Blood vessel symptoms and conditions

Well, I have had 4 infusions for Ulcerative Colitis. I have had several side effects but none that seem to serious....I don't think. Anyway, I keep having problems with my ankles after each infusion. Once they swelled up and a large red spot appeared and I was unable to walk on it for 24 hours then the swelling went down and a week late it happened to the other ankle. The next infusion a blood vessel in my ankle swelled so large I thought it would bust I elevated it and that helped. Then swelling went down after a few hours but the area turned black and blue and took a week to go away. Now I have a cough and sour throat..... so I really don't know. I go for my next infusion the end of Sept. We'll see what happens then.

my 95 yr. old mother was given 2 SMZ/TMP pills 12 hrs apart and within hours after the 2nd one, spiked a fever and became flush around her eyes and then her entire face. She ended up in the emergency room. Several days later she broke out with hives, red blotches, arm bruises, a skin infection, and blood vessel breaks on her arms and legs. She also itched terrible all over. Doctors thought it was her blood platelets causing this but they were wrong. She is allergic to sulfur drugs. Finally after 5 weeks now she seems to be improving. This is a very dangerous drug for some.

UPDATE from Yesterday)))>>> well thanks to everyone i quit taking it yesterday BUT!!!---> today when i woke up i had a horrible head ache and it seemed to be coming from my left eye. i looked in the mirror and i have a really weird yellowish glazed tint in both my eyes and in my left eye a blood vessel has burst. i also noticed ive developed a skin rash on my right side of my stomach and on my left calf. My joints kept me up all night in constant pain which felt like someone was ripping apart my ligaments. I had a minor anxiety attack last night (Ive NEVER had anxiety before) and my body just feels weak, drained, and i keep getting really weird muscel spasms in my upper thigh. I tried to go out to the store earlier and as soon as i stepped into the sunlight a migraine hit me, and ive never been sensitive to light....Ive had a feeling of helplessness and worthlessness more in the past 24 hours than i have in a year. Im also experiencing horrible lower back pain and stomach pain around where my kidneys are.... I did have a small amount breast tenderness when i woke up and im not sure if that's another side effect...(no im not pregnant, had multiple urine tests in the last week)...I think ive only went potty maybe once today...and that was at like 9am...its now almost 9pm. Im pretty sure if this isn't over with or doesn't improve by 10pm im going to the hospital.....i cant drink water and im pretty sure im getting dehydrated....my skins turning pale, i have dark rings around my eyes.....etc.......has anyone else suffered with these things? Levaquin is by far the MOST painful, riskful, antibiotic ive been on...They should definitely take this sh*t off the market!!! =[[

I have been on Atenenol for 5 months and I have suffered from the following. I have had nausea, depression, feeling tired all the time, can't sleep at night, and sometimes my hands and feet are swollen. I didn't think it was from the atenenol, but after reading some of the other ppl's side effects I am starting to think it is caused by the meds. I am on it for hpb, and I am only 30.

Albuterol HFA is literally killing me.

I have had asthma all my life and I know how to manage it very well. 8 weeks ago I came down with a chest cold which aggravated my asthma. So I started using the new inhalers... 8 weeks, three different antibiotics, and two HFA inhalers later, I'm barely keeping from being hospitalized... lungs are filled with brown crap.... blew out a major blood vessel in my eye from the coughing yesterday... now have fiull-blown pneumonia....

....and I just figured out that it is indeed the propellant is killing me. I found one of my old CFC inhalers, used it, and instantly feel much MUCH better. There's no doubt.

I am very very angry, and very very ill...

OMG....

I started Yasmin a week ago, and it has been the longest week I've ever lived. The first 2 days were okay, but after that I was constantly overwhelmed with paranoid fears such as the possibility of blood clots, heart attack, and stroke. I would feel random pains all over my body at different times. I felt a lot of stiffness and discomfort in my upper chest lung/heart area. I had pains in one calf one day, and the entire time i was unable to sleep. I would wake up after 2 hours having a panic attack. One night I woke up and honestly thought i was having a heart attack. I got up to go to the bathroom after trying to calm down and fainted on the floor. somehow my shoulder got cut in the process. After that happened, I couldn't smell or taste anything for about 2 days. Normally when i had fainting problems (which were due to hypoglycemia) i would only temporarily lose sight, hearing and feeling, not smelling and tasting- and no senses just went missing that way. I honestly thought i had a stroke.

After a few more days of putting up with this when i thought i could just hold on a little longer and get used to it (i'm on it to prevent ovarian cysts which i always get huge ones of) I was feeling better. But last night i heard what sounded like a single, horribly loud clap, and my head has been hurting worse and worse ever since. my dog did not hear anything, if he had, he would have at least perked his ears, but he did nothing so i know the sound wasnt real. at this point i'm afraid a blood vessel must have ruptured in my brain. i will never take Yasmin again.

I began taking advair October 2003 after the first case of brochitus in 20 years. I also turned 50 that year. I was asthmatic as a child, but had few occurences of wheezing during adulthood that I could remember in years. Always kept an Albuteral inhaler on hand just in case as some animals, smoky rooms, too much laughing, etc. could trigger the wheezing. Nothing I couldn't control with an inhaler and had never been hospitalized. Have always had allergies, excema but conrolled with Zyrtec and topical steriods.
I was 117 lbs. I would always gain 5 to 10 lbs. but could always bring it down when it was getting out of control. Occasional walking was my only exercise.
Within months, I started bleeding under the skin on my forearms. Only the top side. A bump made a large bruise, more like a dark purple spot. But most of the spots now are from the size of a dime to 2 inches in diameter. They start out deep red or purple, then fade as it is absorbed, which took a couple of weeks. But by then, I would have more. If I scratched gently due to excema it was a mess. I would wake up in the morning with more patches. Recently, it has started moving up past my elbow.
It has puzzled my dermatologist. The GP who prescribed Advair was not too concerned - I think he figures I'm the result of domestic violence. However, when I went to see him 2 months ago, my blood pressure was high and he wanted me to take blood pressure medicine. I had also gained 20 lbs. My blood work was fine.
I didn't even question the Advair until a couple of days ago. Why should I? My GP said it is the way to treat asthma now, before you get an attack. I felt it was a wonder drug - I haven't used an inhaler in over a 1-1/2 years. Over the last year I have tried eliminating anything I could think of that was causing this abnormal underskin bleeding. No aspirin, vitamins, sulfites, it goes on and on. It is like you can almost tear my skin.
Last week I broke a blood vessel in the white of my eye. The body is absorbing , but is this just a conincidence? I feel like my capilaries are disolving.
I'm not happy with the professional care I'm receiving from 2 difference doctors.
Stopped Advair 2 days ago. Anyone have this strange skin problem?
