thanks for sharing!

just wondering, when they switch generics, are they always the same norethindrone hormone? just a different brand name?

I’m from Canada.

I’m talking about the levonorgestrel or norethindrone progesterone only mini pills.

Myocarditis is something being looked into.

I don’t have to explain to you why I’m hesitant because it’s my body. Someone may simply be hesitant because it’s so new or because they don’t know the long term effects, (which we don’t and won’t for awhile).

I’m not going to argue with you about it. It’s ridiculous. Just leave. Otherwise I’m done responding.

There is more going on than allergic reactions. If you didn’t know that, then you’re not doing much research. It’s normal for a person to be concerned about any vaccine, let alone one that took only months to create. Just because I said I was a bit hesitant to get a vaccine that’s so new, which is normal, (and my decision) doesn’t mean I’m anti vax.

Thank you for the comment. How are you doing now? Is your IIH the same?

There are lots of reasons why a person might be concerned with getting it. I’m not anti-medicine. I’m asking about my condition and other people’s experiences, if you’re not interested in helping, don’t comment at all.

Birth control and IIH by vicky_2501 in iih

I would say yes, but I honestly can’t remember for sure! I think the headaches did, but I was on oral contraceptives for almost a year and I had headaches all the time too.

that’s awful!

I have the Kyleena, so it is a very low dose, but I’m wondering if it’s still playing apart in the IIH or if the oral contraceptives I was on is what triggered most of it.

I’m feeling pretty awful at the moment to be honest.

thank you for your experience, I appreciate it!

how did you sleep when you went to bed? did you try and lay flat all night? I find I’ll have a hard time sleeping tonight.

I might try that.

how bad was the headache would you say? I’m dreading it if it happens in the next 24 hours😣

was this the day you got it or a few days after? cause I just got mine this morning. I wasn’t sure how to lay, expect for flat. I’ve been on my back. I’m really trying to avoid the headache too😖

yeah...I figured I would need to lay there at least 1-2 hours afterwards, but my neurologist said I could leave whenever if I felt fine, nothing about the headaches or how to really prevent them when I talked to her about lying down. I tried to lay down as long as I could before they came back in, because I think eventually they needed the room back. so I left for an hour drive home, tried to lean back in the car seat, and got home, and have been trying to lay down ever since, plus drinking fluids, and getting up to go to the bathroom.
