I am a 25-year-old mother with a 7-year-old daughter. This is my story.
Early July of this year I started on the Nuvaring (not the first time), All was well for the three weeks except for the fact that that I had some real bad mood swing. I thought it would go away because this is how it was the last time. After the 3 weeks of having, the ring in I took it out, and put another one right in. You are supposed to leave the ring out for a week to go through your cycle and the replace it with a new one. It is not against the law to skip your period, so I did just that.
A few days later, I was lying in bed and the room started to spin, so I closed my eyes and went to sleep. The next morning, I woke up got dressed for work and out the door, I went. Around noon that day I was sitting t my desk and out of no where my heart felt like it was going to blow right out of my chest, I was not able to catch my breath and then my vision started to go in and out. I was going to go home and lay down and one of my co workers told me just to go lay in my car just in case something happened someone would be near me. I would say about 10 min later I was in the E.R and was told that I had PSVT (heart condition) so I went home to lay down. The next day I was back in the E.R and then they told me I was depressed and had anxiety, which I new was not the case but ok what ever the Doctors say. I had told them about the pills (not bc) I had taken a few days before and they told me that was not the issue and nor was the birth control I was on. So back home I went and slept most of the day. The following day I got myself together enough to get in the car and Pick up my Daughter from my Brothers House (her vacation) the next Morning I was on my way back to the E.R! In addition, was told the something again.
Well I am a woman and have lived in my Body for 25 years and I know it like no other. By this time, I wanted noting in my body so I took my Nuvaring out and Guess what. After my cycle I was fine. To be honest I thought my body was reacting to the medication (not BC) I had taken the week before, so after 2 weeks of being back to normal I made the choice to go back on the ring.
I put it on Monday Aug 22 and on Friday the 26 I was at work and all hell broke loose in my body, vision off, heart pounding,weakness,tired ect. So went outside to get some air and that did not work and the rest of my day was a mess. The next day I was fine, went on about my life, and went to spend time with family and friends. Well just when I thought all was well.....Sunday I woke up in a panic, heart racing, crying and tingling in my arms,neck,back and chest, all of the same symptoms I had before. My boyfriend grabbed the box that the Nuvaring came in and started to read and much to our surprise I had all the worst symptoms. I picked up the phone, called the on-call Doctor, and went over my findings. He then told me “Well I think you have found your problem! Can you take it out? I told him I had just removed it about 10 min ago. He said Ok, and I should call my Doctor On Monday to get back on a different form Of BC. In return I told him that I was done with the shit and GOD made it possible for my to have children and I will be damned if I am going to mess my body up any longer and I hung up the phone.
Ever since the Nuva ring was taken out I have been a mess. I am going through my second natural cycle now. There was a period of a 2 weeks where I was fine and then BAM all hell breaks loose once again.
I'm taking a ton of vitamins right now. The Doctors have tryed to push prozac down my throat. My family doctor gave me paxil and I used that for 6 days and "said no more". Today is the second day with out any medication. yesterday morning was a little rough but today was much better.
I can not think of anything that I have done diffrent in my home life,work life or just my life period.
Right now I am up in the air about the whole thing. I am not sure if my head is on the right way,or up my ass trying to figure this crap out.
The episodes seem to come and go. I will be ok for a few weeks and them all hell breaks loose once again. My mornings seem to be real bad. As the aftrenoon draws near I start to feel better from the on. I can only think that is is hormonal at this point.
Almost a week to the day before I started me period is when I started to feel all the symptoms again.
Another thing that is diffrent then before is that my boobs would always get sore right before my cycle. These last cycles that has not been the case.They have not been sore at all(weird)
Things I am using at the present. I'm trying to do this the natural way
Vitamin C 1000
Vitamin B complex
Vitamin E 400IU
Soy pills
Primrose oil (before bed)
Melatonin (before bed)
And Phytoestrogen body cream w/ dong Quai licorice and Black Cohosh
I have had a lot of blood tests and and a MRI on the brain and C-spine and all were negative.
let me know if you can think of anything.
