Off all meds Mood
Thursday, January 1, 2009 | A General Update story
I have been off Lupron for about 4 months now and it has been one crazy ROLLER COASTER ride that I am about ready to get off of!  Since being off Lupron, my obgyn put me on continuous birth control (2 different kinds).  He had to change it twice and finally take me off it completely because of the side effects.  I had severe nausea after 3 months from first bc pill, then severe migraines after only 1 month on the other bc pill.  Now I am on nothing - cold turkey - taken off everything and only taking supplements/vitamins.  So now 3 weeks after the "cold turkey" began, I am feeling crazy, severe pelvic pain, headaches still, cramping.  What am I to do?  GRR!!!!  Here we go again!  I originally wanted to be off all meds and healing on my own, but now I am not sure if I can do this.  Between the pain and being confused about what to do, I'm lost.  I have an appointment with my other dr in Pittsburgh who specializes in endo and who I trust more than my local obgyn.  Maybe this will help.  I just feel down like the cycle is beginning again where I'm in pain and not sure what to do.  I just want the pain to end so that I can begin to live again.
