Body ache symptoms and conditions

I'm currently taking Doxycyline for my Varicocele and so far I have been feeling very nauseated haven't been as hungry and I have anxiety in my stomach and I also feel shaky and nervous sometimes.. it is discomforting.Also I have been experiencing joint pain and an overall body ache.

I have been on Arimidex since 2005 ,will be completing 5 yrs in 2010 .After 4 yrs ,I have started having burning sensation in my joints ,more so in my knees .I have been doing exercises prescribed very regularly ,I have added at least 7 kg in 4yrs .I have a controlled veg diet.Fatigue and body ache are the other side effects since the beginning of the drug.

fever, body ache, flu symptoms, anxiety, lack of energy, mood changes.

I used this to sleep as I have back injury and cannot get comfortable to sleep . I have tried many this worked well and made my body ache like flu. No bad taste or anything else just joint muscle aches. I would use it otherwise as I have tried many that just left me awake.

I have been having recurring UTIs and I had taken Cipro which did not clear up the first infection. My doctor prescribed Bactrim and wanted me on it for two weeks.

During the first week, I would feel dizzy for 2-3 hours after taking a dose. I had body aches as well, but thought I was getting the flu.

At the beginning of the second week, I broke out in hives. I have very sensitive skin and figured I had touched something that irritated my skin. I took benadryl and the symptoms went away.

The next day I broke out again, this time worse, and I noticed I had hives all over my body including on my feet and on my head- (which alarmed me, because I now realized it was coming from something inside). I thought it was something I ate. I took benadryl when I got home from work and they went away.

The day after that, I broke out again, and a co-worker mentioned that she had an allergic reaction from Bactrim and I should check online. Her reaction was dizziness and feeling sick to her stomach, but I looked anyway. When I saw that hives a side effect I called my doctor. They told me to stop taking the Bactrim and that I was allergic to it.

It will be a week tomorrow that I stopped taking Bactrim, and I still have hives everywhere. Last night, my entire back was covered with a red sunburn-looking rash with long snake-like hives. My boyfriend says the hives look like worms under my skin.

I would suggest to anyone that has any kind of reaction (dizziness, headache, body ache, rash, hives, etc.) to call their doctor ASAP. I should have know to call when they were making me dizzy in the first week, but sometimes you don't realize what is going on until you have severe symptoms. Doctors should tell people about the possible side effects when they prescribe this stuff.

I've been on Lisinopril 20mg for a week now. I have been having the hoarseness, leg cramps, tired (no energy), getting no sleep, and cough. But what worries me most is my blood pressure has dropped to what I think is TO LOW, (example: 87/60, 90/58, 96/66 89/68. I called my dr. 2 days ago and explained my concerns. They told me to cut my 20mg pill in half and we will decide what to do at my next appt. which is in a few days. Even after cutting the pill in half, my bp is still running 96/67, 98/66. Should I demand to be taken off the Lisinopril and be put on a different medication?

mood swings, short term memory loss, extreme sleepiness, edema, light flashes, constant ringing in ears that varies in tone, depression, stomach pain, flu like body ache, headaches, ear ache, continual nasal congestion, weight gain, constipation, dry & flaking skin & hair

I'm 58 years old and I've been on 10 mg Simvastatin for 14 months since I was diagnosed with Diabetes 2. Also Metformin and Glipiside as my bs got up to 499 at diagnosis with high cholesterol.

I had NO IDEA that my suffering the past year could possibly be tied to one of the drugs I've been prescribed. In the first three months after diagnosis, my Diabetes was controlled and I've even backed off some of the meds. My cholesterol also came down beautifully. However, the debilitating weakness and muscle aches (which has increased over the 14 mos.) has become so bad (especially this last week) that I came to the Internet looking for possible reasons for 'body ache'.

And get this: I take a packet of vitamins every day which includes a daily dose of Q10... BUT I haven't been able to take them for about a week and this last week I felt like I was ready for a wheel chair~!!! Worse than it's ever been, knees and feet in horrible condition, hands and wrists unable to open a water bottle. Total body aches so severe it made me want to research something, anything to see what might be the problem.... before seeing the doctor about it!

My shock at seeing my medication here listed with the horrible side effects I'm experiencing has been a revelation~!! I am going to stop the Simvastatinn and see what happens. BTW, I've been an active person all my life, was a 2nd Degree Black Belt and taught Tang Soo Do and know what muscle aches and pains are, know my body (at least I did) and pretty much thought my active life was over.....

Not now~!!! I'm FURIOUS!!

