I have been reading these side effects for the past 2 nights and I am just livid... absolutely livid at the makers of this pill and the doctors who just hand it over (last year my former Ob gave me 3 sample boxes of it... a total of 6 months). Then when we complain the damn doctors won't listen... as if they know more about our bodies than we do!! What upsets me even more is the number of Ob's who are MEN.... who have NEVER taken a birth control pill and probably wouldn't wear a condom to save their life ... therefore they probably push their own wives into using this killer pill. Hmmm... sort of ironic that the one commercial used that song with the lyrics "Goodbye to you.... Goodbye to you oooo). Women... I seriously urge you to report any doctor who has brushed you off to your state's medical board. You may think this is extreme... but it's what I did and the reason I did is because when complaints go here they are taken seriously. We must teach these doctors that it is not OK to give us the brush off when we need them.... and God only knows how many women are still being pushed into taking this pill. I work with a girl who takes it and even though I told her what happened to me she still takes it. Her doctor swears by it (of course HE does... He doesn't take the pill). It scares me because she has a 5 month old baby girl and I'm afraid of what that little girl would go through if she lost her mom. I feel that by logging complaints we can show doctors that it is imperative to pay better attention to us and hopefully we can not only improve health care but hopefully we can stop this abuse (I truly feel it's neglect on their part) and save more lives. How many women would be here today if their doctors had listened? It's time to involve the medical boards in this... I don't care how upset my former family doctor is with me I am so relieved that I did this... I feel that by using my voice I have been set free from keeping a terrible secret. Those of us who have survived the trauma of this pill should stand up for the women who have lost their lives (how scary to think that many more of us came closer to this than we realize). My next move is to research this lawsuit... I cannot wait until this pill is OFF THE MARKET!!!
