may i ask what kind of disease you have that you think depo cause? my friend was on depo and now she has a bad rash and no one can seem to find out what it even is let alone what caused it maybe i can point her in that direction.... she has it basicly all ove her legs and a few other places and it itches she has had it going on 3 years now and its horrible.... it really lowers her self asteam because she has to cover up completely before going out thought maybe i could help her.... thanx Desiree

I can't remember having had rashes though. I know exactly how she feels having to cover up. I can't be comfortable in shorts or bathing suit b/c of my scars. My self esteem is at an all time low. I thank God for my b/f. He's so understanding. Takes care of me when I'm down. Changes banadages and everything. I don't think any other person out there would do that.
What's her doc say about it?
Jess,
Do you use any artificial sweeteners? This may be totally unrealted but my mom gets boils from aspartame (any artificial sweeteners, diet soda, etc). I'm not sure if it is aspartame alone or aspartame and a medication she is taking, but I know she cant have it anymore.

By the way...I've been meaning to send you a message. You look just like Jennifer Lopez in the pic that's in your messages. Don't know if your a fan of JLo, but I think she's beautiful. :)

ITA!

Just wanted to let you know that if you ever need to talk or anything please email me. It is an awful thing to go through. And even though I have my b/f, I still feel very much alone.
As for it being hereditary...I've already looked into that. Not one person in my family has it. And not one of them understands it. And yes, the pant lines...OUCH!
Anyway, sorry to have this in common. But I'm here if ya need me!!

That goes for you to if you need someone to talk about our common problem. It is a horrible disease that unless they have it they don’t understand it. They might can sympathize but they can not possibly understand fully. And here most doctors look at my crazy when I bring it up. My midwife that is treating my girly problems went and researched it just so she would know what im talking about because she had seen one and tried to tell me it was staph and I had to explain to her it is so much more at least she took the time to listen then research. It is good you boyfriend is caring and understanding it helps so much I never let dh see mine if I can help it but my best friend that I have mentioned now she is the one I turn to she has one of them iron stomachs that nothing seems to bother so if I need help she don’t even flinch. But as you know as bad as the pain is the scars are worst because they never go away but this is something I am sure we will live with for the rest of our lives :( write any time Desiree741@hotmail.com
