I read with interest the posts on bad experiences with Depoprovera. I was

wondering what contraceptives (apart from abstinence!) you have had good

experiences with. So many pills seem to come with a horrendous range of side

effects. I don't know what variety of CMT I have (not CMT1A but otherwise

unknown) but it gets worse when I'm pre menstrual, I'm so shaky on my feet I

cant afford to put on weight or for it to get any worse.

I know that everyone is diffferent but all anecdotes gratefully received.

kind regards

Fiona:

I'm on the Mirana IUD. I've been on it since last September. I only had some

menstual pain in the beginning, maybe for a week tops. In the past two months I

have felt a couple of cycsts popping. I had a transviginal to confirm this.

Other than that, I've had no musculer or nerve issues in my legs. My OB swears

that this is the best contraceptive out there for woman.

Fiona,

I was on the Ortho Evra birth control patch for 5 years. I stopped taking it in

December. There were no side effects that seemed detrimental and It was so easy

to use.

Fiona,

Mirana IUD uses Progesterone so I had mine removed! Progesterone is not on the

drug alert list for CMTers but if they think progesterone blocking drugs may

help CMT, then maybe adding more Progesterone to our bodies may be a bad idea. I

just don't think its worth the risk. I'd go with a non-hormonal approach. There

are copper IUDs that do not use hormones.

I had luck with the scientific way of rthyme. It is

Also known as basal metabolic temp- I learned it in

College from the health center. Loved it!
