Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Of Nexplanon
Question: My daughter is 22 y/o and had a Nexplanon implant after which she started with all kind of prblems:
migraines, mouth ulcers, ankle pains, heart palpitations, sun sensitvity and fatigue. Because of a positive ANA ( speckled pattern) she was diagnosed with Lupus and was started on plaquenil. The w/u for Lupus was negative other than the positive ANA. She is also on Spironolactone for Acne. She is also scratching at the procedure site. Since everything started after the nexplanon implant I advised her to have it removed but her doctors told her that I was crazy. What is your advice?