I've been taking Lo24 for 3 weeks now, winding down to the last week when usually on my last B.C. Ortho Tri Cyclen 28 - I start my period. But this past 2 days, I had severe back ache (not muscle, but like joints) lingering to my legs and arms. I felt very sick to my stomach. I haven't started my period yet. I thought I was sick. But I didn't have a fever, just very bad back and body ache that literally didn't go away for 2 days straight. Luckily that was during the weekend, I did end up going to work come Today, but I still feel it slightly - very irritable and it feels draining. I will be seeing my MD tomorrow. I check in on my status, if or if not it's due to Lo24.

I'm a woman, about to turn 50.....and have been experimenting with the statins for about two months(not by choice either). I tried Zocor and had a stop that after 10 days because of massive hair loss. Once stopped....the hair loss stopped immediately. Just a ill more than a month later I started on Lipitor. All seemed to be going ok. NO hair loss. BUT.......mannnnn I don't sleep hardly at all. I'm tired beyond all belief......and its that bone deep OMG I'm sooooo exhausted type tired. I often times don't eat an evening meal after work because I seriously don't think I cant stand long enough to make anything. My legs feel as though they cannot move another inch. I have horrible cramps in my fingers.....the calf of both legs and now in my rib area. Ive had horrible horrible blurred vision.....my attention span is about as long as a gnat!!!!! I seem to have an all over bone deep body ache. It gets to the point that if MOVING A MUSCLE would save my life........Id have to die sitting still....I cant do it. The every day you wake up in the morning headache is way beyond OLD. I also notice I'm nauseous and or have a gut ache almost all the time. Its effectively killing my appetite so maybe I'll lose weight, but damn..is this the way to do it?

WHY wont the doctors believe that this damn drug is responsible?

My 19 month old was hospitalized for 3 days with a high fever and all the symptoms that go with ...ie: body ache, fatigue, loss of appetite, dehydration. this took place after a 10 day amoxicillin course. In the hospital they started Omnicef via iv. after getting home he seemed to slowly get back to himself, with a few issues...waking up with "night terrors" cranky, loud, clingy, loose stools. his fever was down but not gone and his cough and runny nose seemed to be getting better. that is until today. we are 8 days into a 10 day with Omnicef and today his fever has returned (back up to 101 to 102) and his nose is running again. so 2 antibiotics down what next. between, all tests in the hospital came back negative until the blood culture came back and determined a blood infection. I am calling the hospital pediatric doctor in the morning to report on his repeat symptoms

I had been on nuvaring for 6 weeks. I usually don't do well with any birth control pills so when I heard about nuvaring I was excited to try it. The first few days I felt some light body ache as if I were getting sick. I noticed I was feeling depressed, but I thought it was because of some problems in my personal life. Then I went on a trip to Brazil to visit my family. I always have a great time. This time I wasn't having fun at all. I was always super depressed. I was always tired and never felt like doing much. Some days I just felt like crying. Some nights I would wake up in the middle of the night, think about my problems and just start crying, something that is not like me. My emotions were totally out of wack. I was not in conrol of my emotions, which is not a good feeling. I also had this horrible pain/feeling in the middle of my chest. More like an emotional pain as if you were missing someone super bad, as if someone had died, a very weird feeling. These symptoms subsided a little with a vitamin b complex. I read that vitamin B6, about 100 mg is good for depression. I would take a multivitamin and with it a vitamin B complex. On the days I would forget I felt the difference, the symptoms were worse. Two times during my trip when I was having one of those days my grandmother then my father asked if everything was ok, that I looked pale. The second time when he asked me, I thought to myself, this is not normal. I feel horrible. I came on to the web and found this sight. The same day I took out my ring. I was on my second month starting my third week. It has been two days. That pain in my chest has gotten much better and also my mood is getting better. About the sex drive I am not sure, because I have been away from my husband since I started the ring, but I haven't thought about sex at all. I think it was the right choice to take it out. Another thing about a week and a half ago my breasts have been very tender. My breast are still very tender, maybe a little worse, probably because I took olut the ring a week earlier, but I am glad I did. Hopefully now I will enjoy the rest of my trip. All these products for birthcontrol with hormones is like poison to our body. Well at least I have noticed it has been for mine.

i've been on synthroid for 9 years. started at some low dose and gradually went up to112 mg. get extreme itching all day everyday if i don't take allegra for that.not a rash just itching. that doesn't bother me as much as the fatique. every joint in my body aches all the time. sure there are better days but fo rthe most part it's bad. tried physical therapy and chiripratic care but no avail. they ended my sessions. my legs get sooo weak and my feet burn lower back really aches. sometimes muscle cramps. i'm very negative towards my loving family and it hurts me to do so. can't seem to keep upbeat. soo tired all the time.
is it the syntroid? i used to be very energenic and a doer. now i have spurts of activity in the morning , but then i just can't get motivated. help me any suggestions?

