ANybody have unexplained health issues and been on the depoprovera shot?

I'm sick of it. I was sent 1 year ago to an endocronologist and was diagnosed with PCOS. Funny how I had no problems before this shot because AF came exactly by the hour. Now I'm having hormonal problems and they send me to other specialists. This past year has been exhausting and unreal.

I asked, as soon as I got there, if it was the shot. I was told NO WAY!!! Now I've been doing more research and finding out there are many more women out there going through what I am! I was fine before the shot.

Now my hormones are doing all crazy things, they say I have PCOS, and my prolactin is insane. They keep sending me for brain MRI because they swear I have a brain tumor. Is anybody else going through this? I'm also going through such mood swings it's insane.

Your unexplained health issues are hormonal? Because PCOS will cause that. I dont think you could get PCOS from deporvera..no...

Im assuming you had stopped taking it?

Well, all the people that I know that have PCOS had problems earlier in life. Their diagnosis made sense because they've been having problems since their teens. I had no signs until a little over a year ago. (I'm now on my last shot after 2 years on it)

(Warning: Very libral family mentioned)My parents arranged for me to get the shot as a graduation gift from high school, before I went to college! I never thought that my problems were related, however now that you mention it, it's worth looking into. Thanks !
