Types of food symptoms and conditions

I have taken it upon myself to do my own studies into cholesterol and heart disease. I painstakingly studied various countries comparing rates of heart disease to cholesterol levels in each country.

From the Data, I can honestly say that I find no relationship between total serum cholesterol and heart disease. More surprising is the data showing higher cholesterol levels associated with less disease and longevity.

My son requires two forms of medications to stop the running nose, singulair and pediox. The two together were a very good combination and it did work. By eliminating the signulair on Oct. 6th, his nose is already running and he is coughing. We have tried Zyrtek and a few others I can't even remember, but none work as well. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I will be calling his pediatrician for other suggestions, but I know she will be against us taking him off of the singulair, especially since he has had pneumonia in the past.

Well, I'm on my second week since I started taking Yasmin. My OB/GYN's nurse practitioner wanted me to give it try before switching from a standard 10-year copper IUD to the new Mirena progesterone coated IUD which is supposed to help with the heavy cramping and heavy periods that are common with the copper since a local dosage of progesterone is delivered directly to the uterus. I've never done well on BCPs but was encouraged to try the Yasmin as it was different than all other pills and it could help with the resurgence of acne in my 30s, mood swings and heavy cramping due the IUD.

I started taking the pill on day 1 of my period. Plus, since I'm still on the IUD, contraception isn't an issue. Two days after starting, my husband and I took off for a five day vacation drive to celebrate our 10-year anniversary so I wasn't sure if some of the symptoms I was experiencing was due to spending a lot of time in the car and hiking in high elevations. However, many of the symptoms I experienced and continue to experience even after we've come back are:

- headache (have one right now)
- tightness in the chest with corresponding back spasms, which I originally attributed to increased acid since I've had these before, although I haven't been eating any types of food that would normally aggravate it nor have I been highly stressed.
- indigestion, heartburn and bloating
- moodiness (small things made me break into tears, and that's very out-of-character for me.)
- continued bleeding with no hint that my period is about to end, so essentially I'm on my 9th day and the flow seems to be increasing rather than decreasing.
- light cramping and backache
- nausea

I haven't been on Yasmin long enough to see if it has helped the acne. But I was already moody before and it certainly hasn't helped in that department. And granted I had 5-7 day heavy periods on the IUD, but usually by day 5 it would taper off considerably. I'm not seeing any improvement on that end either.

After reading the various posts on this site, I'm seriously considering just stopping the pack, it's not like I'll start my period since I haven't stopped yet. I think I'll stick to my original decision and go for the Mirena. I know that spotting is really common for the first few months, but it can't be any worse than the copper IUD so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
