I know the feeling! Standing in shower w/super tampon in...blood and clots still dripping down in the water. It was a mess for a few days. My theory was all that blood was just stitting up there waiting for the "plug" to be removed! lol!! The joint pain took a little longet to resolve. I've only been without joint pain for about the last week. That and the Acne seems to be the slowest side effect to correct. I pretty much have no joint pain now, just an occasional twinge when I sit still for too long, then get up. But even that's improved drastically. It will keep getting better daily and I'm still noticing improvement. However, I'm in regular PMS now since it's time for my first normal period...so that's masking some of my progress this week. At least I know it will end when the blood flows!! Thank goodness!
