Reading these is both disturbing and a relief. I was put on YASMIN by my GYN after blood work confirmed my estrogen was low- I was 42 at the time and the GYN felt I needed the pill to boost my energy and she said it would "even out" mood swings. I stayed on the pill for 3 years. I attributed my fatigue to being "perimenaupasal" meanwhile I stopped the pill 3 weeks ago and my fatigue has lifted, my aches and pains are gone. When I would try to research these symptoms I would come up with Lupus or some chronic fatigue issue, but I realize now it was this pill making me fatigued, moody, and thirsty!! I have had blood work done to rule out any other type of illness or issue and realize so many other women are struggling with these symptoms, the pill that is supposed to make life better is making people sick.
