Bm symptoms and conditions

WOW i can't believe what I am reading on here! this is exactly what's been going on with me for years (i've had two mirenas; one for five years and then a new one was put in last may):
acne
VERY stubborn weight gain
anxiety
mood swings
abdominal pain
digestive issues
pain with sex
thyroid issues
...i just made an appt to get my mirena out on Wednesday! thank you ladies!

I have been on Yaz for a little more than a year and until reading this postings didn't fully realize that a lot of bad things were related to taking this pill. For sure my sex drive was gone completely but I figured I could probably live with that. I had very few BM and stomach cramps specially when just starting the new pack every month. There were a lot of other things that have been mentioned but lately and the reason I'm writing is that I've been having chest pain and feel my heart pounding just from going up the stairs. Also my muscles feel very week, especially my legs. This is really scary and already made an appt with my PCP. Has anyone heard anything or has had heart issues related to Yaz? Something that can help me ask questions or give my doctor more clues.

I've been taking Januvia for about 2 months and have experienced sever constipation. I don’t seem to have an urge to have a BM. I have increased my fiber and water intake with no success. I’m also taking Metformin, so I was used to having diarrhea. Since taking the Januvia, I need to take meds to have a BM. I’m also experiencing numbness down the outside of my thighs. I have trouble sleeping throughout the night and I’m very anxious. I don’t know if my problem in the Januvia, but I do know that I did not have these problems until I started taking the Januvia. I’m planning to stop taking the drug for a few days and see how I feel.

I have been on other birth controls, and more recently have been off for 8 months. Not trying to get pregnant, just sick of the side effects of my other pills (generics). Doc gave me yaz, I didn't take it until now, 5 months after prescribed. I have been taking it for 7 days, and I feel like crap. I thought my back pain was from sleeping wrong and sitting at a computer, but you guys have it too. I didn't have a BM for the first 5 days, and when I did it was painful and smelled like someone died (completely unlike me). I feel like I don't want to do anything fun. I have gone to bed by 9 every night and have no interest in doing anything else. Even thinking about my Sunday plans, which are normally fun and exciting, all I want to do is lay in bed.

This pill is whack, and I'm going off it immediately. I would rather get pregnant or be stuck using icky condoms again than deal with this crap. Thank you everyone else for sharing. I hope someone else eyes get opened like mine just were.

My husband was diagnosed with Type2 diabetes Sept. 30, 2008. He took the Janumet 50/1000 samples 2 times a day like the doctor told him to. His bs was very good (less than 110). He then switched to 50/500 about the 3rd week of October. His bs still fine. But he started having diarrhea many times a day and through the night.

He quit taking the janumet and about 5-6 days later the diarrhea changed to soft bm's. And he started to feel better, and then his bs would go up again. So he took 2 days of Janumet, diarrhea for 5-6 days(and not taking J.).

The doctor gave him separate prescriptions for januvia and metformin. My husband took 2 half pills a day of the januvia(100mg). and after 2 days, the diarrhea started again.

This is awful, just awful!

Ok i have read some of the post and now i am a bit scared about what i have done to myself. I had this put in Sept 23 2008 so i have only had it for about a week. I have two children 18 months old and 2 months old i am 22 years old and cant afford to have any children let alone any more children. So i chose mirena since i got pregnant with my children on the pill and the patches pill with my last one and the patch with the first one.

I paid 878.38 to have it put in and so far i have noticed that i have some poking and sometimes stabbing pain in that area and i have really bad gas and i am afraid to push to have a bm scared that i might push it out since the cervix is still dialiated. so far i don't want to have it removed but wanted to know.

Has anyone had it fall out?
and also what about weight gain, face compelxion,

Im not so worried about sex drive i didn't have one with my boyfriend before i had it put in. I lost my sex drive after i had my daughter who is 2 months old i actually lost it before i had her so thats not a major concern of mine that i think has a lot to do with bi polor anyways and the meds i take. And i haven't noticed any changes in depression maybe because i already take 3 different meds for manic bi polar syndrome.

I have notice some pimples popped up on my chest in the last few days but i thought that could be due to the heat and i was out side for a few days doing a yard sale.

Does anyone have any advice.

I am 26 weeks pregnant and doctor found that I had a yeast infection. She prescribed the one dose Diflucan, assuring me that it was safe in the later half of a pregnancy. The morning after taking the pill, I woke up with the worst stomach pains I have ever experienced in my life. It felt like someone had punched me in the gut. The only relief was when I'd have a BM. The pain lessened each day and as long as I didn't have any dairy products, I felt OK by the 3rd day after taking the pill. I read that lactose is in the pill - I am semi-lactose intolerant, so I'm assuming that is the cause for the incredible stomach pains. Also had a pretty bad headache the first two days.

Been on Toprol XL for 4 years. I am 64 with SVT and mitral valve prolapse. I was started at 50mg daily and got relief but when breakthrough SVT started the dose went up to 50mg in the AM and 25mg in the evening. I still have breakthroughs but can wait them out. I did notice that my SVT or palpitations seemed to be triggered with an imminent BM. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia but coincidentally....it started with severe muscle pain when I started taking Toprol XL. I wasn't told that this could be a side effect.HMMMM When my insurance was discontinued (retirement) I started taking the generic due to cost. I haven't noticed any difference between the two. I also noticed that after a SVT episode I have a increase in urination....Toprol or SVT? I also noticed that I am very aware of an increase in a feeling doom. I have had ekgs etc and my heart is in good shape otherwise.

I have been on the aciphex for approx. 2 mos. I have had headaches all the time. I have loose BM all morning long. I've had terrible anxiety. My stomach has been cramping and feel the need to vommit all day. No appitite either. I'm going to stop the med and see if I feel better.

