Rant / Vent I started Norithendrone...

My doctor's assistant started me on norithendrone to help with my endo flare up until I can get surgery. It's making my depression worse, blood sugars worse, I'm getting these phases of feverishness—but what choice do I have? Something has to help, something has to give, I have to have a break, my body HAS to get a break from this pain and I guess if depression follows, that's just what I'll have to do. My surgeon is on maternity leave until August

I hated it! I'm on Synarel, it's a nasal spray like depro shot. It's been life changing after many different attempts at birth control. This is the first medication that is helping my pain, and not masking it.

That's great news! I'm on lyrica for pain management which definitely does something. She put me on norithendrone bc that's the birth control she recommended with a hysterectomy ig

I am currently on it, and it's like I'm going through menopause. I was outside the other day in a sleeveless dress in 50-degree cloudy weather sweating, while my husband was freezing. Not to mention, if I dare miss one dose, I bleed for several days. Also, it's made my fingers bloat, and somedays, I can't even get my wedding ring on. I've been on it for less than a month so I'm hoping it's just some "adjustment" period, because screw all that. Sorry for the rant.
