What do my symtoms mean?
I am a white 24 yr. old female; 5.8', 207 lbs., married w/ no children. I am allergic to pcn. I am taking Depo Perva injection, Zyrtec-D qhs, Fluticasone 16GM bid (generic for Flonase,) Nitrofurantion100MG qhs (generic for Macrodantin,) & Ibuprofen 200MG as needed for inflammation.I have been experiencing almost constant swelling of my hands accompanied w/ an intermittent tingling sensation. I have frequent urination, extreme thirst, & bloating. I seem to be exhausted 90% of the time. I also have lots of varicose veins in both my legs. I have a family history of hyperthyroid... should I be concerned? Is this simply a possible side effect to my birth control?

Frequent urination, extreme thirst and bloating are signs of diabetes. I agree with Sally - you need to get checked.
Your symptoms don't seem to indicate hyperthyroid, but they could point to diabetes. You need to talk to your doctor and you need testing to make sure all is ok.
Birthcontrol can cause some symptoms, but yours do not sound common from BC. I really think that you should be going to your doctor with your concerns and getting properly checked out.
Hope this helps.
