Now it makes sense!
I have been having the depo shot for about 3 years now. The summer before that I tried the LC way of life. I didn't know what I was doing, but I lost quite a bit of weight anyway. I saw a show on dateline or something that talked about it, and read an article in a magazine. I took the tips and ran with them.
Anyway, soon after I met my now ex boyfriend. I started taking the depo and the weight just piled on. I dug through my medicine cabinet and what do you know? I started the depo in November, and my migraine meds begin in January of the following year. I had a CAT scan that March.
Although I cannot blame all my problems on the depo, I can't help but wonder. I started taking anti-depressants almost two years ago, and my libido is reaaaallllly low. I did notice that almost immediately after beginning the shot, but fortunately, my ex b/f was understanding. I know the anti's will do that too, but the combo may be too much for me.
Now that I have started lcing, my headaches have increased to the point where I would cry if I could, but it hurts too much. And they are constant!!! My next shot is due next month. I have no reason to continue, so I will see what happens if i skip it. I know this WOL works, but sometimes it seems like the pain is not worth the reward. I may look better physically, but I feel terrible mentally!!!!
Anyway, thanks for the insight! I had not connected the depo previously. Check out the discussion Doreen mentions!
