Corn meal muffins

No Yaz for me

I was on Levlen ED for around eight years and from the beginning I felt great on it.  Over time though, and definitely in the last few months, I have been getting side effects.  The last few months my time of month has been light, and a severe athymia (no, to  very low, emotions is the best way I can describe in layman's terms) has been experienced in the last month taking it.  I felt completely drugged.

I'll be back soon and write something more but let me leave you with this article on the thyroid.  It encourages women with symptoms including heavy periods to seek help and treatment:

Couple refuse to pay mortgage
