You're probably right. I see my dad go through the same thing (it's gotten to the point he only goes to the oral surgeon my cousin works for when a tooth needs pulling). I'm at the point where I'm thinking I'll just say the "trigger words" to the ER department to go IP the day before my next injection if new pdoc doesn't take me off. The unit I typically go to usually listens (unless I have a specific doctor that I nicknamed "Noodles" which he took offense to).

As for having no periods, I am opposed to the forms of birth control that cause women not to menstruate. We have periods for a very good reason - to shed the uterine lining, as it needs to be shed, on a regular basis. I firmly believe that the women who are using those methods of birth control will have serious issues with such things as endometriosis and fibroids at mid-life, and problems with a thickened uterine lining - and even a tendency toward uterine cancer. Nature does what it does for a reason.
I agree re the rash.

I've experienced a SEVERE rash all over my face from meds, as it was on my face this was intolerable and scary.

ORAL steroids were prescribed for the rash.

Nature does what it does for a reason, I guess... Nature wants fuzzybear not to take any of the meds she has tried... (apart from one long ago which I eventually became allergic to, a long and sub optimal story related to that which I will not share. I didn't do anything ''wrong'' to cause this to happen.

Sorry about the rant, I feel strongly that a severe rash is nature's way of saying NO to a med.... (food allergies, other allergies, etc also...)

I just wrote a post in this thread saying pretty much the same thing (but deleted it)

I too would resent such a situation

I wouldn't go for the shot