I was prescribed Levaquin the end of 2/07 for a sinus infection after six days I began to feel body ache in my knees, small back, shoulders and hips. In addition to the aforementioned, I have severe burning in my feet and mild burning in my hands. The burning sensations are mostly at night which affects sleep. It is now mid April, some of the affects are diminishing but flair ups continue. I also noticed that the burring sensation is accelerated by heat (sun, hot water etc.) My Doctor has me on the circuit, sinus specialist, nerve specialist and soon allergy specialist no one is admitting that Levaquin is the cause.

dry moutn, sleepy and body ache

I've taken Zpak several times (4+) and each time, it worked like a charm to cure ear, nose & throat infections. I think it worked better for me overall because of the short-dosage cycle which made it easier for me to take the full course prescribed (2 first day, 1 every day thereafter for 4 days). Side effects: diarrhea, cramping, headache, feeling "high" or medicine head--taken with or without food. Hard to say if these effects are attributed to meds or to the infection itself. Boyfriend taking Z-pak right now--he reports severe body ache, skin sensitivity (to touch), and feeling like crap. Again--hard to say if from med or virus/bacteria.

shortness of breath and body ache

I am 46 years old and have been on Advair for 3 plus years. I have experienced severe joint pain in hands, toe cramping/pain, very bad lower back pain and overall back and body ache. Weight gain also. I feel that it has also made me very lethargic. I think it's time to get off this stuff, the side effects are worse than the benefits. I am also tired of complaining about how I feel!
Do I have to ween myself off of Advair or can I stop immediately?

I started taking Lisinopril and Lipitor in early November. In early December I started to ache all over and began developing a persistent dry cough. He suggested I was reacting to the Lipitor and suggested I change to Zocor. I quit the Lipitor but did not start the zocor. The body aches improved only slightly and the cough got worse. In mid December I consulted my PCP and he indicated that the cough and sore chest were reactions to the Lisiopril. I stopped taking the Lisinopril and the PCP gave me Prednisone to cover the systems for ten days. It worked well and I was pain free and cough free while taking it. Last Friday it ran out. Since then my body ache got slightly worse and is now improving. The cough is back but to a lesser extent than before. When I get all of these drugs out of my system I plan to start the zocor. If it causes no problems I will allow the PCP to put me on another BP med.

I had endoscopic sinus surgery 12/28 and was prescribed Levaquin. A couple days after taking it, I thought I might be getting a flu bug. My throat became sore, fatigue, restlessness, body ache as if I had a fever, but had none. Five nights later I read the potential side effects on the package insert and found five symptoms including drowsiness but unable to sleep well. I find all the similarities on my Google/Levaquin side effect search. I will give progress report in a few days now and I sure won't take another 500mg tablet. No pharmacist or doctor said anything about avoiding caffeine or minerals, advil (as I've found in online remarks)...had some caffeine & minerals today. Guess I better beef up my water consumption to flush out as best as possible!

11 days ago, I went to the my sinus specialist for a recurring sinus infection. He gave me 2 weeks worth of Levaquin since I had previously tried Bacrim and Amoxicillin without help.
Well, I felt sick ever since I started taking it. I had muscle ache, nausea, diarhea and all over body ache. It also didn't help my sinus infection any.
After a week, I called the doctor and asked him to stop taking it. His nurse told me to continue it for two weeks.
Well, I went to the beach on Friday and I had about two hours of sun. I now learned that you shouldn't take sun when taking LEvaquin. I have been vomiting for two days. I have extremem muscle/joint pain. I am dizzy. I can not walk. I had to go to the emergency room where they told me I was having a severe reaction to Levaquin and they told me to stop taking it.
I really thought I was going to die yesterday.
Today, I'm a little better.
The drug made me really sick. Be careful.

severe joint pain especially on the hips, weight gain head aches, neck pain, overall muscle and body ache, difficulty breathing and insomnia.

i have had hair loss since on levoxyl two years. also have more problems exercising, the muscles in lower body ache when i walk on my treadmill, i wonder if anyone else has had similar problems?

Neurontin for IBS:
If "IBS" means "irritable Bowel Syndrome" I have some personal experiences to pass on --
I was already a userid of Neurontin for fibromyalgia -- a condition in which the muscles of the body ache like having the flu all the time -- and the Neurontin wasn't helping a bit with the gut-wrenching cramps and diarrea of IBS.
My doctor prescribed Lomotil --which I DO get in a generic called Lonox -- and only one pill at a time stops the IBS problems, even though at first I was up to 4 at a time (the instructions say to take one pill after every instance of cramps and loose bowels.)
Why don't you ask your doc about this, instead of upping the dose of Neurontin (which hasn't helped my IBS at all). Best wishes -- JanK
