I thought I was going crazy after getting constant yeast infections over the past year with no help for looking into possible reasons for this from the nurse pract. I was someone who had maybe one yeast infection every other year - now I have had one pretty much constantly for the past 8 months. After reading several other posts on this I think that Yasmine may be the cause.
I have also had insomnia for over a year (been on this pill for almost two years) and never would have made the connection to Yasmine if it was not for this site. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia as well and now I wonder if the joint pain, leg pain, numbness in my legs and feet might be Yasmine as well. Not to mention the leg pain waking me up at night. Doctors thought that I might have neuropathy (nerve damage). I wonder if all of this might not be from this pill.
The last 6 or 7 months (of the 2 years of taking this pill) I have noticed increased bloating and HORRIBLE cramps and the last 2 months weight gain (with no change in diet or exercise).
I am going to talk to my GYN next week about this and even if she does not agree, I am going off this pill given everything I have read here. Scarry that all of my symptoms might be tied to this pill.
