Wrong answer symptoms and conditions

Hello,
Just thought I would add some pro nuvaring commentary to the chorus of horror stories here. I've been on the nuvaring for about two years now and so far I have no babies (yay!) and no side effects I could confidently link to the ring. Like most women I get headaches (about once a week or so), experience pms, and my sex drive is not what it was in the first few weeks of my relationship but I'm unwilling to ascribe any of these 'side effects' soley to the ring. In particular I find it difficult to believe as some of your postings indicate that the side effects of the ring seem to be worse than the pill- depression, weight gain (in one post 40-50 lbs!), headaches, etc. when the dosage or hormones is lower. So I guess simply put, I am satisfied with the ring and although it's not my place to criticize another woman's choice of birth control, I wouldn't let these posts scare you away from what is, in my experience, the best form of hormonal birth control based on its user-friendliness and lower dosage of hormones.

SINCE TAKING MY FIRST LUPRON SHOT, I HAVE NEVER FELT SO BAD IN ALL MY LIFE. I'M REALLY DEPRESSED ALL THE TIME AND DO NOT KNOW WHY. HAVE THE HOT FLASHES, NIGHT SWEATS ARE SO BAD UNTIL I HAVE TO GET UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO CHANGE MY NIGHT GOWN. WENT TO THE E.R. ON TUESDAY WITH VERY SEVERE CHEST PAINS AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY THING WRONG AND I KNOW I'M NOT JUST IMAGING THINGS. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS SHOT TO ANYONE. ALL I WHAT TO DO IS TO GET RID OF THE FIBROIDS. HA!! WRONG ANSWER

Yep...........I trashed mine last night.
Did not take a second pill. Even though I did not get
any rashes, itching or other serious side effects my body
was just telling me "there ain't something right about this
drug". The side effects I had were total insomnia two
nights ago and frequent peeing yesterday. Never peed
so much in a day? Last night I got some sleep and I woke
up today feeling normal as I usually do. I think this drug
is terribly dangerous for anyone with rheumatoid or joint
problems to begin with. It is too powerful. My doc said
the same thing to me....let's try it..........wrong answer.
I probably don't even have a sinus infection since they
feel alright today. The only thing I have had for the past
two months is a feeling like my head is warm inside alot
but I don't have a fever? I am pretty sure it is all due to
allergies since I have environmental but went on immunotherapy again this spring.......3rd year in a row..take
9 shots. They definitely helped but I still take an antihistamine
but I find my joints and sinuses are always a little done in
this time of the year once again probably due to inflammation?
Anyhow......Thank you all for the input on this drug. I am
grateful it was here. I have heard so many horror stories
on this drug the past few days. Good luck to you all who
did suffer physical or mental ailments. Hang in there and I
hope you get peace of mind, body and soul.
Later............
