I shared my experience regarding Junel FE because it was what I went through when taking this birth control. Everyone's reaction is going to be different because no two people are the same. I do have a child, plus I had my Gallbladder removed 5 months after my c-section. In addition, I had a complicated pregnancy, the ob/gyn who I normally see was busy and I ended up with one of his assistant's who was not my scheduled ob/gyn and did not know medical history nor seemed concerned when being in...

I was nervous to get the Mirena because I typically do not do well with any dose of hormones. The only birth control method that has worked for me in the past is the Paragard but unfortunately after about 6 months, my body rejected it. I absolutely love the Mirena and plan to use it until I am ready to get pregnant. I am 25 and have never had children. Despite all the negative reviews and horror stories about the insertion process, I chose to get an IUD. I had initially chosen the Paragard bu... View full comment

My doctor tried to raise my dosage as lab results indicated that I am not getting enough, however when she did I began to have dizzy spells, a feeling that I was being choked and a feeling that I was having heart problems. I almost went to the ER until I realized what was probably happening. When I stopped taking that dosage I began to feel better and ultimately all the symptoms went away except for not being able to control my weight. I am on the original dosage of .125. She had tried to rai... View full comment

Metformin worked well without significant side effects. It was good at controlling blood sugars without causing drops in blood sugars.

Instead of making me drowsy and tired, it makes me jittery and I can't sleep. It just makes me more aware of the discomfort I am experiencing.

Insulin injections a really effective for my diabetes. But if I overtake it, for example when I skip one dose and I have to take the double the next time, it makes me feel extremely weak. I usually experience the side effects when I miss injections Once I almost entered into a coma, but I rushed for some sweet drinks and juice. When I experience limb pain, it is usually a sign for me that my blood sugar is elevated, and at those times i take an extra- injection. But the drug is efficient ov... View full comment
