THIS IS WHAT YAZ HAS DONE TO ME:

I developed what I thought was ulcers, went to my GP he also thought its ulcers, I was vomiting with cramps that would last up to 2 hours or three at a go (these were episodic and very painful). Soon after this I started developing edema in my left foot, this edema was so bad, on some days I used to limp, again no doctor could explain this. I went to a lymph system specialist, he saw nothing, told me to lose weight, what he did notice was that I had inactive gall stones, in my gall bladder which show that these stones were once active , which was confirmation that I did not have ulcers it was gallstones . At this point I still could not link any of this to the pill.
I started losing hair and had to cut my hair, I thought it was because of the type of hairstyle I had at the time and did not question this.
Sometimes when I eat I would get nauseous at any point of the day.
In December/January this year I went on a diet and certain tests were carried out (through all this I still had a problem with edema in my foot which no doctor could explain to me what the cause was) The dietician picked up that my liver enzymes were very elevated, when I asked her what could be the cause she gave me some answer which at the time made sense, I started taking liver supplements.
About 3 weeks ago I fell off the bed during the night, felt dizzy and started vomiting a yellow, bitter substance.
My nose started giving me seriosus problems, it was permanently blocked no matter what I did, it turns out I had upper respiratory infection caused by Yaz.
My stomach became so big I had people asking me if I’m pregnant, I thought I am just gaining weight that is why I tried to do something about it, but I think it due to what was happening in my liver.
My cousin who was 30 years old recently died of a heart attack and she was also on Yaz, this is how I started doing my research. I immediately stopped taking the pill and my foot is trying to recover.

I am now living with serious anxiety waiting for my Liver Functioning tests.
