Freaking out💔

I got my Mirena on the 30. Of September and was feeling just fine (besides cramps) mentally the first days.
Now I am a wreck… I am anxious about the future, the now and the past. I feel dizzy and irritable. Something is just OFF and I do not feel like myself.
I am usually never the sort of person with a short temper but I now I suddenly am!
+ insomnia and cravings for sugar

Should I get it removed? I m freaking out to have this foreign thing in my body I just want it out Like now.
I can’t explain the sudden decline in my mental state based on anything else than the iud.

😭😭😭😭

Help I’m dizzy again

Has anybody with vm taken mounjaro? I’ve been on it for two months.
My dizziness has been horrible the last couple of weeks and I’m afraid it’s because of that.
I also stopped topiramate so could be that as well.
Just don’t know what’s causing my worsening symptoms

Flare ups

Hi! Do you guys still get flare ups in periods of high stress even if you are on medication that usually works?
I’m so panicky because I’ve been really dizzy the past couple of days and I’ve been fine all summer on the medication I’m on now. So I don’t get what’s happening.

Sick of it!

Everytime I look at something spinning, walk on something uneven or bouncy, shower, or sit on something wobbly IT triggers dizziness (inner rocking)
I hate it, and it happens even if I had zero symptoms to begin with. I have to take Bethahistine to calm the dizzy feeling and nausea.
Makes me overly aware of everything.
Anybody relates ?

Ground moving

Hey 🫶🏻(27f)
I’ve had VM for a while and when it was bad it was seriously bad. It lasted for a couple of years because nobody could diagnose me correctly or provide me with the right meds. Met my lifesaver aka my neurologist three years ago and after testing a bunch of meds I slowly got better. One of my worst symptoms back then was the feeling of sinking into the ground/ floor moving under my feet. It was horrendous. I know that sadly a lot of you in this group are familiar with that symptom.

Ive made some changes in my medicines lately, some up some lowered. I’m finally after years in a place where I’m not suffering with dizziness everyday but mostly around my cycle. (That is not the case right now). Today I suddenly got super anxious, got neck pain and pressure on top of my head and nausea. Then the sinking into the floor - I haven’t felt that I forever. It feels like ptsd to feel it again. I’m so so scared of it not going away again. I was finally getting better.

Could this mean that my meds are not enough anymore? I still have never tried Effexor or propanolol.
I threw up yesterday … maybe I’m just having a huge migraine attack and it will pass soon?
I’m really scared

I’m on depakine chrono 500, sertraline 100mg, mounjaro 5mg just upped my dose Tuesday. Tappered out of topiramate over the last couple of months, last dose was two weeks ago.
and Bethahistine and rizatriptan if necessary

Looking for help and guidance 🩷

Hello,
I hope that it’s ok for me to post a question on here before having a definitive diagnostic. But I need help and guidance.

I’m 27 and I i have been having this horrible stabbing pain on my left side since mid-may. Every symptom I have is exclusively on my left side (down around left ovary but the pain shoots out into my hip and back as well - also only left side). I have had the worst summer ever while visiting my parents abroad. Endless ER trips, bloodwork, gyno visits, ultrasounds and finally a CT. But I can’t seem to get help with pain management and to find the source for this excruciating pain. It’s not a urology issue nor a digestive issue or twisting of the ovary. I’m losing my mind. We are in August now. I spend most days laying down on pain meds. If I move around it feels like someone is stabbing me in the ovary. The stabby feeling comes in waves.
I’ve had two smalls cysts on my left ovary around two different times in may. That left liquid and blod in my belly - but it’s been months. The ct shows that there still is liquid remaining around Douglas.

I’m seing a new gyno Monday but I’m nervous about not being taken serious again. The hospital has mentioned the possibility of endo. This is all new to me.
Could this sound like endo pain? I have never struggled with this type of pain before and now it’s been nonstop since mid may.

Thanks in advance 🩷🫶🏻
I really needed to ask some humans on here instead of seeking nonexistent confort or help in AI or a busy doctor.

Tension on top of head

Hey🩷 I’ve had classic aura migraines since the age of 12. But in 2021 I was in an accident and got a bad concussion. That turned my “simple migraines” into really horrible and life altering vestibular migraines.
I’m doing better on medication today but I still sometimes find some symptoms hard to understand and if they are even related to my migraines.

My question:
Does anybody else get neck pain and extreme pressure/tension on top of head - like all over my skull. I feel like the top of my head is heavier. I’m on my period right now so a flare up would make total sense. My migraines and hormonal shifts go hand in hand.

Thanks 🫶🏻

Summer from hell

I had two very painful ovarian cysts ruptures back to back during the month of may and June. I can still feel pain on my left ovary from time to time.
Then I started getting uti symptoms in June and had two cures of monuril during af week (a powder antibiotic). It helped a little bit the uti came back so I had to to the ER and got prescribed Bactrim for it. That did nothing at all.
Last week I got this terrible pain in my back and side and went straight to the ER again. Was scanned for cysts but nothing was there. The urin test was positive AGAIN. I am now on this antibiotic called nitrofurantoin on day Four out of seven. I am still having symptoms???
The pain in my back is gone so it must be doing something. But I have this lingering feeling of discomfort down there that is driving me nuts. When I Per i immediately feel like a I have to go again after. It’s less but it’s still there. It just feel irritated and I’m so so sick of it. Does this mean that I will have to try ANOTHER antibiotic? I’m taking d-mannose and cranberry supplements as well.
The feeling is driving me insane and I really need some relief.
Has anobody tried this?

Nitrofurantoin dizzy??

Guys i took my first dose yesterday and I’m feeling so so dizzy. The dizziness / rocking sensation started 15 mins after when laying in bed trying to sleep. I have taken 3 pills since. I’m so dizzy that i can’t do anything. I’m on 3xpilks a day for a bad UTI. I have really bad vestibular migraines and I’m well and medicated and this feels so so different.
Has anyone tried this side effect?

Random question

I’ve just been prescribed mounjaro because of insulin/pcos issues and constant inflammation seen on blood test.
I have severe VM and am taking depakote chrono and topamax for it. Depakote has made me gain a lot of weight.
My question is; has anybody randomly had medicine like mounjaro / ozempic help with their VM? I hear it’s a miracle drug so just wondering. Not getting my hopes up though. It was not prescribed with that intent but for all around health. I’m 27 (f) 174cm and 80kg.

Help:((

Can you stop taking the mini pill from one day to another if it’s making you depressed and triggers ideation (never have had this before)? It’s really scaring me and I just don’t want to keep taking them. Not worth my mental health. I’ve been on them for 3 weeks. I’ve been at my worst mentally during my period.

Help?

Is it weird to have already stopped bleeding completely during the first month on the mini pill (gestagen 75)?
My doctor warned me about spotting but I’m on what should have been day four of my period and nothing!
I’m having some pretty bad anxiety during this period also (has not been an issue the rest of the month)

Nacrez Mini pill

Yo! I started nacrez (like cerazette) mini progastagen pill 2 weeks ago. I started in the middle of my cycle because of an ovarian cyst. My period was supposed to start two days ago but nothing has happened. I have never been on birth control before - is it normal to already have no periods? I’m usually on the dot.
Hope you can guide me

Sudden night sweats

Hey! I have been on 100mg for over a year and I have never had issues with night sweats but the past week I’m waking from the most vivid dreams up drenched in sweat. I live in Denmark so it’s not because of the warm weather and I’m not sick. Can a side effect appear so long into the process?
