Yasmin Withdrawal Hell!

Hi, thank you to everyone who has posted on this site. I was a healthy 32 year old who was slim and enjoyed exercise. I had been taking Yaz for about 12 months when my calves started swelling. I came off the drug immediately (six months ago), but since then the swelling has spread to my thighs, arms, forearms and hands. I have gained 10 lbs in 6 months! In this time I have been to my GP so many times. He sent me to see an Immunologist who did countless blood tests, all of which came back negative, including thyroid function. I feel hot all the time, my hands are always swollen and find it difficult to exercise because of the constant muscle aches in my limbs and can't fully bend my knees. I was wondering if any of you would describe the weight gain you experienced as 'swelling' and if you also get all the aches and sensations I'm experiencing? Also, has your weight returned to normal now- how long does it take? Please help. Rebecca
