Mood changes symptoms and conditions

Yasmin is the only pill that has worked for me. I have been taking it off and on for years, and it has taken away all my cramps and I don't believe I've had any mood changes with it. I recently went to the doctor for a checkup and to get new pills, and he recommended Yaz. He said he had a hard time prescribing Yasmin over Yaz, so I decided to try it out. I've been on it for 3 weeks and it's terrible for mood changes!

I'm finding myself snapping at people at work, being really angry and anxious, then suddenly being depressed and not caring about anything. I've felt more stressed out in the past 3 weeks then I have in my life. I find myself overreacting about the smallest things, and being way too emotional about it. I start to feel worthless, depressed and alone, even though I have a boyfriend. I have found myself getting really emotional if he needs to work on a project at home and can't spend time with me. I get really upset really quickly, then I immediately apologize and feel bad about it.

The mood changes are insane, and I feel like I'm going crazy! I'm also really tired throughout the say, even though I'm getting a ton of sleep. I just feel like sleeping more and more. I haven't had any headaches, but that's not to say it wont happen later. I'm afraid to keep taking these pills! I want to go back to Yasmin. YAZ is terrible!

I had to re-add my original post as it was deleted.. did not realize that personal information (e-mail) should be put in the post. It has now been 3 days since I have had the Mirena taken out. I feel about a 20% increase in my energy.. My hair is no longer falling out in the areas that I would normally be able to gently touch and pull out about 30-40 hairs..and my skin already is starting to calm down even though that was not really that bothersome to me. I must say that my OB is wrong. It was the Mirena. I did not expect my hair to stop falling out so soon, but I am certainly not complaining. I will continue to monitor and advise through posting so hopefully that will give some High expectations to others who were having the same problem.

I have to say to the ones who are noting that they have not had any problems with Mirena that I too did not have any real issues for over a year. I got it in 4/30/08. Maybe 2 months later I noticed the hair and skin being oily.. was no big deal to me.. felt I could deal with that. Then I noticed fatigue and heart palpitations that I forgot to mention as a side effect (every now and then maybe 5 months later). And then around the same time I noticed my feet tingling and my hands on one occasion turning bright red with my veins bulging.. at that point I started to research Mirena.. read some posts.. but didn't think that was my problem. June of this year is when I noticed and nickel sized bald spot on the right side of my head. Because my hair is long and pretty thick I could Hide it and thought I had better get this out of me. I couldn't right away because I have a high deductible on my insurance. Well I just got it out this past Thursday because I found 2 more spots that could be considered 4 because of the pattern of balding.. so Please pay attention to your body. I do agree with my OB that it is probably not the medication.. I think my body was reacting to having the actual device in it and was recognizing it as a foreign object and was trying to fight it off..causing an autoimmune response. As I mentioned.. my hair is no longer falling out.. the only thing that changed was me taking the Mirena out. Please pay attention to your bodies because I don't think the side effects happen all at once. I am just happy that it seems that it has compromised my hormonal balance and hasn't caused any thyroid issue.. but I have a doctors appointment with my PC to get further testing done just to be sure. If any of my symptoms reappear or my hair begins to fall out again.. I will update. !!

I have mirena for about three years. My biggest complaint is my period sometimes i will have one for about two weeks and then it will skip a couple months. Lately it seems its getting to be longer. Im starting to feel nausea when im on. Other than that i have no complaints i loss about 51 pounds this year just eating right. My sex drive hasn't changed a bit its always been high. Im not sure if i will get another one after my five years is up.

I'm not going crazy...and neither is my child?! I was seriously considering taking him to see a psychiatrist until I read these posts! My 3 yr old took a 10 day round of Omnicef. During that time he had serious mood changes which I had pretty much determined were related to the Omnicef (although my dr said it he'd never heard of that) - severe temper tantrums at the drop of a hat (more so than usual), actually bit a child at school and was just plain mean. Just to be on the safe side I had already planned on not putting him on Omnicef again. THEN I came across this site. He has also had several other "issues" over the last couple weeks that I thought were unrelated - just a run of bad luck or something. However, every one of them is on here as something that someone else has also experienced while on Omnicef: waking up crying during the night - inconsolable and won't tell you what's wrong, mysterious rash on his back, and wetting his pants after being potty trained for some time. I can't believe it. I had even taken a urine sample in to the dr sure he had a UTI (negative of course). Also it may be helpful to note that some of my child's side effects developed the week after he stopped taking the medicine, so I think it takes a while to get out of their systems.
I know that there are lots of children out there that have taken this antibiotic with great results. However, mine will never take it again and I wish doctors and pharmacists were more aware that these problems do exist.

fever, body ache, flu symptoms, anxiety, lack of energy, mood changes.

