Hi, @karina77 - you may have noticed I moved your post to this existing discussion you were participating in on the topic of birth control in the Women's Health group. I did this so that all the information you collect on this topic is in one place and so you can keep discussing with the same members.

Some of the members you've been speaking with here may have some input on how to handle the situation where your doctor suggests birth control would help lessen your increased chronic fatigue syndrome and orthostatic intolerance symptoms at menstruation, yet your mom would approve it and your dad would not. I'd also like to invite @webdog @kellye5 @susangs @oregongirl @sita into this conversation for their thoughts.

What I'd suggest, @karina77, is to talk with your doctor or the nursing staff in his or her office about your questions on whether one can get birth control without it showing up on bills or insurance, as well as your question on the best kind of birth control for lessening the symptoms of your CFS and orthostatic intolerance.

What does your mom suggest as far as how to proceed, @karina77?
