Avg symptoms and conditions

I am a 50 yr. old female diagnosed with diabetes 10 months ago. Tried Metformin for a couple of weeks and feet started swelling significantly. Have been on Januvia and Starlix since March '09. Just spent 9 days in the hospital with PNEUMONIA in my right lung only. Drs. are considering the fact that I have a very ENLARGED LIVER (19 cm. avg. is 12 cm) to be the cause of my pneumonia and having 3 liters of fluid removed from right lung cavity as the cause for my pneumonia. Liver function tests show liver is working fine. Anyone else have enlarged liver problems or pneumonia while on Januvia? I'm off it now and dreading what will happen to my sugar level. I also take ENBREL for my psoriatic arthritis and stopped it when my pneumonia developed.

This is my second bout with what my doctor thinks is erlickiosis. The first time I was at the point where I could only move like an old man doing "the nursing home shuffle". Everything was swollen. Feet, hands, knees even my jaw was hurting. I couldn't stand on my own even though two weeks prior I was walking 3-5 miles per day on some good size hills. I was hospitalized and given steroid injections. Within 12 hours I was standing on my own. I was given Perdnisone 30 mg X 3 days 20 mg X 3 days 10 mg X 3 days 5 mg X 4 days. Except for some insomnia and peeing 5 times a night there were no other effects. Within 2 days I was crippled again. Now my GP was in Africa and my Internist was leaving for vacation in India. Internist would not put me back on Prednisone because he wanted me to see a Rhumatologist. I made an appointment but it was SIX WEEKS OFF. Two days later i was admitted to a different hospital. This one was where my Rhumatologist had access. Long story short Prednisone 80 mg 7 days 60 mg 7 days 40,20,10mg 7 days each. Had to start taking insulin again. Glucose never went over 200. Avg glucose last 5 weeks is 120. Gained 5 pounds because I work out every day with free weights and lots of cardio. Hopefully, I won't have to many side effects when weaning is accomplished.

I have been taking Atenolol 25mg./day for 5 1/2 months for high blood
pressure. I am a 63 year old female. The side effects for me are
tingling in my fingers, which is especially annoying at night, and
muscle pain in my legs. I did not associate either of these effects
with the drug until I researched it on the internet and learned that
they might be associated with atenolol. I have since reduced the
dose in half and am experiencing less tingling and muscle pain

I have been taking Toprol XL 25mg for about 10 months. I had triple bypass surgery. The only things I have notice is less sexual drive, trouble sleeping between 3 am and 5:30 am, and trouble staying awake between 11 am and 3 pm. My blood pressure stays around 100/55 avg and pulse around 70.
