Estrogen has been known to promote the risk of blood clots the pharmacy fives you a 3 page warning sheet  with a prescription.

I'm feeling ya, girlfriend!  I had my first hot flash a few weeks ago, and I'll be 39 july 1!  My mom went through it early, and we both got our periods early, so it's not that unusual.  However, if your family doesn't have a history of this, then see your gyno!

I have Bell's Palsy.It was described to me as a facial stroke.Not a lot is known about this disease.they are not even sure what causes it.It may be caused by a viral infection,stress,or it may be environmental.Those are the 3 definitions I was given.When being treated,i was put on a strong anti-depressant,a viral medication(valtrex)and an antibiotic.I have had several episodes of Bell's Palsy.But these do help lessen the symptoms.As far as problems with your cycle,I'm really not sure.(I've had a hysterectomy),but because of the different things I've been through it actually makes sense to me.I'm wondering now if it might have something to do with hormones.i plan to talk to my doc about it next visit.Best wishes!♥

Roxylee, I'm not a doctor but if I may, it could be that the low estrogen and progesterone levels just before your period are responsible for PMS.  One of the PMS sequellae is URI.  Does this explanation make sense to you?

I just got off a few months of phentermine. It works great but it does have side effects. I had hot flashes, insomnia, thirst, dry eyes. When I weaned myself off I got headaches.\nGet it from a local doctor/local pharmacy. Don't buy it online-it costs 3x as much and your health isn't monitored.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and smoking predispose you to a higher likelihood of blood clots than the average person.  Even if you were to get a blood clot very few of these clots actually cause a problem (pulmonary embolism) and even fewer cause serious complications from this problem (heart damage, pulmonary infarction, or death) especially for a 29 year old.  But there are certainly increased risks and those risks are not anything to ignore.\n\nYou have the power to stop the smoking...there's no time like now to start.  Believe me you will need to try more than once to get it right.  It is the single best thing you can do for your health.  \n\nAdditionally HRT is an elective medication.  There is virtually no absolute need for any woman to ever HAVE to take that medication.  \n\nYou have the power to change your lifestyle and habits.  There is no time like the present to begin.  Good luck.

With your history of HELLP you need to seek another opinion right away.  Also a PE is nothing to sneeze at.  Both are life threatening conditions.  Your body is trying to tell you something, listen to it!  Get to another Dr. right away for their opinion. I am a retired OB nurse and have seen patients with complications like yours, even months later and the outcome was not good,  Don't ignore the warning signs.

Actually since you started getting this acne after you quit taking the pill temporarily, it's probably hormonal. I think your logic seems right as far as weaning goes, but that won't be effective towards a contraceptive anymore and you could do more harm to yourself than good. \n\nI suggest seeing a doctor and letting him know what happened, there could be something out there to help. I'm not sure what you were on, but I've also had a bad experience with skin senstivity and the sun while on the pill years ago. But also keep in mind, if you are 23, the road to 30 is going to be bumpy. Weird things will happen to your body and you can thank age alone for that. \n\nYou seem overall healthy and happy, but I'm just not certain that weaning yourself off of the pill will work effectively if it's a hormonal issue. I did have a friend who had a simular situation arrise after she quit taking the pill, but she went straight into taking the Depo shots and that seemed to work for her. \n\nHowever, while taking the shots you don't menstruate usually and when you stop taking them... your body is a mess, so I really don't think you should consider it too much. Her acne, migrains and swelling ceased but it left her with bad cramping every month and more than average bleeding. \n\nJust talk to your doctor about a hormone replacement in the form of something other than a contraceptive.

You should always talk to your doctor before taking any supplements but many women get relief by taking Evening Primrose Oil Capsules everyday, this helps with the hormonal changes that result from ovulation and menstruation.  Hang in there and don't give up, no one today should suffer from PMS :)

In the RN program we were taught that COPD can be caused by embolisms resulting from obesity. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

This also happened to me.  Probably not a big deal, but you should see your doctor just to be sure.

If it is actually due to menopause symptoms, soy and black cohosh are supposed to be helpful.  Without knowing your menstrual history, still having problematic hot flashes after sixty seems as if the symptoms may have lasted a long time.  This combined with your statement that HRT did not help, makes me wonder whether the cause is not something else.  Have you considered consulting an endocrinologist?

I have heard of this...but I would recommend seeing your doc...perhaps you need a new medicine.

I had tachicardio and PVC's nothing major just a pill a day until I had dropped a few pounds (after I delivered the baby) and change in diet!\nYou should see a doctor soon though!

I would definitely get an appointment with your Doctor for them to check you.  Although you seem to be tapering off (which is the correct thing to do with most medications) if you taper off too quickly that could cause withdrawal symptoms.\n\nSymptoms include:\n\nweakness, lethargy, tiredness, nausea and vomiting,  \narthralgias, myalias (muscle pains), low blood pressure (hypotension) which may cause light-headedness or even fainting when the affected person stands after sitting or lying down.\n\nhttp://adam.about.com/encyclopedia/000370sym.htm\n\n\n\nHere is some more detailed information:\n\nWhat are the possible side effects of prednisone?\n \nIf you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking prednisone and seek emergency medical attention or contact your doctor immediately: \n      · an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives)\n      · increased blood pressure (severe headache or blurred vision); or \n      · sudden weight gain (more than 5 pounds in a day or two). \n\n\nOther, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take prednisone and talk to your doctor if you experience \n      · insomnia; \n      · nausea, vomiting, or stomach upset; \n      · fatigue or dizziness; \n      · muscle weakness or joint pain; \n      · problems with diabetes control; or \n      · increased hunger or thirst. \n\n\nOther side effects that occur only rarely, usually with high doses of prednisone, include \n      · acne, \n      · increased hair growth, \n      · thinning of the skin, \n      · cataracts, \n      · glaucoma, \n      · osteoporosis, \n      · roundness of the face, and \n      · changes in behavior.\n \nSide effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome. \n\n\n************************************************************\nWhat other drugs will affect prednisone? \n •  Do not take any other over-the-counter or prescription medications, including herbal products, during treatment with prednisone without first talking to your doctor. Many other medicines can interact with prednisone resulting in side effects or altered effectiveness of the medications. \n************************************************************\nhttp://www.drugs.com/\n\nGood luck and God Bless!

If you are between the ages of 40 and 50 and you're premenopausal, you're at a higher risk for this problem. Fifty percent of patients with AUB are older than 45. But if you've just begun to menstruate, you may find similar problems with AUB.

Yikes, that must be kind of scary! Ask your doctor, since no one else answered, and I have no idea what could be causing this.
