Trials and tribulations of a Yorkshire pudding

[Jaquaia]

I don't think my GP would be willing to touch my meds but I can bring up the issue when I next see him.

[Suzi]

There may be something different? What about the pill?

Jaq I used to suffer terribly from mood swings before and even during my totm. I mentioned it to my GP and she had a look at my meds. She suggested the pill, but it gave me migraine when I was on it before. So she suggested a coil. It has helped enormously. I'm not saying the mood swings are completely gone, but they are certainly much, much less than they were before. Also the coil has made my very heavy periods much lighter than they were. And it doesn't interfere with my meds.
It's not for everyone. But do a bit of research, it just might help. I was very weary at first but really it has helped.

I've been told a few times that they won't prescribe me the pill because of my weight as I don't need to prevent pregnancy. I will talk to my gp when I go.

[Paula]

Have you had that conversation since you lost the weight?

[Jaquaia]

I can't remember. I think the gp did mention it earlier in the year/late last year when they called me in to discuss my blood results

[Mira]

I remember when I was with my ex in the hospital they also talked about taking the pill. If only to level the balance and make the moods less heavy.

[Suzi]

Go, talk to them - the worst they can say is that they'll do nothing... At best you can get some help.

[Paula]

You sound reluctant to have the pill, are you?

[Jaquaia]

A little. I was on it as a teen because of some medication I was on and I put on weight.
