Ladies!! I posted here a few days ago...I had a horrible weekend-with the excessive fatigue and panic attacks...but I wanted to share what I have discovered. I strongly believe that all of us being on Yaz and getting totally screwed up-that our electrolytes are out of whack! And our mineral balance-which is essential to our overall well-being is completely messed up. I think we all have magnesium deficiencies!!! I am blown away by this discovery in myself- I hope you all can get some relief-there is this powdered magnesium supplement called Natural Calm and I took it last night and this morning felt like a new person!! I still feel a little strange but compared to the last 6 weeks, I feel like a new person-like my old self!! I could get into a Nutrition 101 lesson on the importance of balancing calcium intake with magnesium intake but I'll let you so the research. I also have a book called Prescription for Nutritional Healing (which is an excellent resource) and it stated that magnesium deficiencies are caused by (among many other things) birth control pills and diuretics!! and as we all know-Yaz is a terrible diuretic. Good Luck and I really hope this brings those of you who try this some (if not all) the relief you can have!! Just give it a try...worst case scenerio is that if you take too much magnesium you will have diarrhea- but that is not likely to happen-take it in a controlled way!! You simply mix the Natural Calm in hot water-like tea!! It's such a simple fix to such a complicated problem. Also, I went to the doctor yesterday and had bloodwork done...waiting for the results but she thought it was my thyroid too!! That's messed up...this stupid drugs has screwed our bodies up so bad...but we can fix them...let's have hope!! We just need to get balanced out again!! Take care

NO SIDE EFFECTS: POSSIBLE HELP WITH SUPPLEMENTS had very serious sinus infection. two weeks of anit-biotics with no result, symptoms got worse, before taking levaquin for an additional two weeks. within three days was back on my feet. i previously have taken the supplement MSM for continual joint pain in past years, and was pleased to find a wide array of other health benefits from taking it. Having two kids, building a home and busy work schedule led to neglect of my heath supplements. (not smart) Resulting in immune dysfunction, chronic sinus infections over the last two years. After realizing that my health was was in ruins, i decided to start taking my supplements again around the time of my course of levaquin. started taking my multi's again and more importantly my MSM ( similar to chondroitin or glucosamine) Note: I recently read that MSM has been proven to help the body fight infection, as it is required to be present for the body to fight infection. MSM is simply (organic sulfer) found in everyday food we eat. with processed foods and preservatives this element is removed. To make a long story short, after first taking levaquin, I did have some minor joint and back pain (among other things) started taking MSM and effects were diminished, and then gone. After reading what others went through, i made the correlation between the two, and with my previous history of joint pain i would think that i would be a prime candidate for these symptoms. It worked for me, it may work for you, and the worst case scenario is that is doesn't work but you become stronger and healthier from taking it. Brief History. I use to love to play basketball. after joint pain and swelling could only play once a week, and couldn't even walk up stairs the next day. after taking MSM continually for a couple of weeks i was able to play daily, for as long as I wanted. a true miracle. The good news: its at the health food store, it's really cheap, and its a completely natural supplement. take 1000 mg daily with meals or without. its worth a shot for no symptoms.
