That Depo-Provera shot (which is taken I think something like every 3 months) gave me horrific side effects. Its common side effect is to make women STOP having periods (which would have been welcome). But instead, after getting a SINGLE shot (with a supposed 3-month longevity), I bled vaginally EVERY DAY FOR A YEAR - and often in large amounts too!
That ONE shot led to so much prolonged, profuse bleeding, it induced anemia and caused a slew of all kinds of grueling health problems that went on for beyond a year. I never went anywhere near that stuff again and warned every woman I knew not to ever take that shot.
I need pharmaceutical meds are bad business and stayed away as much as I can. Only exception was Aleve with headache. I have never been able to figure that one out until recently.
I’m leery of any meds at this point - Rx and OTC. I go for natural remedies and supplements whenever possible. And I stay away from doctors for the most part, unless it’s a chiropractor (non-invasive treatment without cutting or Rx involved), or if it’s an actual emergency / injury, or needing dental care. I hate electronic health records tracking people like cattle. It’s just evil!
Thanks. Nothing compared to what YOU’VE been thru though. That Depo-Provera stuff should definitely be taken off the market if it’s still out there. :-(
Saw a billboard in the city recently asking for people who have gotten brain tumors after using depo provera, and wondered about how many suffered with that. 25% is insane, and lawsuits for money are not enough. Personal criminal liability needs to be pursued. I can't even imagine how bad it was for those who took this shot plus COVID injections. Nightmare.
I got it once after I couldn’t take birth control pill because of migraines. I was so angry all the time! It totally changed my personality. The littlest thing like dirty clothes were left on the floor I felt like I could strangle my husband. That’s not me at all. After thirty seven years together we might have had five big arguments. I became impatient with my toddler daughter also. Thankfully it was only three months, I didn’t have major life threatening side effects & my husband recognized it wasn’t my normal behavior. I wish I had known about detoxing way back then. After that no more birth control for me.
Thanks😊 Hope you are as well. We probably won’t ever know the truth about the long term effects of manmade medicines. I truly believe most of the chronic pain syndromes I have are from a vaccine, food or medicines. I got the flu shot several years in my early twenties. After getting the flu and was sick for over a week I decided I was done with them. It’s one of the major reasons I changed to eating carnivore diet.
Absolutely! All my life I’ve eaten very bad. I was raised on home cooked meals & vegetables from the garden both by my grandparents. My mom introduced us to Pepsi, frozen & processed food, for convenience. I don’t eat that now other than occasional I get a small chocolate bar. There’s different versions it’s what works for you. I think I’m going to cut out milk & cheese, I’ve been at same weight several months. Also I’ve gotta get moving.

Good for you. So smart.
That’s awful! I’m glad you got through it. That stuff is awful. I think it’s still on the market, not sure. I remember seeing ads a few years ago.

I think you got me beat on the bad side effects. I don’t miss monthly’s! I can’t imagine 3 months straight. That’s awful.
Not 3 straight months of menstrual bleeding from a single Depo-Provera shot. It lasted a whole YEAR for me! :-O

Pharma are killers.

Glad you are safe.

It's food as medicine. Eat correctly and you should be good.

They always said eat from the outer edge of the store. I love to eat so I cook them. Once a while, a rotisserie chicken.
