Hello Michelle,

I began Depo on 1993 until 2004. It was great. No periods, no pregnancy (i was pregnant twice with controls pills). i took 25 pounds while i was on Depo, so not a lot of stress... (for a 5'10" tall!)
like me you didn't have problems until recently...
In 2000, i said to me doctor (whom give the injection) that my mother is suffering of osteoporosis, his face changed! He gave me the test for the bon less density, that i received a good result then... i was relax.
Around 1998 , began a lot of headaches.. but i,m working a lot and on a computer too! Troobles with my eyes too. i dislike the artificial light. No mather on the doctors, iM ok they said. So i took a lot of tylenols or my new miracle: Ibuprofen. In 2004, at my work, i lost my balance (dizzy) and fell down on a big printer,i was not able to see clearly. Some co-worwers be afraid, the took me to the hospital, i was 33. I had a scan, resonance and all exams. They found a lot of cerebrals lesions - d to the thousands of headaches - and a beginning of epilepsia!!! The neurologist said: Stop the shot, we don't know that enough to be sure that it's not the problem. The last shot was in nov 2004, i lost nothing (weight) during 2005. i began loosing weight in the summer of 2006 (so almost 2 years after stop), i'm around 15 pounds lost right now (without exercices or diet) . I'm amazing that doctors have no more knowledges about hormones!!! in March 2005 , this same neurologist said that i could return back on Depo, if i want!!!! i said "remember, you told me to stop!" D to my headache history i can't return back on oestrogen too!!! This stuff could be a poison because i had a strong health before and now i have to pay attention each day. i think that poison we use around 12 years could not desapear in 1 year , if it make 5 years to get the problems (headache, dizzy, sleeping troobles, and low sex desire) , we have to be patient to repaire! During 2005 i had difficulties with circulation, no sensation in my feet and my hands, blood analysis shown hemoglobine = 5X a normal person but i'm ok , Doctors said! last year i began periods, first time since 12 years, and after i couple of months i felt better...strange coincidence, don't you?
THis summer i saw my gynaecologist and i asked for Depo (just to see) and he purposed me instead a sterilet!!! My feeling is they knows something but are not "welling" to say the truth. I'm agree to see that i'm not alone in this case and i'm sure you will loose the extra pounds too like me.

Take Care,
Judy
