Ok ladies. I am a legal receptionist for medical malpractice attorneys. I have been using my “connections” to see what I can find out. How many of us have problems unrelated to bone density/osteoperosis? We need to figure it out so we can see if we have a case. Apparently, there was litigation about bone loss and osteoperosis several years ago, so cases pertaining to that are pretty much done with… But the link between Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and other hormonal issues hasn’t been tried and I think we have a pretty strong case, especially if there are several of us. A legal assistant who has provided information is:

Let’s band together and get this information out there!!

I’m 31 and I was on depo from about 2002-Jan 2010 (last month) Over the years I have had weight gain, loss of sex drive, and developed Hashimotos Thyroiditus (hypothyroid). My dr took me off of it mainly because of the weight gain. I was never advised to have a bone density scan, but after reading these comments, I think I should have one done. I asked my dr if there were any side effects from coming off the shot, after reading some stories I found online, and he told me he’d never heard of any side effects, accept for possible problem with getting pregnant, which I was ok with, since my husband and I don’t want children. I’ve been dealing with my thyroid problem for a couple years now, and neither my primary care dr, my gyno or endo told me it could be because of the depo. When I first when on depo (age 24) I loved hearing that I wouldn’t get my period, i wish I would have been more mature and asked questions about side effects.

So i sent an email to Bill O’Reilly on the O’Reilly Factor on Fox News. I’m huge fan and he is Americas watchdog, so maybe he will give a voice to us. I included the link to this site and im going to keep on until somebody listens to us, like most on here, i would just like to be able to get help with my medical issues and hopefully correct some problems without owing the er thousands of dollars, which i do now because of my problems from the depo. I would also like Depo to be banned and people aware of how the doctors and pharmaceutical companies have ruined our lives and seem to not care. God Bless ladies and i hope for all of our sake somebody helps us

I’m so sad reading all these stories, and im sorry to each and every one of you. Here is my story…I got the depo shot after i had my daughter in 2004. I was 18 years old, and only planned on being on it a year because i wanted another baby. I was doin ok until my last shot in August ‘05, they had switched suppliers and made me wait there for 20 minutes to make sure i didnt have a reaction. I was fine until the next day and i woke up and was having an anxiety attack ( I had no clue what it was at the time). I called the doctors office and told the receptionist my problem and she said it sounded like an upper respiratory problem and that there was no way it had anything to do with the depo shot. I ended up in the er two or three times because of it and they wanted to put me on Xanax but i was still breastfeeding so they couldn’t, and the problems just continued from there. Stomach pains that i was convinced was appendicitis because it hurt so bad multiple times had me in the er getting multiple xrays, vaginal ultrasounds, blood tests and all i’ve been told is they cant see anything wrong with me. Around the same time i was on the shot and to this date, its actually gotten worse, i have pain, in my left ovary region almost all the time. I get maybe two periods a year, and the last time i actually had three in a row I became pregnant and i was ecstatic, I had a miscarriage. The sadness and loss from that still hurts so much. And now i have fibromyalgia- and i’m 24 years old. The fibromyalgia hasn’t been diagnosed yet because i dont have health insurance- but i know i have it. Im so sick of these problems and reading all of your stories has had me here balling, and i dont understand how they can use us as guinea pigs and ruin our lives and not have to pay. I have a very close friend who has osteoporosis from the depo shot and having other major medical issues right now. I want justice and to save any other women out there from going through this. God bless and i’m on a mission now and anything i can do to get our stories out there i’m going to try. Anyone else with information or wanting some can email me. ambers719@msn.com
