My 13 year old daughter received her 2nd shot in early June. Within days she was itching everywhere (only a few areas looked like hives around the bikini area). It is now January, and she is still itching everywhere (no hives or rash). They finally put her on prednisone, and it is making it worse. They say this all could be from the vaccine and she should not get the 3rd shot, but "there is no way of knowing." I just called the doctors office because the prednisone is making it worse, and they want her seen again within 24 hours. Anyone else having this problem? She's been allergy tested, and had blood tests-nothing shows up. Any suggestions for further tests?

4 weeks post removal of Mirena. I have a question, and I am gonna try to not be so blunt, but I want to know if anyone else is having the same thing...intercourse and more so "inner" foreplay is a bit uncomfortable/painful, almost like the way it felt when the Mirena was in...anyone else having this problem? I have my yearly exam coming on June 5th and this is an issue I am defiantly gonna touch on. I'm just wondering if it damaged my cervix?!

I was on Lamictal for 4 years and after the first year I suddenly started having all kinds of teeth and gum problems for no discernible reason. But since Lamictal has the possible side effect of "sores or blisters on the inside of the mouth" I wondered if it could be related.
I did a Google search and am coming up with no experts yet, but lots and lots of posts connecting anticonvulsant meds, particularly Lamictal, Topamax, Neurontin, and Depakote, with dental problems. Dilantin is well known for causing gum disease and breaking down tooth enamel, loosening of teeth, and even breaking down of jawbone tissue.
I don't think the experts have connected the dots yet, but is anyone else having this problem?

every time I use Econopred plus drops I get a white spot or white string
inside of my eye. I had a corneal transplant Jan. 30,2008. This spot or
string is always on the bottom of my cornea and it doesn't move. I got
it off today with a tissue, but don't want to touch my eye if I don't have
to. I have another spot,same place, tonight.
I always shake the bottle before using the drops. Anyone else having
this problem?

I originally started on Prozac about four years ago but it didn't work so my doctor switched me to Lexapro. When I went for my next doctor appointment she noticed the drastic weight gain and noted it had been since I started taking the Lexapro so again, I changed medications. I'm now on Wellbutrin and have been for almost a year. I have been exercising, eating healthier, but am still gaining. Is anyone else having this problem. The doctor told me Wellbutrin did not have a reputation of causing wait gain but something is wrong. I also never thought about it until reading all the other postings. I am constantly having headaches and a very short temper. I'm ready to come off of it all together and just deal with the depression.

Both of my children were put on Singulair for asthma.
They have horrible itchy eyes that do not water.
It is absolutely pitiful.
I have looked up their side effects everywhere and do not see this listed.
Is anyone else having this problem????

I took Yaz for 1.5 weeks. The day after I started it I broke out into a rash that I thought was poison ivy. It wasn't...it was the YAZ. I immediately stopped taking it. That was a month ago, and I still have my rash. I've been on 3 different steroids and 2 different anti-histamines. Still have the rash. Is anyone else having this problem?

Hair loss! My hair was falling out by the handfuls after about 5 months on Yasmin. It first I had no idea that it could be the BC, since I have never had any side-effects like that from any other kind. I stopped taking the pill immediately, but my hair still falls out! I've been off Yasmin and any other BC pill for over a year now, and my hair is still falling out! Help! My Dr. is completely ignorant and telling me that he's never heard of any side-effect like that. I also have really bad acne. I had thick hair and completely clear skin before I started this BC pill. What the heck is happening? I had all my hormone levels tested as well as thyroid, and those are fine. Any ideas? Anyone else having this problem? Anyone found a cure? What is going on, and how do I get my hair back?

I'm 23 years old and had the Mirena put in 6 weeks after our first daughter was born. The first 2 weeks of having it were fine... other than a little struggle implanting it all was going well. Exactly at the 2 week mark I wound up in the ER with what I thought were a bladder infection, hemorrhoids, and swollen lymph nodes in my hip-flexors. Now none of this has been linked to the Mirena, so it could be a fluke, but none of the doctors could figure anything out! My urine sample was clean, my pap was normal, they couldn't find hemorrhoids, and it was a frustrating un-diagnosis. The doc sent me home with pain meds and a local numbing cream, but using the bathroom hurt so bad I had to bite down on a towel to pee! Taking a poop... HA... I've been putting it off for days because I feel like my rectum will tear open! Has anyone else had any of these things? Maybe I'm just ill with a strange disease, but this site has me curious if it isn't the Mirena!