I am a 35 year old mum of 2 girls,my youngest being almost 4 month old,previous to having my baby had the non hormone coil fitted with great success and no problems.and following my midwifes advice had the mirena coil fitted after much discussion with both my doctor and nurse thought it was my best option as no other contraceptive suited as well as the coil.however having the morena coil in for the past 5 weeks have suffered from an almost constant brown smelly discharge,weight gain,painful joints,lack of energy and mood changes.after researching the mirena found all the symptoms id been having are fairly common place.after contacting my GP speaking to both the nurse and GP have convinced them to take it out and fit a non hormone coil.
at no time upto or since was i told of the side effects,in particular depression from which i suffered from the birth of my daughter which the same doctor who convinced me the mirena was perfect for me prescribed me thae anti depressants i needed to beat my post-natal depression.
i find it utterly astounding that something which claimed to be the answer could be prescribed for me.im not saying the mirena isn't for some,but it def wasn't for me and before you consider having one fitted do your research before you have one fitted.

I am 24 years old. I started using the Nuvaring about 9 months ago, back in November shortly after my youngest son was born. In January, only two months after starting it, I was beginning to have severe stomach pains and a lot of nausea that would come and go throughout the day. I went into the emergency room one night because it got so bad and they told me that I was going to have to have my gallbladder removed due to large stones. I'm trying to figure out whether anyone else has had any similar issues with the ring. I have read here and there that gallbladder disease is a side effect but I also have issues with it in my family. Has anyone else had a problem with this? I have also dealt with a lot of depression, headaches, slight weight gain, mood changes (just as bad, if not worse then while I was pregnant) and I am going to have to schedule an eye exam because it seems like the past few months, my eye sight has just gone down hill fast. I have never had to wear glasses or contacts.

Has anyone else out there had issues with their gallbladder and eyesight? Most of the posts that I see are saying issues with hair loss and depression. I am seriously thinking about talking to my doctor about changing methods, I was just wondering if there are people having symptoms like mine or whether I need to attribute them to something else. Any information would be helpful, Thanks.

Hi, Ladies,

Thank you for this website. I used to be the picture of health. But then I had my Mirena inserted about 3 weeks ago. Ten days later I started experiencing high blood pressure, sporadic numbness in my arms and legs and dizziness. I told my doctor that I wanted it out and he said it wasn't the IUD. I explained how other women are experiencing the same side effects. He said, "There are scientific studies....." totally negating your voices. Then he lectured me about problems with the Internet knowing full well that I am a teacher. But, he said he wouldn't argue with me. I'm scheduled to have it out tomorrow at 8:00.

What can we do to get this removed from the market?

OMG, I don't even know what to say 66 pages of comments about the "oh so wonderful Mirena, (sarcasm totally intended there). I had Mirena put in 7/28/08 and here i am almost a year later and multiple symptoms are popping up. Depression including suicidal thoughts, mood changes, tightness in my chest, difficulty breathing, night sweats, spotting - which has never been a problem until now - weight gain, constant nausea, starting to get numbness and muscle spasm in my hands, the list goes on and on.
Heck i was at work today and i felt like i was having a heart attack...no joke...I'm only 22 years old. It is a relief to know that there are so many others going through the same thing. It is also a relief not only to know that I'm not alone, but now my husband and I are doing better. My mood swings and depression were causing serious problems, and we were on the brink of divorce. I'm really nervous about taking it out though for a couple reasons - what if i found out it really has nothing to do with all the changes i'm going though and also what if I go and find out that this stupid things has actually caused more severe issues to me. I don't know, I just know that something has to change.

i have had my mirena for about 1 1/2 months now, and so far i love it, i have had the spotting for the first month which doesn't bother me and now my period is on and i do have very bad diarrhea which im sure is associated with the period more than the mirena itself. haven't had any lack of sex drive in fact i 've wanted to have more sex, and i haven't' been irritable or anything else, so some of the side effects i believe everyone is having may be made up, think about it if you read over and over and over again how bad the mirena is your going to begin to feel that way i know if i tell myself that my arm hurts all day long then eventually it feels like it hurts..neways all im saying is relax stop reading these scary ass posts and do something to take your mind off of it, i know 3 other people who have the mirena that live down the road from me and NONE of them have had any of these problems...ladies i think you are just trying to find something to blame it on...

