Hi I started taking Yamin 3 weeks ago because I have terrible cramps due to having endometriosis. My doctor said to take Yasmin continuously (without taking the placebo) so I don't have a period. I thought I was being a hypercondriac but I am suffering from headaches, nausea, I gag once in awhile and now I have calf pain. After reading these notes from all of you I am wondering is this going to get better once my body gets used to it or will I be feeling worse. Plus I am extremely tired and I was wondering if anybody feels that too. I am at a loss because without something I can't function with all my severe cramps. I am not sure to switch pills or keep going to see if things get better. Any suggestions? Thanks! Lynn

Hello:

I'm a endometriosis survivor. My severity extended to other organs as well with multiple surgeries and medications. My cycles were grueling to say the least. But I tell you, after suffering for 24 years I only found two methods that worked very well:

Catflam - Which is an anti-inflammatory (but how long can you take that?) your OBGYN has to prescribe. Works great, take w/food.

Acupunture and a product called Via Viente (www.viaviente.com) saved my life! Whew. Both natural processes. It worked so well that sometimes I would forget I was having a cycle! Important note: go for acupunture one week prior to your cycle (tell him/her that's what you're coming for) and take two shots of Via Viente per day, but the last dose should be before 7 PM, this product gave me energy!

Medical Options:
Lupron shot - works great, but it causes you to gain weight/loss and severe acne, hot flashes like menopause; there is a product they use with it to help minimize the reactions.

Depovera (not sure of spelling)
Older product on market. Like a male hormone...watch out for muscle mass, excessive weight gain.

Hope this helps.

Relieved in Dallas, Texas!
