Acne medication with a side effect of making my period less awful, I will be taking this stuff forever.
I tried 10 years ago my freshman year in college because all of the sudden I had massive cramping. Like the other poster, I was having cold sweats and it was just terrible. My problems were (1) remembering and (2) the bc I was on made me feel like I wanted to throw up within an hour of taking it. It was awful and I quit after 2 months. That did something funky with my cycle, shortening it to every TWO weeks for four times before I got back to normal. Since then I've stayed away from the stuff.

Funny about changing the name. I'd love to get politics far far away from this!!!

withm, thanks for the kick in the pants earlier. I ended up getting out for a two hour bike ride today. Much better than sitting around having a solo pity-party.