I had my Mirena put in about 2 months ago. I was very nervous about it hurting, but it didn't hurt at all!!! I've had 2 kids though and the doctor said it's worse for those who haven't had children yet. I was on Lybrel up tp the day I got the Mirena inserted. I think because I didn't get a period while on Lybrel that it helped a lot with this. I spotted a few times for about a week and haven't seen anything since. I also had cramps for about a day and 1/2 after insertion. I have noticed that my face has broken out A LOT!!! I asked the doc about it and she said that if I wasn't on any birth control at all..my face would be as bad as it is on this. ??? I also always feel bloated. It's horrible...I've never felt this fat before. And the funny thing is I haven't actually gained any weight. I also notice a lot of mood changes and once again she(doctor) blamed my hormones and said Mirena shouldn't affect it at all. So basically the Lybrel was doing a better job with helping these issues... So, I told my doctor I would give this a couple more months, but if I gain more than 10 pounds, it's outta there!!! I also have always had an issue with migraines and that's the main reason the doctor had me switch to Mirena. My migraines have kinda been worse. It's weird, they are less severe but are present almost everyday. Before I would get 1 really bad one once a week and only prescription meds would help. Now I get one not so bad one that I take Treximet for and the rest I can take Tylenol and they go away. weird. the doctor said that if Mirena didn't help my migraines that no birth control would.

My boyfriends kids 8 and 6 have been are on Singulair, Advair, Pediatan and Veramyst. Both daughter and son experience restlessness...trouble sleeping, stomach problems, Headaches, daughter especially experiences anxiety and mood changes. So many symptoms I have seen posted here. They have been on these meds for years and take them all every day....I am printing posts and researching info for him to give to his ex to find alternative treatment for their allergies and asthma....any advice or info will be greatly appreciated.
thank you!

Well, my Fiancee (Sandra) started taking Topamax a few months ago. Her side effects have included: loss of energy, tiredness, tingling in the feet, nausea, chest pain, appetite lose, rapid weight loss, and a severe decrease in her sexual drive. The worst of the side effects is her sudden and unpredictable mood changes. She verbally assalts me and her children all the time. She is aggressive and picks fights over anything and everything. I love her with all my heart but I can not live like this. So bottom line, Topamax has gotten rid of her migraines and/or decreased their frequency and severity. And the cost of that benefit is the destruction of the relationships with the people that love her most.

I'm 15 years old and i've been taking prednisone for a few months, and from what i've read i'm on a really high dose. i was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and another autoimmune disorder concerning my muscles at the same time. my doctor told me prednisone was my only choice; it was either that or i would lose the ability to walk. he told me there'd be side effects, but i had no idea it'd turn out like this or i would have fought harder for another course of action. i started out on 30mg twice a day, and since then was weaned down to 20mg twice a day and now i'm down to 30mg once a day. i've been looking up a bunch of information trying to figure out if there's a way to lessen the side effects or any hope at all that they will get better. apparently there isn't much. after reading a bunch of these stories i gotta say i'm not feeling great about this. i totally understand everything everyone is going through. i'm sure you can imagine what it's like being smack in the middle of high school with a huge puffy face, acne so bad on my face, chest, back, neck, and shoulders that wearing a bra could put me in tears, and mood swings so bad i've lost friends over it. everyone knows how brutal high school can be, where appearance and attitude are everything. and i try to tell my doctor about it and he literally looks at me like i'm a whiny teenager and says "you're just going to have to deal with it." and people like my mom and my closest friends don't get it either. nobody understands how beyond frustrating it is. i'll get into the worst moods and not have a reason for it, but i'll stay angry for hours or burst into tears over someone looking at me the wrong way. it'll get to the point where i have to isolate myself from other people because the abrubt mood changes get so bad. as bad as i hate to admit it, the pain from the arthritis is gone now and supposedly my muscles are doing better too. developing arthritis caused me to have to quit cheerleading, something i've loved doing for 6 years, because the pain got to the point where i couldn't get my arms above my head or bend my knees. however, i'd almost rather deal with the horrible joint pain than deal with the side effects of prednisone. if your doctor gives you and alternative method, take it. i've always been confident in the way i look and really outgoing and happy and now i sometimes catch myself thinking about suicide. that's shocking to me because i've got so much going for me, but this medicine makes me miserable. and when i complain about it, anyone i'm talking to just looks at me like i'm being a cry baby. my mom does too, she'll say things like "you just have to do this. i know it's not what you want but to be honest i'm sick of hearing you bitch about it."
i feel a little better knowing other people feel the same way - like nobody gets whats going on with them. the prednisone does give me days of really great euphoria and days when i feel like i could run a marathon, but waking up in the morning to the acne and huge face puts me to tears every day. i have to pee all the time, usually getting up at 2 or 3 am. i don't sleep well anymore and i do sweat all the time. which also sucks being a teenage girl. i'm always hungry, and when i eat i never feel full so i don't know when to stop. my neck and face have put on so much weight that when people see me in the halls or out and about they ask me what happened. mind you these are people i don't talk to, just ones i know from classes or whatever. and it's pretty bad when teenage boys i've never really talked to ask what happened to your face. kind of a blow to the ego, or whatever is left of it at this point.
i'd like to know if, as my dosage gets lowered, the side effects will diminish and when i'm off the prednisone completely if they will disappear altogether. any help there?
or if there is any way to help the acne or puffy face

