Yaz and severe pain

Hello! My name is Lisa and I had a HORRIBLE experience with Yaz. I took Yaz for 2 months after 3 months of Seasonique. I had switched because Seasonique made me extremely moody (all of a sudden I hated everyone on the planet). My OB gave me a few months worth of Yaz. Within weeks I noticed a strong stomach pain. I contacted my OB and he thought I just had a stomach virus. This pain continued on for several more weeks. I called my OB again and he just said, "The pill doesn't do that." I got a second opinion from another OB and he also agreed.... "The pill doesn't do that." Then out of desperation I made an appt with my Fam doctor and he diagnosed me with Gastritis.... said that he thought my diet was the cause of my pain. Uh, let me mention this.... this stomach pain is so severe you literally CAN'T eat anything cause if you do, 5 mins later you will be in SEVERE pain. To get a better picture of this pain just think of glass shards piercing through your stomach walls (I thought just maybe I was getting an ulcer). My Fam doctor gave me a months worth of Aciphex (which never never never helped at all) and I also saw him twice more in that month (which was my 2nd month of Yaz). He got so frustrated with me... it was Gastritis and if I wanted it to go away I had to be willing to make changes in my diet (I still was not eating and was losing weight) and also be patient enough for the Aciphex to take effect. Finally, out of frustration I quit Yaz. Within weeks my stomach pain was completely gone.
Let me say this to all women reading this. I don't care what your OB says.
There is no need to tolerate any pain from a medication.... especially when there are other options out there. To have a doc tell you to "wait it out for a few months" is ridiculous. To not be able to eat for days or even weeks is dangerous to your health. I eventually googled Yaz + Side Effects and found that the severe stomach pain I was having was a possible side effect and it even instructs you to tell your physician if you experience such pain. Why is it I opted to tell not 1 but 3 docs this and no-one would listen??????? Personally I would like to see all 3 docs lose their jobs because they should have known this.
Ladies, tell anyone you know about this pill. Get the WORD out about this pill. I frequently go on Yahoo Answers and girls are always asking advice on birth control pills and I jump at every chance to spread the word. Let's get this pill OFF OF THE MARKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello, I was on Yaz 5 months and I had a few muscle pains, nothing horrible. One day I started having SEVERE stomach pains. I went to the ER, then my fam doctor and he diagnosed me with gastritis. He put me on Nexium which wasn't helping. I couldn't eat anything beside eggs and bread. I was out of work a few days before I figured out certain foods were irritating it. I saw a Yahoo Answers post from a woman who said Yaz caused gastritis. I took it upon myself to stop taking them and in 2 days it was gone! Something that went on 2 weeks, severe pain and it was gone almost immediately after I quit this pill!(It says gastroenteritis on the side effects in the pamphlet). I was on other pills for 9 yrs and never had a problem except PMS! BTW my muscles were better in a week after stopping! I know it was this pill. When I first started it I read the side effects people were posting I was like yeah yeah it'll work itself out. NO, THIS WAS A BAD PILL FOR ME! I f you notice a gnawing and sharp stomach pain that's intermittent and you're on this pill, stop or it won't go away!
