    I got my first shot yesterday and was honestly really scared from the reviews I read on here but it was actually not bad at all. Doesn't hurt anymore than an tetanus shot. I woke up with a minor headache this morning but that was it. Get the shot if your doctor suggests it would benefit you.

    My daughter has received 2 of the three shots. Since her second shot, 3 months ago, she has not had a period. She's gained 10+ pounds, has cramping, back pain and nausea. She is not getting the last shot. Her dr says a missed period would not be caused by this shot. Clearly, his is wrong!

I stopped fainting everyday when they prescribed me Metoprolol and Midodrine, but still fainted occasionall ... Show Full Comment
