Birth control
Hi ladies, Just a question:
Has anyone who’s taken the birth control “Jolessa” experience joint pain? Or an other symptoms?
Here’s the back story:
I was prescribed the birth control “Yaz”at age 11 (when I started my period) due to severe cyst pain. I was diagnosed with PCOS at that age as well. Fast forward to last year I was experiencing a lot of bleeding for like (two months with extreme clotting). Anyway I consulted my doctor and they just nonchalantly switched me to the birth control called “Jolessa”. I was just recently on it for the remaining 5-6 months. After consulting my doctor again I just stopped and switched back to “yaz” to see if there are any improvements.
It was making me have headaches, pretty bad mood swings, I would cry and have mental breakdowns constantly. Those to which were normal right? It seemed okay because it allows you to only get your period every 3 months. But after waiting 3 months for it to finally kick in and be regularized with my body I noticed the symptoms I was having. After starting the birth control I was running, and after that I’ve been in pain since July 2018 and am currently going to physical therapy to help. Just wondering if anyone had any joint pain.
