>>��>>��I have been on deprovera for almost two years. I never thought my moods or my weight gain had anything to do with the shots until I finally got so upset about my weight gain that I started looking on the net. I have had a lot of tragedy in that time and I also feel numb, no feeling at all, and I'm wondering if my lack of moods is caused by deprovera. Also it seems as if everytime after I get an injection I gain on the average of pounds. At first I bled for a month straight and since then only light spotting when its time for another shot. I wish I had never gone through with the shots. I assume my "personality" will come back when I discontinue the injections but my question is will the weight easily go away after the shots are stopped.
My sister took the shot without knowing what it was for. She seems to have this deranged doctor who doesn't what she's doing. First of all, my sister has a cyst on one of her ovaries, and she is also diabetic. She has always had painful and heavy periods that last forever. It seems this doctor tried for two years to do everything but get rid of the cyst. She tried everything but the obvious to me. (Take the thing out) I mean my sister is 41 and has four kids. It's not like she'll miss her female organs. On Monday April 17,2001 she was hurting bad, as she usually does when she has her period, she the doctor told her to come into the office to let her check her. Anyway, the doctor wasn't even there and had someone else on call for her. They did a couple of tests and the nurse told her that she would give her a shot that would shrink the cyst and stop her period completly. She didn't tell her the side effects of the shot or that it was for birth control. In a couple of weeks my sister's bleeding was even heavier; she was weak and started having chest pains. She went back to the doctor and the doctor ordered blood work done on her and she (my sister) wanted her blood sugar checked and the doctor refused to check it. To make a too long story short my sister ended up in the emergency room and had to be admitted to the hospital with complications from this shot that threw her whole system out of whack. She is thinking of suing the doctor for malpractice.
