Pigment symptoms and conditions

I wish I had never tried Yasmin. Spider veins; increased pigment on my face, leaving me with dark splotches; daily nausea, which became much worse if I got slightly off schedule. I've been off the pill for more than a year and the skin problems caused by Yasmin have not gone away. Worse yet was the low sex drive, vaginal dryness, and bad vaginal pain. I'm worried that I won't be the same as I was before.

I also am experiencing high bad cholesterol, which blows my mind as I exercise 2-5 days a week, eat extremely healthy (no fat food, no friend food, very little margarine and oil, etc.). No one can believe that I could have high cholesterol, and recently I have begun to have white areas on my skin with a loss of pigment, called vitiligo. I suspect a correlation with Yasmin, and am so glad to find this site, now I have something to us eto convince my doctor that it is my birth control and it is clearly dangerous to women.

I'm African American and received an injection for a minor infected hair bump which had hardened and swollen. 4 months later I have no pigment in the area. The Dr. did not warn me until after the injection was given. I am not happy about a big white spot on my brown skin. Does anyone know if I have a legal case with this matter? I see no signs of pigment or hair in the area.

My gynocologist had to put me on Yaz because I had had a Kenalog Injection for a slipped disk and after being injected with Kenalog I kept having menstrual periods....4 in a month a half! So she gave me Yaz, it seems to work so far, but this drug gives me side effects too. Has anyone experienced extreme tiredness? I seem to be tired non-stop even after having a lot of sleep. This wasn't listed as side effect on my prescription, but I thought this may be causing it. Since I started taking this 3 weeks ago I began to feel real depressed and angry for no reason at all. I just get these weird bouts of depression.
