I also am experiencing high bad cholesterol, which blows my mind as I exercise 2-5 days a week, eat extremely healthy (no fat food, no friend food, very little margarine and oil, etc.). No one can believe that I could have high cholesterol, and recently I have begun to have white areas on my skin with a loss of pigment, called vitiligo. I suspect a correlation with Yasmin, and am so glad to find this site, now I have something to us eto convince my doctor that it is my birth control and it is clearly dangerous to women.
