Hope Im on the right board

[kmchugh]

I have been having some health issues and not sure if this is the right board or not but I'll give it a try. I am 18 years old and recently have had the following health issues. I have gained 15 pounds in 2 months, broke out in a rash all over my body, have and some swelling everywhere and have had kidney pains ( I do have kidney stones). I have been to the dr. and they don't seem to care or know. Told me the kidney stones have nothing to do with the other issues. I just feel that my body is trying to tell me something but I don't know what. I am on the Yaz birth control pill. Could it be hormones? Just trying to get some ideas. I do have a appt. with my womens health dr. soon. thank you

If these symptoms are all new since starting the BC pill then I would think you need to change BC pills or just stop them(if you can)and see if the symptoms go away.
