I am the mother of a 23 year old who has been on Yasmin for 5 months.
Her dermatologist prescribed it for her without blood tests for acne. She went to a gynecologist who did a blood panel and said her testosterone levels were four times the normal level and agreed with having her put on Yasmin. We as her parents were totally against this decision.

Since she has been on Yasmin she has suffered severe abdominal pain with periods. She had an ultra sound and nothing was found. She then developed an infection in one eye. Very red and itchy. Took steroid cream for that. Then in July came down with strep throat. Antibiotics for that.
Since then she has had 3 bouts of strep. Every time she gets off
antibiotics she comes down with another bout within a week and a half.
She has also had a lynph node in her neck swell up to a huge size you
could easily see. Doctor said it was a byproduct of her strep.

She is now contemplating having her tonsils taken out. I am at my wits
end. I know all this chaos is from this pill and am trying to get her to get
off it. It is so sad and exhausting watching my previously healthy daughter go through this. And she still isn't convinced all this is due to Yasmin.

I have read so much on this pill. The doctor's hand it out like candy. Anyone got any words I might use to convince her to get off this killer?
Thanks.

i have suffered from Chronic ASthma and Allergies since I was two weeks old and have been on and off Prednisone ever since. The first 6 years of life were in and out of the hospital, recieving ventolin, intal, beclifort, and prednisone treatments. at times I would be on up to 10 meds 5 times a day. My doctor who is still my Doctor today (Im 22) said that they didnt know how i survived. Im assuming it was the above list of meds, my wicked parents and faith. I remember as a kid , my mom would have to crush the prednisone up and put it in jam and i would cry becasue it is honestly the tiniest and wort tasting pill I have ever ingested! I shoul dhave known i was in for trouble.
the thing of it is that by grade 1 I was moonfaced and gained excessive weight in my stomach and back. my brothers were thin and active adn parents the same. but i was a real case, couldnt swim or skate or stay outside too long or go on sleepovers without my "machine" as i called my nebulizer. Frankly it sucked, bu i only say that now, becasue i realize that not everyone had to live this way. up until like teo years ago i just assumed that most people dealt with the same stuff.
anyway, im 22, my legs and arms are ridiculously strong, like we are talking hard. but since im 5'2 on the best of days , my rather large leg muscles make me look even stouter. I have had most fo the symptoms, my hair is a lot thinner, swelling etc, but the worst is the weight in my middle. I CANNOT get rid of it. I feeel like im clogged full of cortisone and steroid byproduct and that it is making weightloss in my middle , nonexistent. this really has affected my emotionally because og course i grew up in a country town and was fat and it scared me for life and now i have trouble being touch by men becasue i feel like they are just feeling my fat. which isnt my damn fault. I wish i had at least had the pleaseure of eating all my favourite foods in order ot become more than 60 pounds overweight. it scares me too because of course fat around the middle is the worse place to have ti and leads to all sorts of lovely things.. and my parents feel so bad becasue i had to go through the mental torture from kids and adults alike but like they say , it was either prednisone or death. i am also now a narcoleptic, and take effexor and alertec for that whcih has its own set of side effects, but none as severe as prednisone. I suppose we all have our crosses to bear though.