my doctor just put me on something called methotrexate or something like that to help wean me off the prednisone, and does anyone know what those side effects will do? or if they'll affect the prednisone side effects?
i'm constantly obsessing over gaining weight and what my skin looks like and what i eat and how heavy my face feels and the occasional pressure in my eyes to the point where i just want to be put out of my misery.
and after reading other people's stories i really don't understand why this drug is still given out as freely as it is. but maybe all doctors are like mine, they just don't get it.
best of luck to anyone who's on prednisone, my heart goes out to you; i'm right there with you
sorry this became like a book it wasn't meant to be this long

Significant hair loss has caused thinning around my face & entire hair line. Within weeks of taking Ambien CR... Woke up daily with headaches, mood changes, depression.....

I am a licensed NYS Cosmetologist. I know what is normal hair loss & what is not. It started with itching on my whole scalp, there was a lot of white greasy almost dandruff substance on my scalp. It didn't flake off like normal dandruff though. Then I noticed my hairline was not what it would normally be. Each time I brushed my hair the brush was filled with more hair daily... I stopped taking the Ambien CR, the itch went away almost immediately & so did the hair loss. I thought I'd give it one more try & took 1 pill one night. The next day the itch came back, so did the white greasy substance on my scalp & my hair started to fall out again.......... Went to my Dr told her what was going on & she didn't even blink, just asked if I wanted something else for sleep. I said no thank you not after this experience. Went back on Advil PM, not sleeping as well as I was, but at least my hair isn't falling out any more. Just keep hoping it will grow back in, has anyone had their hair grow back???

After all the bad ratings on the nuvaring, I am suprised it is still recommended for use. My doctor told me to try the nuvaring because I have a history of having break through bleeding every day and he didn't want to put me on the medicine (northindrone) that will stop it and straighten me out quickly. Not sure why but I might have to switch doctors. The first month I had break through bleeding every day during the 2nd and 3rd week. When I took it out for the 4th week, the break through bleeding stopped which I find weird. My cycle didn't start until 3 days later. I'm currently on the 2nd month and I experienced large amounts of discharge the first week and just moving into my 3rd week I am starting to experience break through bleeding, cramps, and bloating. I have never bloated before in my life. During these past two months I have also experienced episodes of extreme hunger and then episodes where even the thought of food makes me sick. I have ZERO sex drive, am extremely dry (doesn't make sense with the increased discharge?), and there are times when it is too painful to even have intercourse. I have not experienced the real bad mood changes/ depression but I am tired all the time. The tiredness gets to the point where I can barely stay awake and I always get more than 7 hrs of sleep a night. I'm going to give nuvaring one more month and if it straightens out my breakthrough bleeding I will stick with it because bleeding every day is the most frusterating and depressing thing I can think of. It doesn't even compare to the side effects I experience while on the ring. I have tried 6 different forms of BC with no avail and bled for a year straight once before.

