Punch symptoms and conditions

Hello Ladies, I am also a victim to Mirena. I am a married 30-year old women with three children and have been with my husband for 15 years. I have never felt the way that I feel today with the Mirena. Like most of you I didn't want to tie my tubes, but is very sure that I do not want anymore children. I figured I would try the Mirena for five years and then see what I want to do at that point in time. My list of symptoms are headaches, severe fatigue, bloating, cravings, acne, mood swings, dizziness, memory loss, painful intercourse, depression, nausea, vomiting, weight gain or loss (weird), thinning hair, severe backaches and cramping, pregnancy symptoms like not being able to brush my teeth without gagging and the feeling of a baby kicking inside my belly, lack of sex drive and last very little appetite for food. I thought I was going insane until I found this website. Thank you all for posting your symptoms you may have saved my marriage and my children from hating me. My mood swings are ridiculous, I mean down right MEAN for no reason. My husband and I have decided to have the Mirena removed and he will get a vasectomy. He said I have been through enough and God knows I didn't want to try anything else. So thank you all. Also for the young lady who works in the health field and has only had the Mirena for "I'm 21, relatively healthy, and never had children. I work in healthcare and see people react like this all the time-no tolerance to pain, and just wanting an excuse as to where some of their "pains" come from" discuss your issues if any after a couple of months. I hope you don't have any problems. But I know for a fact that before the Mirena I too was a healthy women who had never taken medication not even to have my three children. So I think I can handle pain very well. These symptoms are real at least for me. But good luck with you. To all the other ladies, follow your gut instinct. You are the only one who knows what your body is going through and can correct it. I will follow up once I have had the Mirena removed. Thank you all.

I have been on the Nuvaring for a little over a year now and I have noticed so many changed. When I am on my period, I have stomach aches SO bad, i nearly pass out and I have been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, which I never had before. I have abosolutley NO, i mean NO, sex drive WHAT so ever, the site of a male makes me want to punch them in the face, I have had such horrible mood swings its literally ruining my relationship with my boyfriend, i am wondering does anybody else get these side effects? I am going to make another appointment with my Doctor tomorrow and get off of this IMMEDIATLY! Reading everybody else's stories has helped so much!

I have been experiencing TERRIBLE irritability...so bad that i am wanting to punch things. I get frustrated so easily then feel horrile for what i am doing/ saying to ppl. Anyone else finding this?

Also i get cramps, which i have never had before and excess ( gross) discharge. I have had it checked out before ( i thought it might be an std) but have always been told its the pill. :(

i constantly get the urge to punch a baby while take 8,000mg every other day of winstrol. does this happen to everyone?

Hi,

I have taken Yasmin off and on for 3 years. I have had depression, alot of crying and erathyma nodosum ?? which is nodules in the lower part of the leg. This is a rare disorder that feeds off of Yasmin. When I am off of Yasmin I am fine. Within the first month of taking the pill I will experience sore upper leg muscles and then within 1 month the soreness will move to my ankles then nodules will become very prevleant on the bones of my legs. The nodules grow QUICKLY even over night. At one time I had 5 and the largest one was 5 inches long. This is EXTREMELY painful and will last up to 8 months from the time you quit taking them if you allow it to get this far. My Dr.'s did not know that the Yasmin was causing this until it was so developed. It was so bad that I had to have punch biopsies on the nodules and set off for diagnosis. If anyone has had this problem please let me know what you did and are doing??
Thanks E

I came to this site by accident and when I started to read the postings, it brought back horrible memories. I was on prednisone several years ago prescribed for an arthritic condition. I was 21. Despite asking my consultant he said there were no side effects for me to worry about. In two weeks I had put on two stone most of it either on my face or abdomen. My hair would come out whenever I had a shower and washed it. I constantly looked like I'd had a very late night with a punch up at the end of it (black circled eyes and body covered with bruises) and I felt like my mind was in a constant fog and I was very depressed. But despite all that I felt great! The pain was gone, I could clean the house like a whirlwind. I felt like Superwoman ... except after a manic activity session, I would have exhausted myself and the pain would be even more intense. Eventually I was taken off the drug (a decison made by my doctor and my husband as they felt it was doing me more harm than good). For two years after taking the drug, I still had some of the effects mainly the one that bothered me the most, the weight gain. I tried everything to shift it and couldn't lose it. But after those two years when the drug was finally clear of my system, I did lose the weight. I would like to wish everyone who is on this drug well, I know how devastating the side effects can be and I also know how important it is to have something to lessen the pain. Rest assured that if you do come off the drug the side effects do go away, but that it often takes a long time to be back to your old self.

Vivid & later very distracting dreams, lasting side affects that "punch you in the chest, mentally & emotionaly" as a result of stopping just after 2 weeks at 50mg/day. Can't sleep. Fast weight gain. Zombie status. Rather use pot again. Much better results. Sexual disfuctions. Jaw clenching. Seems that the drug is designed to self replacte it's own exsistance by the delayed
side effects of stopping cold turkey. Should of never started
because stopping is like droping off a clif. I'm ok now that I'm
off sertraline hydrochloride (Zoloft). The vivid dreams seem to
want to live out their vibrance during the day during the few
days after stopping the doses. Give yourself a few days to really know what it's like to be fully off the drug. (diagnosses:
