Baths symptoms and conditions

I started the antibiotic on sept 23rd at night. Everything was going good until Monday night. I started having problems sleeping. Tuesday I went to work tried to run but I almost fell. Went to the emergency room with burning pains in my chest and my legs and hands kept trying to make me do a back bend. The doctors told me there was nothing wrong with me and they gave me a shot for pain. It didn't help. I tried to walk my calves were really bruised. I could not go out in any form of heat. My lips would become white and I would have problems breathing. The doctor checked my sugar and said it was at 117 a little bit high for someone who wasn't eating. So he did lab on me. My medicine was for 2 weeks and 1 extra day. The doctors lab took about a week and by the time I had gotten the results I had already finished the antibiotic. He told me I had Steven Johnson syndrome and that I was his second case he has ever seen. My hands hurt to lift or touch anything. My feet swell and turn purple. My lips become white and I have some problems breathing. And that's because it's over a month already since I have taken it. I still haven't gotten my appetite back. During the 2 weeks of taking this medicine I lost 13 pounds. Doctor told me he was glad that I didn't get the blisters. I drenched my skin in Vaseline and then I would take a bath. I took about 5 baths a day and drank about 7 bottles of water. I should be better before Christmas.

I took this poison 5 years ago and I'm still suffering the effects of it. PLEASE send it MEDWATCH reports so that they can get this off the market.
For all of you just starting your journey into hell, only time will help you. Take hot baths, don't over exercise ( you will tear tendons), change doctors tell everyone you know not to take any FLUOROQUINOLONE (LEVAQUIN, CIPRO, ETC.)

I am on two 500 mg doses of cephalexin daily to help heal a bug bite..Still waiting for the biopsy to come back. Doctor suggested could be a brown spider bite. Definitely want to stop the skin deterioration and get the wound from where the bite was removed healed but the itching started on day 3 on my stomach and has now spread to entire torso, back, insides of arms and legs. I have tried aveeno baths, benadryl (knocks me out) and eucerin itch-relief. Today I coated my entire body with 1% hydrocortisone with little relief. HELP - I am scratching to the point of bleeding and now that I have read these other comments will NOT take another one of these pills. Any other OTC relief anyone has found?

I had the Mirena fitted in August last year. I am 33 and never been pregnant. I did suffer from depression before and horrendous periods, hence why I had it put in, I didn't have it for birth control as I've been single the past year and a half. Anyway, I have NEVER felt pain like when i had it fitted, it felt like they were inserting a knife into my womb. I had to have a pain killer stuck up my bum cos I couldn't move. I was crying and screaming and just generally in a bit of a mess. It eased off after the pain killer. Ever since then I have had bad abdominal pains and even pain in my vagina and in my rectum, when I went for my 6 week check they said that things would improve and it was probably just hte shock of hte coil.
I went to a different doctor after that and they said it wasn't related to the coil and that it was probably IBS and gave me antispasmodics. They have eased it and when I went back 2 weeks ago for the third time in agony they tested me for bowel cancer, chrons disease etc. All tests have come back clear and have now taken it upon myself to have it taken out on Tuesday. I can't bear the pain any more. At one point I thought I had appendicitis. I have been going to bed with a hot water bottle most nights and having hot baths.

My periods never stopped and now I'm getting sore nipples for about a week before I'm due on. Another thing I've noticed is that I've been getting spotty shoulders, its gross!!! I'd be interested to know if anyone has had the same experience as me as far as hte pains go etc!!

6 DAYS AFTER STARTING SMZ-TMP DS 800-160 TD
From the onset of taking this medicine, I have had trouble sleeping, extremely hot-especially at night. My butt has been giving me some trouble since about day 4. Hives on day 7, starting taking the usual Benadryl and using the Benadryl Cream. By the end of day 8 (I did not take any pills--threw them all out!) I couldn't stand myself--It felt like bugs were crawling all over the inside of my body. The itching was driving me nuts. Kept taking large doses of Benadryl just to be able to work but it wasn't working real well. Went to the doctor and was told I am allergic to SULFUR and I should never take them again. Now I am on prednisone 10mg, Claritin, Benadryl, Benadryl Cream, my inhaler and I'm suppose to take baths in oatmeal stuff. UGH! My stomach has been a bit off all week and the depression is worsening.

I'm 18 years old and live in Florida, while at the gynecologist for a routine visit my doctor strongly suggested that I start the Gardasil 3 shot cycle. After checking with my mom (who was unfortunately given biased information from my doctor without first doing research on the product) agreed since we both figured that my doctor would be knowledgeable enough on the subject (or you would think since she was the one administering the drug.) The first two shots went fine and I had no reaction at all. After the third shot (in October of 2007) I woke up the next morning with swollen hands and extreme swelling at the injection spot. I immediately returned to my gynecologist where I was told “there is no possible way you can be allergic to this medication” by my doctor, and that those reactions would go away in a few days. A few days following this I developed sores in the back of my throat and under my tongue, however my gynecologist still insisted there was no possible way it was an effect of the Gardasil (EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THE VERY NEXT DAY) & I had no previous illnesses. Within the week following I developed body-wide hives so severe that I cannot sleep and they affect my breathing. I’ve seen several doctors (allergist, dermatologist, primary physicians, and immunologists) none of which can determine why exactly I have these hives, besides that it is a “drug reaction” (it took 11 vials of blood to determine that). However when one of my dermatologists questioned Merck about it they simply said that there is no evidence and I cannot sew!!! That’s all they cared about! A law suit! WHAT EVER YOU DO, DO NOT GET THIS SHOT, TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW! It has ruined my life. As an 18 year old girl living in Florida I love to go to the beach however because of these hives they get so severe when I’m exposed to sunlight I can no longer go. It’s also extremely embarrassing when people stare at them since they cover most of my body on a daily basis.

Don't think there is anywhere else to put this. Please someone else tell me you know what I am talking about and that I am not crazy! After two years of doctors treating me for muscle issues in my left neck/shoulder area someone finally realized I MRI images were not clear and ordered another. I have Mild Degenerative Disc Disease and three bulgin/herniated discs. C-6, C-7 and T1 (I believe). Anyway, prescribed Predisone and immediately had severe lower back pain. It was almost like back labor or the worst menstrual cycle ever. I stopped taking it for two days, lower back pain went away. I tried taking it again and the same thing happened si I stopped again. Theb I received a total of seven trigger point injections. All but one caused the same awful lower back pain, but went away after a day. I just had my second cervical epidural injection. The first one had the same painful side effects, but again went away after a day. The second one whick I had Monday, September 9, 2008 was the worst yet! Not only did I have excruciating lower back pain but it also moved around to my lower abdomen. Oh gosh labor all over again, but without being pregnant. I have three children so I know what it feels like. I have tried everything including: Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Acetametifen, heat, moist heat, ice packs, hot baths. Pain Specialist doesn't prescribe enough pain meds to make the pan tolerable. So I end up running out 2-3 days early so I can't ask for more. has anyone ever has this side effect form steroids? I so, do you have any other suggestions. Please help, one more injection to go and can't take the pain anymore. My kids need me!

I had horrible, horrible pains in my intestines from taking metronidazole 500 mg 1 pill 2 times daily. i felt like i was going to die and so far the pain has lasted for an hour. I have taken this before and it did the same thing. It’s a horrible drug. You’re better off using natural things such as garlic pills and apple cider vinegar baths.

I just started using Yasmin 15 days ago and in the second week of taking it, I started experiencing leg cramps. I was just laying in bed and my leg started feeling really weird... I just thought it was because I hadn't done any yoga for a few days. So I did yoga and walked for a while to see if I could loosen it up and nothing. It continued for the whole week so I started taking baths to soften the muscle, thinking that it had to do with lack of exercise, still nothing. I even had my massage therapist husband try and massage it out and still nothing. So I thought it may be early pregnancy symptoms, but the test was neg. I've been researching my symptoms for a week now, and I stumble across this sight. Thank you I will stop taking it NOW so that I don't become as ill as most of you, though I will still have the leg cramps checked out asap. Again thank you.

I cannot believe that there is so much of ignorance in such an educated society. Let me first start by saying I am on no medication absolutely I do have bronchitis I don't take cough medications or allergy medications or inhalers etc etc. I read at the bottom in a post that this 28 year old cries every time she sees te Save the children advertisement. I can tell you I listen to music, I watch tv and every touching or heart rendering story or lyric makes me cry!!! I wonder if i was on Singulair I would certainly be committed to some mental asylum.
I think all you educated people should consider that you do not need to be on a drug or any medication to suffer from depression symptoms or any such other emotional trauma. Why blame one thing alone, blame the governments for putting its citizens under stress , blame your economies for bringing down your county into a recession where your earnings don't meet the cost of living, What we should be fighting for is irrelevant, so some strategy comes into light where all these years, read all the posts, 2 , 5, 7 10 years of using Singulair and NOW you want to complain. Why didn't they complain all these years ago and get the drug recalled.. Don't blame one thing alone. Maybe if people lived cleaner, healthier lifestyles you wont be taking medications.