I have the worse pain in my right pelvic area, acne like a 16 year, no sex drive whatsoever, and I cant even begin to talk about my weight!! No matter what I do I cant seem to lose it!! I keep thinking I maybe bipolar because my mood changes so drastically in a moments notice. I don't even know who I am anymore. I swear I think I know why the doctors say this is the most effective means of birth control because I have no desire to even have sex with my fiance.

My doctor prescribed Loestrin24 to me after three failed attempts at other birth controls. I was on the Depo shot for about 9 months, and had my period for 4 months which is why we decided to switch. My period went away within 4 days of taking loestrin which was great. I haven't noticed any side-effects until now. I have been taking this pill for 1 month and 1 week, and for about 5 days I have been extremely rude and moody. I am having horrible stomach cramps that make me feel very depressed. I don't want to leave my bed, and I don't want to eat. I have lost 7 lbs in a little more than a week. My sex drive has increased, which is great, but the stomach pain and mood changes are too much for me. I just feel like giving up on birth control because nothing seems to work for me. If you have any suggestions for a better birth control pill I would appreciate it very much.

I have been taking Singulair for one week now due to my exercise induced asthma and allergic asthmatic symptoms. I feel very stressed out and anxious and yell at my parents a lot. Also, I feel kind of paranoid, like I feel as if somebody is watching me at all times. It is scary because I've only been on it a week. Also, my face is red and blotchy and my acne has gone from very little bumps to full blown breakouts all over. I have a barking cough and runny nose now that the doctor prescribed it. When I cough I have a pain on my left side that feels like someone is stabbing me.

Last Tuesday, my son was prescribed Singulair by our pediatrician. He was also prescribed Pulmicort by nebulizer at the same time. Within a couple of days, I was noticing a dramatic change in his personality. He's only 21 months old and normally a very happy, lovable, easygoing little boy. He did a complete 360. By Friday, I had to take a day off from work, as I was too scared to send him to daycare. He took his last Singulair chewable tablet on Friday night. Saturday was his worst day by far. I was in shock by his behavior. He was extremely aggressive, punching and slapping anyone who came near him, he was throwing things, throwing himself into walls, etc, just completely out of control. I contemplated even taking him to the hospital, but then started doing some research online. I had my mother contact a pharmacist whom we trust, who advised for us to stop the Singulair, as if he was having any side effect, it would more than likely be from that. On Sunday, I started to see some changes in him. Yesterday he was getting back to normal. Today, he's that much better. We actually went back to the pediatrician this morning and I'm actually thinking of filing a formal complaint against the dr. as he basically swore up and down that his side effects weren't from the Singulair. Well as a parent, does anyone really think I'd want to put my child thru this?? It may be different if he had behavioral issues prior to this, but this came completely from left field. I am beyond upset right now, pissed off that this drug can be on the market. How many children have to be affected??? This is very scary to me. My son was only on Singulair 4 days, and I feel guilty and angry that he had to go through even that short period of time on the drug. And then to have a pediatrician basically discount me and say that it has nothing to do with singulair is a complete slap in the face! I won't stop speaking out against this drug and hopefully it will inform other parents of these harmful consequences!!!!

Hi,
My 5 year old son has been having similar problems. He was on Singulair on and off since 2006, throughout winter for his asthma and sporadically in the summer. His new pediatrician finally said to keep him on it everyday the beginning of 2009. The only reason I am here today is because I just filled a new prescription of Singulair and low and behold it had a new warning label none of the other bottles had, "Call Dr. if you experience mood changes, sadness, depression or fear." I quickly went online to read some reviews, to my horror I see hundreds of posts from other parents detailing my sons exact aggression/fear issues.

I have been having so many many problems at his school. I had to take him out of first Kindergarten because he hit the teacher a few times. In the new school he was doing ok but then it got worse, then better, then worse, then better again and so on. Maybe it was the breaks of singulair he would get. I had him meet with THREE different therapists for ADHD and they refused to conduct any further evaluations on him because they couldn't find what the problem was. The school even ordered an educational evaluation for him to see if there was a learning disability.

