Glad I stumbled on this website. I started NR in April. All see...

I put the NuvaRing in May 26th and by June 1st, I felt extremely fatigued, only able to lie around for the most part, walking with difficulty. On June 6th, I woke up feeling tired and heavy again, but felt better after breakfast and coffee so went to get some shopping done. I got very dizzy and lost the strength in my legs in the store, could not walk. I removed the nuvaring, and made it back home with my friends' help. After dinner, I went into some kind of severe reaction. My friend had to call paramedics because I went totally limp, could barely talk, with severely slurred speech, no strength to even lift my head or move at all. The paramedics found a very low heart rate and low blood pressure. I went into some kind of shock I think, got very cold and my teeth were chattering. I am in hospital now with intermittent severe weakness, which progresses to near paralysis if I try to be too physically active when feeling low energy. this same response ocurred with three other progestin-containing hormone medications, but this has been the worst one, with the longest recovery time.
