This is my second month on Cilest, and it is making me feel rotten. The first few days I was on it I felt so sick and weak I could barely stand up, but I persevered and the symptoms gradually disappeared. But on the pill free days I felt really irritable and low, which only stopped a few days into the next packet, the first few days of which I felt sick again. A few days ago I started getting a horrible pain in my calf, so I stopped taking them as this is one of the reasons it gives for doing so, and meanwhile I managed to convince myself I had thrombosis. However, my skin has been terrible for the past couple of days (I was put on Cilest specifically because it would help my skin) so this afternoon I started taking them again. Big mistake. I felt so awful I actually fainted, which has never happened to me ever before, and which just cannot happen again, as I am here alone with dd. Under these circumstances, is it fair to ask for an emergency appointment tomorrow? I start work in a week and I really want this sorted before then, and I also dont want to be without contraception. I was on Marvelon before this, and never had side effects apart from the odd mood swing. My doctors receptionists are notoriously witchy, so should I tell them the matter is confidential if they push it, or is this kind of thing considered not serious enough? I am sat here feeling so nauseous
