[pantasma]

I feel the pain. I get debilitating joint pain from my hips to my toes. It's incapacitating the day before and for two days after my period starts. BC helps SO much, but I still plan my pack so my first day is a Saturday -- just in case I need to curl up in bed or a hot, hot bath to die.

I got my first period around 12. It started awful and went downhill from there. (I'm sure my 7th grade math teacher thought I was just trying to get out of her class.) I started on Yasmin when I was... 16? Then went off around 20, to see if things had settled down, since BC is sometimes used as a regulator until your body can figure shit out. NOPE! Back on BC! But with the class-action lawsuit in the US, I figured I'd take the chance to shop around. Did some research, asked a couple docs, got down to bidnis. It was hit and miss twice, but I found one that manages the pain, plus a slew of other bits 'n' pieces.

Yes, BC has side effects, but it depends what the drugs in the product are and how they interact with your personal chemistry. The kinda sucky part is you should /really/ wait 6mo before deciding whether one works for you or not. It's simply the minimum expected time for it to take full effect. It can also cost a pretty penny, but since you're already thinking about the patch I like to think that means you have coverage, where ever you are.

It's been said: No-one feels the same things. The people telling you get over it have no idea what you're feeling. Pain is a subjective phenomena, but that doesn't change the fact that it's severely negatively impacting your life, job prospects and self-esteem only being what you mentioned here.

They're not "problems," hon. They're problems.
