So there's an answer to "Why Me?" after all...

I've been on the same birth control for years now, with the exception of a few short stints and efforts at different brands. I realize this intro could mark the beginning of a very personal post, but allow me assure you, the fact that I'm on birth control is about as intimate as this post will get.

Yaz has caught a lot of media scrutiny regarding its marketing tactics, but it wasn't until recently that I learned Yaz is very closely affiliated with blood clots, heart attack, stroke, and GALLBLADDER DAMAGE RESULTING IN SURGICAL REMOVAL.

I, of course, learned of these symptoms on a commercial advertising a massive class action lawsuit. And me, being someone that would never pass up the opportunity to be a beneficiary of the legal system, dialed the 800 number.

There's really not much to tell at this point, other than the fact that I'm officially a qualified claimant. They said they are only in the preliminary stages and are still collecting claimants, so it may be years. But if I can get my hands on any money to make up the $2k in out-of-pocket medical expenses and the three weeks that I ended up having to take off work, it will be well worth the wait.
