TOLD to stop taking Esmya IMMEDIATELY

Hello Warriors

Had an appointment today with a fibroid consultant who told me he was sorry that I had to stop taking Esmya immediately. There have been several cases of users with liver issues taking it and it's under investigation.

Think it helped and only this morning I was worried about what would happen after the three month course ended.

Anyone else have any experiences of Esmya?

did he do the liver test, is that why you have to stop in the middle?

Hiya

No liver test requested, just told to stop taking it. I might ask my GP if I need to as I've had liver function issues before which luckily resolved itself.

Were you on Esmya too?

Oh your poor things, were you on Esmya for long?

Since stopping Esmya I switched to Serrapatease my periods are lighter, the pain has reduced so much I haven't felt this 'good' in years. Still have occasional flare ups but I think that's mood and food related.

Not what you're looking for?
