I warn women as often as I can because it did such a number on me. I am not a suicidal person at all, but during that time when I was on those shots, life became so bleak. I felt like I had fallen in a black hole from which I could not get out. Then one night, I sat down wrote a few letters to some folks explaining why I could not go on any more. I sealed them and put stamps on them. As I looked at those letters, I fell to my knees crying my eyes out screaming at God, "why, why, why". As I stilled myself, I had this thought to see a doctor since I had dealt with many things in my life but never considered such extreem measure. <br />I went to see the doctor the next day and lo and behold, this stupid shot put me in a menapausel state with a full blown depression to go with it. I was only 30 years old at that time. I went off of it immediatly! I also developed a heart condition during that same time. The doctors could not explain it but once I was off the shot, my heart started to get better and today there are no traces of a "early hypertrophic cardiomyopothy". I believe it had to do with the shot! Dangerous stuff!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19646581.post-6926013838473523192006-10-31T06:32:00.000-06:002006-10-31T06:32:00.000-06:00I went with Amanda to her "annual" some years ago ...I went with Amanda to her "annual" some years ago when she was choosing to no longer be on the pill. I was in the room when she told him that she was no longer going to be on the pill. <br />Doctor: "What, do you want to get pregnant?!?" <br />Amanda: "No, we plan on using contraception."<br />Doc: "Well, that rarely works effectively. You'll probably end up pregnant."<br />Amanda (looking at me with a look of trepidation): Well...<br />Me: "I will be taking care of the contraception and if we get pregnant, that is fine. No more pill."<br />Amanda (look of relief): "Yeah."<br />Doc: "Well, whatever."<br /><br />These doctors, that are practicing their love of women (as W would say), have very little concern for their patients and even less concern for their future. It is infuriating. I was ready to punch the guy in the nose. Sad thing is, one of Amanda's good friends had the same doc and when she told him that she wanted to get off the pill (she was there alone), he talked her out of it, telling her she would be pregnant in three months without the pill.Chalmershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06355578099725547881noreply@blogger.com
