 Holistic Benefits
I've been on Ortho Tri Cyclen lo for most of the last several years. Side effects from that were little to none, and definitely tolerable. Cesia, however, has deprived me of any sex drive whatsoever. And even when I would become engaged in the activity with my husband, it wouldn't work... because I was completely dry. It is frustrating.

I was looking for something that would help take away my heartburn fast, and this seems to work well. A lot of my friends use it as well ( we are within the age range 20-30). It does take time for it to work, but when it does it works well.

Since being on Lantus, I've noticed an increase in arthritic pain and swelling of the knee joints. Some days it's difficult for me to walk I'm in so much pain. My finger joints are now inflammed and adding to the pain I'm already in. I've also gained weight and that angers me after I worked so hard to lose the weight. Lantus does keep my sugars at a normal level but at this point, because of all the pain I'm in, I need to discuss other options with my endocrinologist. My quality of life is... View full comment

Extreme leg muscle fatigue/pain that remained a mystery to my doctors. I went on a diet and began to exercise regularly (cycling), and my legs were burning from the moment I left the driveway until my return (3 miles). It did not change over three months, so I knew it wasn't just that I hadn't exercised for a while. A friend experienced the very same symptoms, quit taking Lipitor, and has recovered from his leg pain. He is controling his cholesterol through diet and exercise and I intend... View full comment