I was taking Danazol for 20years in alow dose for pressitant breast pain. I gradually began to suffer from muscle pains for no apparent reason. My doctor immediately stopped the Danazol, although wouldn't admit they were causing the problem. I ''fell apart at the seams''. None of my muscles worked properly, I had extremely high blood pressure, could barely walk, I was in constant pain and had to have massage for 2 hours per day. My eyes ached, I couldn't control my bladder and bowels very well. I thought I was going to die. My doctor sent me for numerous blood tests, endoscopes etc. But said I was depressed. I was depressed, because I felt so ill !
Its now 4 years since I stopped Danazol and I feel it has caused long term damage to my muscles. I have tried everything from massage to supplements. Things have improved a great deal, but I find it difficult to exercise as I tire very easily and particularly my back muscles seize up even after sitting for any length of time.

Has anyone else been on a low dose of Danazol for this length time. Have you suffered?

SINCE TAKING MY FIRST LUPRON SHOT, I HAVE NEVER FELT SO BAD IN ALL MY LIFE. I'M REALLY DEPRESSED ALL THE TIME AND DO NOT KNOW WHY. HAVE THE HOT FLASHES, NIGHT SWEATS ARE SO BAD UNTIL I HAVE TO GET UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO CHANGE MY NIGHT GOWN. WENT TO THE E.R. ON TUESDAY WITH VERY SEVERE CHEST PAINS AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY THING WRONG AND I KNOW I'M NOT JUST IMAGING THINGS. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS SHOT TO ANYONE. ALL I WHAT TO DO IS TO GET RID OF THE FIBROIDS. HA!! WRONG ANSWER

PLEASE READ THIS! UPDATE FROM ROCCO21ELM

I suffered terrible joint/muscle pain after taking Levaquin for 9 days. After reading all the posts here I was terrified that it was going to be an ongoing problem but it's been about a month now and the pain is nearly gone completely. Worry and fear seem only make the pain so much worse!
Pleae go to the doctor for a blood test. If everything comes back negative then you can relax. I suggest a proper diet, (AVOID foods known to cause inflammation and eat more foods that are anti inflammatory! Stretching in the morning, and swimming in warm water, hot baths help, and above all else, have a positive attitude. It goes a long way!! Good luck to all of you.

I have taking Omep,Losec, or Domparion??? for the last 3 yrs. The major side effect for all 3 have been knee and calf cramps after going to bed. The morning starts with the cramps, and they are getting more frequent. I place a ice pack on the area, and it subsides for awhile. Hot baths seem to inflame the area. Any suggestions??? The acid refux is gone. I have taken myself off the medication, and the AR returns with a vengence. Interesting about the comment re: generic drugs, I hope you are wrong, as the insurance company that we have will only pay for the generic. When on group plan, I didn't care - but now...... Anyone else experience this? I am also on Lipitor, which have the leg cramp side effects??????

Please let me know so I can wean off the Lexapro

Sarah you there please help!

Took this product for about 2 years. Had terrible problems with insomnia, ringing in ears, anxiety during that time. I liked the fact that I had lost about 2 sizes so I was reluctant to stop. When I did, even though I decreased the dosage very slowly, I had terrble withdrawl symptoms. Extreme hostility, agitation, up for days, suicidal thoughts (which I'd never felt before). The doctor had no idea what would help. I called Narcotics Anonymous and was told to drink lots of water, cranberry juice, walk, take hot baths and above all pray. It has been about three weeks now and the worst has passed, but my life was hell for about two of those weeks. I don't believe doctors give you the proper counseling when you get on/off these or any other meds. They are too busy writing prescritions and keeping the drug manufacturers fat and happy!

My daughter is 6 years old. She has been having sinus problems every fall/winter/spring that last for weeks even months at a time. We took her to the doctor and they put her on Singulair. She has been on it for a week and she has been complaining of skin pain (a rash shows up during baths). Tonight she is complaining that her vagina hurts so I took a look thinking rash, but it is really red inside, she has never had this problem before. Could this be a side effect? We are going to take her back to the doctor to see what they say.

I am a 47 yr old w/immune condition still getting phy thpy for unknown tendonitis issue in arms that started last spring. Post my physical 2 1/2 wks ago i was given two meds. One was Cymbalta for pain due to peripheral neuropathy and the other was Leviquin for sinusitis. I was on it for 14 days, 500mg. I was in a brain fog most of the time. I had insomnia, terrible aches and pains in my shoulders and neck. I thought it was due to the other med I was taking, but now that I am done taking the Leviquin I feel much better. After reading entries on this site and others I cannot believe my doctor put me on this antibiotic. I am taking baths with epsom salts for the magnesium since that is what most here say helps get over these side effects. I had previously considered changing doctors, now I know I have to go elsewhere. This mistake in judgment on his part is unforgivable.
