QuestionI'm 17 years old and have horrible cramps. I always miss 1-2 days of school and/or work. I get dizzy, vomit, have diarrhea , horrible back cramps, and bad swelling. The bathroom floor and extremely hot bath tub is where I reside for those days. I have tried all OTC drugs, bath salts, ointments, (pms butter). I finally have a Dr. Appointment what type of product would work the best based on my symptoms?

AnswerHello..
I replied back from you on Nov. 11 and now it's the 22. Please let me know if you received the following email.
Hi Adriana,
First of all, I'm not a doctor so please consult with your personal physician. Oh, I see that you have an appointment coming up. I would not recommend the pill to regulate your period, but that is what some suggest. I'll put some info about the pill below. Please read it and email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com to let me know what you think. I had some of the same problems when I was younger but not that drastic. So I feel for you. Hope to hear from you soon.

Here is some information about the pill because I want you to know the
side effects and how it works. How long have you been taking the pill?
I want to warn you on some of the risks of the pill.
<Progestins and the estrogen in the pill are artificial hormones that
make your body believe that it is pregnant month after month. All the
vital organs in your body are affected by the constant use of the pill.
It contains powerful steroids and artificial hormones.
This constant presence of powerful steroids is not healthy, and there
are side effects when using the pill. Here are the ways the pill can
work.
1. It can prevent ovulation (releasing an egg from the ovary)
2. It can cause the mucus in the cervix to change so that if sperm
reach the cervix, they are not allowed to enter, and
3. It can irritate the lining of the uterus so that if the first two
actions fail, and you do become pregnant, your body will reject the
fetus (baby) and he or she will die.
It's called a chemical abortion.
Here are some of the side effects of the pill:
-bacterial infections (because the pill weakens the immune system.)
-more susceptible to the AIDS virus (HIV) because the pill weakens the
immune system
-pelvic inflammatory disease-an infection of the fallopian tubes that
can cause sickness or sterility
-infertility-unable to ever bear children
-ectopic pregnancy
-shrinking of the womb (endometrial atrophy)
-mood swings and depression
-breast cancer
-blood clots
-birth defects in children conceived while women are on the pill
-tender breasts
-stroke
-cervical cancer
-weight gain >
