The BCP's were my only risk factor except the PCOS!
Take the time to talk to your doctor and make a decision you can live with don't just accept the old line this is what you take to allieviate symptoms. There are risks, be an informed consumer!
Good Luck |
I was 33 and on Desogen when I had a stroke. I was in the hospital for over a week, while they ran test after test. They even ran dye in my brain to test for aneurysms. Could find nothing. Blame was totally given to BCP's. Thankfully, I have recovered and have no visible symptoms from the stroke.
I strongly urge no one to take BCP's.