The teacher is always complaining that he's too distracted, doesn't sit still and is so aggressive. He is meeting all his benchmarks and is very bright but his social behavior is causing mayhem. At home his fear of things got out of control. He was scared of his lamp and would wake up screaming at the top of his lungs full of panic and fear because of the stupid lamp. He won't go to the restroom by himself because he's scared a monster would attack him etc. Since I started giving him the medication consistently everyday everything just got worse. He flips out at home, pushes hits and is snotty as all hell.

It makes me sad because I swear he tells me the same thing, "But mom I was trying so hard to be good and I couldn't. I was telling my brain to stop but it wouldn't listen. I don't know what happened." He would come home so sad, frustrated and upset. He had a few bouts of crying in the classroom too, lots of problems with aggression.

I've done the same thing, time outs, reward system, even made up "Jacob days" which were days we did whatever he wanted at home if he had a good week at school. NOTHING works..... I was at a loss until I read these reviews.

I am taking him off tonight and hope this is the end of all the aggression or at least helps a bit. I'm not going to say my son is 100%angel but he used to be much sweeter, calmer understanding and so on. I would just be happy if it helped a little. It's a shame because this medicine was helping with his asthma but at what cost. I will post an update and let you all know how it's going.

Oh I forgot to mention he has been in and out of the school nurses office this past month for stomach aches... he had a lot of stomach problems at home too. So I will see if that clears up too.

wow after reading this i finally found my connections. i have been through hell and back and blamed it on my tourettes but i think i might have found my solution. i was always a fun happy easy going girl and lately i have been so depressed terrible thoughts and nightmares. mood changes crazy. i feel terrible cause i am being so unreasonable with my family. i am switching immediately

I had mine put in March 2nd, and I'm 20 and have not had children yet, but I am married. The called and made sure it was alright to do it without having children and the nurse said it was common. She didn't tell me that they were going to cause me to scream out in pain and cry while they sized me and then repeat that action while putting it in. Thank God they gave me 4 ibuprofen hours before that! The initial pain dulled out any cramps I had the first day, and the rest of the week was a breeze! I've been looking forward to this freedom for a long time.

Into my 3rd week now and I'm developing a few side effects, it began with these contractions that feel like I'm about to give birth to a set of knives. It's like I can feel exactly where it is and I can feel the plastic jabbing me (though I highly doubt that's the case, although I'd like to know & should probably have it checked out). I get these sharp, sharp shooting pains in my uterus and it makes my heart hurt at the same time. It takes my breath away. They come and go though. Hopefully I'll get used to it and the back pains and mild hair loss.

I consider myself lucky though, I can't take the pill because I suffer from migraines and mood changes but this hasn't given me any of those. I actually feel like I have energy. Just the sharp pains rarely stop now.

im only 17 and i start the ring only a month ago today was the first day i had to take it out for the end of the ring.. i don't think i will be using it next month. i have been so angry lately and i cant help it i think it is the ring. i haven't wanted to have sex and i just wanna sit at home. my boyfriend cant take me any more so so the sake of me and him im about to try to not use it next month an see how my mood changes. if it doesn't its just me ill let you no

I have had my mirena since June 2004. I've told a zillion people how great it was & how I want another one 5yrs from now because it is so great. Here is how my story goes my second child was born the last of May 2004 with a cleft lip & palate. In the first 6mo he either had 3 or 4 surgeries never sleep & still trying to pump breast milk to feed him. I go Nov 2004 to the Dr with panic attacks, anxiety, depression, they wanted to admit me & I would not let them. The looked at me & said your bipolar take your meds. I am still unable to take my kids in the movie theater or drive long distances in the car by myself . Feb 2005 I gained 45ibs always wore a size 3 in clothes but now then a Size 13! Took diet pills off & on to lose that. I now weigh 124 but my stomach always is bloated to where I look 3 or 4mo preg. summer 2008 till now I now double up in pain & tears it fills like laber pains, extreme mood changes worse than every because I'm on a mood stabilizer & it doesn't seem to help much, Very bad back ache, hands & feet always going numb, headaches. always tired no energy, I feel bad because I've been really angry with everybody around me & I feel that know one understands. I 've be going from doctor to doctor but for 6mo to try to get a answer. Even my husband noticed something must be wrong because I'm just not myself. I had just came up with I'm getting Old & falling to pieces even though I'm just 29yrs old. I go see a gyn today & I'm telling them to remove it now. The joy of life has been took from in the last 4yrs & 9mo. Please don't let this happen to you no the risk early
