I began using the NuvaRing in January with no problems. In April I started having severe sweating and severe chills - nonstop. I could not figure out what was wrong - I never associated it with the NuvaRing. I went to the Dr. and they tested me for all kinds of things and found nothing. Over the course of a month I was constantly at my gynecologist, my general practitioner, the emergency room, or urgent care. I missed a TON of work. Always the tests came back negative - and that I was fine. Finally they came back with that I had parvovirus B19 - which is a blood test and they had to send it to the hospital so I suppose it was true, but I kept saying that can't be ALL I have - there must be something else here - and they kept saying no, it's all the parvovirus. I went online and looked up symptoms for parvovirus B19 and chills and sweats was not a symptom. Parvovirus takes 4-6 weeks to go away. At the end of that time I will STILL having these chills and sweats and I found this website and BINGO - it finally all clicked. I removed the NuvaRing 4 days ago and I have not had any problems since. It's ridiculous. You just always have to diagnose yourself, and the Doctors say don't do that but what the heck? If I hadn't diagnosed myself I would still be miserable! I do not intend to use the NuvaRing anymore.
