Nice to meet you and welcome back! It sounds like you have been through
a lot! We had a discussion in here a few postings back about Yasmin. Did
your doctor say anything about it increasing your potassium levels? Do
you have to go for any blood work to monitor it? I was just wondering.
The website says that it can increase potassium with normal use. I was
thinking that it may be bad for continuous use. I don't know. Its one
of the last pills I think that I haven't taken. Let me know!! I wish
you well in 2006.