I've been on this medicine for about six months. The muscle pain in my legs and feet is terrible. I am now getting tingling and needle pain all up and down my legs. It is very hard to get any sleep at night. The leg pain gets worse when I lay down to rest. My reflux is better but the pain I am going through is not worth it. I stopped for two weeks and felt better except the acid reflux came back a little. The Doctor said that I should continue, even with the problems I am having with this medicine. I decided to check this out for myself. It is good to hear that I'm not the only one having these problems. I have had the BM problems also.

My 2 1/2 yr odl was put on Omnicef over a week ago for a severe ear infection in both ears and a UTI caused by her "holding" her stools ( she doesnt like to poop) Well she usally has painful bm's caused by IBS (yes toddlers can have IBS) But i noticed tonight that her stool, which was still large and painful was stained red... parts of the stool were COMPLEATLY red... i almost rushed her to the ER.. but first i looked up bloody stools in toddlers and discovered that Omnicef caused a Infection in the intestinal Tract and can cause bloody stools, or orange tinged stool... She hasnt really had much other side effects, other then a little irratablity.. but i dont think we will be going with Omnicef again....

Since taking the drug I have had the little tickle in the back of my throat, but what bothers me is that I have been getting hemroids does anyone know about this or can help? My BM has been very hard and somewhat painful.

My 4 month old son is taking omnicef and just had his first bm since starting it. It was clay colored. He has been sleeping alot but not crying more than usual. I think. This is some scary stuff. Not sure if I want to keep him on this.

My 2 yr old son was prescribed omnicef for an ear infection. I will never give him this drug again. Severe diarreah, horrible diaper rash, I could hear his little stomach gurgling and then boom!!! Explosive BM and screams to go with it and he woke up in middle of the night very angry throwing things. There has got to be something else. This drug should not be given to children!

After taking Aciphex for several weeks, I began have alot of stomach problems, frequent BM's (6-7 times a day, ) lots of bloating and gas, nauseous, and general malaise. After going to see my MD, she said to stop the Aciphex. Within 3 days, all my symptoms subsided. No problems now since going off the Aciphex. Reflux has come back with a vengence. I will seek other options for dealing with GERD.

had cerium implants 8 Sep 2005. Flomax rxd one or two before sleep. Still get up ave. three/night. Acute urges produce a tsp or a cup-don't know in advance.
Rx changed to one am and one pm. Told to drink eight glasses of H2O per day. Also have freq. urges for BM, seldom productive. May be due to stimulation of size of inflamed prostate and/or radiation. Feel good except for the incontinence.

SEVERE STOMACH PAINS THAT RADIATE ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK

Well, so far I have been lucky as my side effects have been bareable. I have had to take prednisone twice due to ulcerative colitis flares. The first time I started at 40 mg I.V. while in the hospital. Within 2 days I had gone from having 15-20 BM's a day, to 2 or 3 a day. Within 9 days my diarrhea had cleared up (and I was able to leave the hospital). I noticed after about 4 or 5 days of being on prednisoe that my appetite had gone through the roof. I was inhaling the tasteless hospital food like it was gourmet cuisine, and then I mooched food off the teenage in the bed beside me, and anyone else that had any. After loosing about 30 pounds in the previous few months from the colitis, the weight gain was actually a plus. Other effects from the prednisone were night sweats, insomnia, mood swings (I was really irritable), joint pain, and kind of a buzzy head feeling. The Doc tapered me quickly on the following schedule:

40mg 2 weeks
30mg 1 week
25mg 1 week
20mg 1 week

then dropping 2.5 mg's a week to 10, then 2.5 mg's per every 2 weeks until 5mg, then off.

I noticed the side effects diminished alot once I was under 20mgs.

The second time on prednisone after another colitis flare has been a lot easier to take. The only effects I noticed this time were appetite, buzzy head and joint/bone pain (especially in my neck). which again decrease alot when I got under 20mg.

Like I said, I feel lucky that my problems haven't been as bad as many who have posted on this site. If you are new to prednisone, don't get to scared by everything you here. If you are taking it, it is probably because you have little or no choice. Stay positive and maybe you will be lucky like me.

It is my 10th and final day of Levaquin 500mg qd. I began taking it for sinusitis that became pharyngitis/laryngitis. Since beginning the drug, I have experienced decreased mental acuity, lightheadedness, food and drinks taste salty, extremely bizarre & lucid dreams -- sometimes 5-6 per night that I can remember or at least can remember how strange they were. Also, I have experienced everything from diarrhea to complete cessation of BM, bloating, and extreme nausea.

I have been using bisacodyl laxatives for over a dozen years. Unfortunately due to the tolerance I my body has developed for this medication, I am often required to use between ten and fifteen tablets per dosage -- and I need to use them every night or morning. Since nearly the outset of my using this laxative, I have suffered from severe, intense, INTOLERABLE cramping of a degree I have never experienced with any other medication or from any other product. The cramps and pain are so severe that it is difficult for me to even put it into words. The pain emanates from just below my breast bone, in the center of my ribcage. It is so debilitating that the ONLY way that I can achieve even a slight degree of relief is to ball up a pillow or some similar object and place it directly where the pain is centered. The intensity can last anywhere from fifteen minutes up to and beyond an hour. It's made me late for work, for school, and is often accompanied by nausea, cold sweats and vomiting. I am seeking out others who have experienced these side effects after using this product to see what alternatives exist for me, and also to see how they might alleviate some of the pain. It is without question the most hideous, horrific pain I have ever experienced. Any thoughts?
