disappointing when women do this kind of thing with eachother. Really. Keep your chin up will you. For all of us, you set an example.
