Time will heal symptoms and conditions

Dear Jen,

wow, this TSH of 0,009 (or 0,09?) sounds very very low.... The normal ranges (well, here in GErmany, I think it's in US the same...?) lie between 0,5 and 2,5...

Didn't they do anything for your thyroid? I think you should get checked this again.

In my case it's the opposite, I'm experiencing a subclinical hypothyreoidism, my TSH was a bit high (4,1). And I read very often, that the pill is also interacting with our thyroids.

So perhaps time will heal that thing but everyone should get checked for thyroid-problems, I think, because this can also cause all those symptoms of anxiety, dizzyness, tiredness, nervousness, muscle weakness and many more...

I wish you all the best, Jen, and keep us updated on how you're doing!!

Greetings
Silke

hi guest 36095.
i also still get chest pains,i have been off yasmin for 8 months. i only seem to get them either around ovulation or menstruation but it feels like someone is sitting on my chest or like i have broken my ribs or something. i also get a sensation of not being able to get enough air sometimes. these sensations are linked to hormone imbalances and hopefully they like all the other wierd and not so wonderfull symptoms will go away.

Hello Guest (msg 31031)

I went throught the exact same thing your daughter is going through and am still suffering (5 months so far). It always seems to be cyclic getting better than worse...

Is your daughter more estrogen based (softer features) or more testosterone based (masculine, etc). It seems that girls who are mroe testosterone based have the worst times getting off of Yasmin.

I don't know what the best advice to give you because if I say to wait it out, the lenght of time to get better might severly affect her mind and cause other problems.... You might want to discuss with a gynocologist to put her back on a pill that is opposite of Yasmin... more progesterone based.. then as she improves I feel that she might have a much easier time to get off this type of pill rather than Yasmin.

For me, I am trying a low dose of Prozac (10mg) to help with my severe digestion problems. I absolutely refused ssri's before thinking that time will heal everything but now at a point where I need to try something and I know that ssri's will not affect the hormone balance as much as bcp's.

Good luck and I will let everybody know how Prozac works on me.
