Guest guest Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Hi Tommie et al, I was wondering when this was going to happen...you just cant let things back up....Menstrual blood has clots in it anyway. And Tommie...I am very sorry for your loss...and her family's. And youre right...docs shouldnt prescribe these things. I bet there will be a class action lawsuit against the pharmaceutical company, and they would deserve to pay out through the wazoo. I will keep you and the family in my prayers. If you need anything, please dont hesitate to ask.

Menstrual Cycle - Very Important send to all your friends. I am sure most of you have a daughter, a granddaughter, a niece, a friend or a friend's daughter......this might be worth checking out. PASS THIS ON EVEN IF YOU DON'T USE IT!! Recently, this past week, my cousin (age 31....a newly graduated student with a doctoral degree about to start her new career as a Doctor...) was flown into a nearby hospital, because she passed out. They found a blood clot in her neck, and immediately took her by helicopter to the ER to operate. By the time they removed the right half of her skull to relieve the pressure on her brain the clot had spread to her brain causing severe damage. Since last Wednesday night, she was fighting for her life. They induced her into a coma to stop the blood flow and then operated 3 times. Finally, they said there was nothing left that they could do. Multiple clots in the left side of her brain were found, the swelling wouldn't stop and she was on the life support. She died at 4:30 yesterday. She leaves behind her husband, a 2 yr old, and a 4 yr old, . The CAUSE of DEATH they found was a birth control she was taking that allows you to only have your period 3 X's a year. Doctors said it interrupts life's menstrual cycle, and although it is FDA approved......it shouldn't be. So to the women in my address book, I ask you to boycott this product and deal with your periods once a month, so you can live the rest of the months that life has in store for you. Please send this to every woman you know - you ma y save someone's life. Remember you have a cycle for a reason. FYI: The name of this new birth control is Lybrel. If you go to http://lybrel.com you will find a least 26 pages of information regarding this drug. The second birth control is Seasonique. If you go to http://seasonique.com you will find at least 43 pages of information regarding this drug. The warning and side effects regarding both pills are horrible. Please forward this to as many daughters AND sons, co-workers, friends and relatives. ~Tommie~ www.myspace.com/tommiejj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Oh I'm sorry if you all thought this happened to someone in my family. It was a warning email that I got and checked out through Snopes before posting it. I wondered too when something like this would happen after hearing of them working on this medicine in research and then it hitting the market. I personally use to take the Depo shots, you'd get one every 3 months, which I think might be the same thing as this. But fortunately I was close to 35 at the time and a smoker so I only got 2 of them and then they wouldn't give them to me anymore. I don't think anyone should get them. No matter what their age or if they smoke or not. This is just terrible. It's so hard to trust the new meds they put out on the market these days, it doesn't seem they get enough testing before the FDA approves them. I always opt for the older meds for treatment. The docs always work for the drug companies and try to push the new stuff, when the old stuff worked just as well and didn't have all the side effects as this new stuff does. ~Tommie~ www.myspace.com/tommiejj PH, CFS, FMS, Diabetes, Sleep Apnea, Restless Leg Syndrome Don't waste energy second-guessing what you're missing or what can go awry. If you put enough energy into doubt, something will undoubtedly go wrong. Instead, focus on the positive possibilities with a hopeful attitude.
