Asthmatic symptoms symptoms and conditions

I have been taking Singulair for one week now due to my exercise induced asthma and allergic asthmatic symptoms. I feel very stressed out and anxious and yell at my parents a lot. Also, I feel kind of paranoid, like I feel as if somebody is watching me at all times. It is scary because I've only been on it a week. Also, my face is red and blotchy and my acne has gone from very little bumps to full blown breakouts all over. I have a barking cough and runny nose now that the doctor prescribed it. When I cough I have a pain on my left side that feels like someone is stabbing me.

I am just in tears right now... Finally to know what is wrong with me is so overwhelming. I had Mirena put in Oct of 2008 after my son (third child) was born. No other bc had worked for me and I had miscarriages and two other children at age 24 because of this. My doc pushed Mirena like there was no other option on the planet. He raved about it and was VERY quick to just give it to me without discussing any negative side effects. In fact all I heard were positives, I went home AFTER it was in and looked at the official website to see what the side effects may be.
The hair loss started almost immediately, which like many others I chalked up to hair loss that you get after having a baby. I had pains all over my body, but I had a fall at the hospital (off a broken toilet seat with my numb epidural legs) but I didn't know why I was just...sore everywhere. Achy just all the time almost similar to when you have a fever but not quite. Then the memory loss began. This I thought was because my son had been born with Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension and had to be put on ECMO. I thought the stress of it all was just causing memory loss and confusion. The fatigue was constant, never ending no matter how much sleep I got. And like I've read by so many others, thought I have 3 kids and I'm a full time student, my husband works 70+ hours a week, I'm just busy and exhausted. The mood swings, anxiety, and just overall feeling of being crazed started around Christmas time (I thought it was the holidays!)
So I began to cut down on SO much. Like my cleaning, I tried to make the simplest meals I could (I DREAD cooking something that used to be a passion of mine) just getting done what my body allowed. And week after week my body let me do less and less.
Today after an entire weekend of ocular migraines and getting 10+ hours sleep every night and feeling like I have gotten less than 2, fighting with my husband because I'm such a wreck and have ZERO sex drive, constant pain, and after my shower this morning looking at my hair just bawling seeing how much I have lost, I just googled all my symptoms.
I'm so thankful I did, I'm so glad I know that this stupid piece of plastic is what is sucking the life out of me! Thats what its like! Its like RAPID aging. A part of me is outraged too. Why does it take us having to do our own research to find this out? This is SERIOUS. This stupid thing has practically cost me my marriage, I can no longer do school work because I can't remember ANYTHING, I can barely take care of my kids, I make it through the day by the skin of my teeth and honestly I was thinking today if I can't live like this anymore. I mean that. If this got any worse...I don't want to think about it. This should definitely be told to anyone considering Mirena. Yes, it may be a miracle for some people, but there is the chance and I don't care how slight, we are living proof that it happens, that it will suck the life out of you and consequently destroy it. I'm changing docs and getting this thing out ASAP.

I have only been on Advair for a couple of weeks but went online because my gums are bleeding like crazy and my mouth is very sensitive. I stopped a few days ago because my asthmatic symptoms had subsided, but i think that the Advair is responsible for my mouth problems.

I have adult onset asthma that has gotten progressively worse since I moved from a small Midwestern town to a larger city in the Sonoran desert. On account of this progression in asthmatic symptoms and flair-ups, I switched from Flovent 220mcg to Advair 500/50 about a year ago. For a long time, Advair really seemed to be helping my asthma. Outside of gaining 10-15 pounds in this year (which I asked my pulmonologist about and was assured that inhaled steroids cannot be responsible for), I have fortunately not had many of the aforementioned side effects. However, in the past month after experiencing a bad flair up while studying abroad, I have developed severe heartburn, nausea, acid reflux, a sore throat, and mouth sores. I take the medicine as prescribed and am always sure to properly rinse out my mouth, having been warned about this. After reading everyone else's entries on this site, I am now curious if Advair is doing more harm that good.

i have been on and off advair since 2002. it is very effective for its intended purpose;the relief from asthmatic symptoms.however i always got a hoarse voice(even with thorough rinsing) and shortly after, my speech would become slurred. I cant be sure,but headaches,dizziness and high blood pressure also seem to be side effects. all the side effects quickkly go away (a few days) when i discontinue its use. at this point i prefer to live with the asthma.
