I posted a few reports on this site a few months ago and just thought to let you know how I feel after 10 months off Jasmin: well I feel great and back to my old self again. Do not despair Ladies, if you want to go off Yasmin, please do it. Here is an account of what happened to me when I went off Yasmin: 1/ finished my last pill and waited for my periods. First 2 months: periods came regularly/ SYMPTOMS OF VERTIGO AND GENERAL UNWELL FEELING WENT. 2/3rd and 4th months: horrible muscle pains with cramps, and very sore upper right arm: I went to see a physio who advised that I should carry on (even if I could hardly walk) walking once a day (10mns) and swimming for 20mns a week, and he also gave me a 'theraband' (elastic band) to exercise slowly my right arm. Although it gave me pain, I persisted and I did the swimming once a week and the walking once a day. EAR CONGESTION : no improvement / HEART MURMUR AND PALPITATIONS / no improvement 5th and 6th months: pains in my calves stopped but muscles were still weak, I carried on walking and swimming EAR CONGESTION: SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT HEART MURMUR AND PALPITATIONS/ NEARLY GONE 7th and 8th months: I started to gain more strenght and more stamina in my regular exercises. EAR CONGESTION: NEARLY GONE HEART MURMUR AND PALPITATION / GONE 9th and 10th months: BACK TO MY REAL STRENGHT AND I MANAGED TO CARRY A HEAVY RUCKSACK ON A WALKING HOLIDAY IN ANDALUCIA / Since I came back I've been really energetic! full of good humour and in an excellent mood. I still do my regular exercises to keep my muscles in good shape. So ladies, please do not despair, it will happen to you also! And since I went off Yasmin, I have decided to leave my body alone and will never put it under drugs anymore. Also, I have not seen one doctor since the end of June last year !! SO YASMIN IS THE CAUSE OF ALL YOUR TROUBLES AND PAINS. BEST OF LUCK (DO NOT BE AFRAID OF SUFFERING AFTER YASMIN!) Sylvia
