Title: just got out of hospital:(
Post by: deniz on October 23, 2008, 05:16:56 AM
one week ago, during i was having  my dinner at a restaurant i fainted.for about 1 minute i had no senses, i looked dead.it has horrible it was frightining.Especially for my friends sitting next to me
2 minutes after i lost consiuousness  i felt better, but still dizzy
i got to hospital for a hell of a check up, blood urine, kidney, liver etc etc etc.
i had some heart arythmia( i do not know how to say it in english) which the doctors did not seem to be serious dangerous or even to have caused the faint
what did cause it, was a huge stomach problem( nearly bleeding in the stomach) and since i could not tolerate the pain i fainted
the cause of all this was combination of strees,bad eating( starving) habits, overworking and pills\
however, the docs blamed my endo for prescribing diane 35 to me.
the toxic enviroment in my stomach, was cause 70 % by taking HIGH doses of this pill.and 30% from stress
i will go back to hrt in about 3 weeks.now i am on patch
but my lesson should be a lesson to everyone.
do not say it wont happen to me
i was warned by this forum about diane35 but i ignored the warning.i was warned about starving my self but did not care
i was warned about overworking, but i needed the money.
life is short.and is precious.we better take care of our selves
thank you for being here

Well no danger of me taking anything called Diana35, I am assuming thats an estrogen.

Oh dear:

Your endo will have to explain themselves why they prescribed you an oral contraceptive with a little something extra for acne.
That's what Diane-35 is.
It's not an effective HRT regimen.

Quote from: http://www.diane35.com/html/index.htmlThe contraceptive choice for clearer and more beautiful skin

Is acne spoiling the years of your life when you should be enjoying the way you are growing and maturing into a woman? Do you need a reliable contraceptive Pill?
With Diane-35®, you have the unique combined benefit of contraception and anti-acne treatment. This two-in-one solutions package solves two of your concerns at one go.

as i was told, diane 35 when taken more for long time and 3-4 times per day it causes to toxicity in the stomach, (it is also written as side effects inside the pill's instruction)
now i am switched to estradiol valerate

also i was told that ethinyl estradiol is harder than estradiol for the liver, and the compination pf ethinyl with cyproterone is not for such long use(more than one year)

Im really glad your okay now Deniz

I had heard before of bad reports on diane 35 and this only helps confirm them i guess.

How are you taking your estradiol valerate btw? i can heartily recommend that one too :) ive never experienced anything obverse off it to date.
