Anyone who suffers from M.E/CFS and is on the contraceptive pill?

I have M.E./CFS. I've had the condition since I was 18 and I'm now 33. I am in a new relationship and would like to find out other sufferers experiences/advice re. birth control and any effects that taking the Pill had on their condition? All help gratefully received. Serious responses please. Thanking you. :)

hiya, i also have cfs and had no problems being on the pill. I changed my pill 3 times until i found the one that suited me best (the others gave me sore heads.) but other that that i was fine, it's just trial and error for any-one taking the pill

Hope this helps
