Bumps symptoms and conditions

I have been taking Yasmin since November 2006, since July this year I have been suffering from a condition called Chronic Urticaria. This involved a very itchy nettle rash, painful joints, swelling on my hands and feet, so much that I cant walk. My eyes swell up so much that I cant open them, my lips swell up, tightness in my chest almost so much that I can not breathe. I have been to the hospital loads of times, seen about 20 different doctors, been put on 5 different steroids, anti leprosy pills, antibiotics, post transplant pills, anti histamines and many more. I am just wondering if anyone else has suffered from any of these side effects whilst taking Yasmin?

I'm so happy i found this I thought i was loosing my mind, little did i know all my problems had one cause. I've had time were a headache has lasted 3 days, I used to play sport now i'm to lazy to move let alone go outside. I've been depressed before in my life but none quite like this, I'm happy right now but i have days were i look at my partners face and i'm disgusted by him, i don't want to be touched i just want to curl up in a ball and feel nothing at all. What else... as soon as i started on Yasmin my skin went to hell became dry and itchy and blotchy, dead libido, pimples on my chest, it's just screwed with all my hormones, my hair is dry one second oily the next and it used great no effort, now my only option is to have it tied up all the time. I have also had major anxiety attacks and stress about minisucle things like not having anything to do! ridiculous.
I've tried other pills before with no prevail, i've decided to cease use of Yasmin and have given up on all pills...i say unless you allergic to laytex i say condoms are the way. I'd rather give up sex than live like this any longer.

I began taking Zyrtec for seasonal allergies. I had taken OTC benadryl but it makes me very drowsy so dr. recommended Zyrtec. Took it every day for a week and noticed shortly (within an hour) after taking, I developed a pronounced rash on my hands and feet. Red circular bumps that itched. I did not immediately associate the rash with taking Zyrtec. I had recently purchased new hand soap so I attributed this change to the rash. I stopped taking the Zyrtec and eliminated using the soap at the same. 3 days of no bumpy rash. This morning, took a Zyrtec after a particular rough sneezy morning. Within an hour, the rash is back! The Zyrtec is the ONLY THING that can be causing this reaction as it is the only variable present at the same time the rash is!

I started doing research online and am shocked at the reactions people have to Zyrtec. I have never been one to take medicines as I don't trust the pharmaceutical companies and this justifies my position!

I was on Sulfamethoxazole-1pill 2x day/ 7 days- for an intestinal infection. I started on Monday and by Wednesday I developed abdominal pain on my left side, Thursday I was feeling so tired and not as alert as I should have been and I had panic and anxiety attacks while in a business meeting; my heart was beating through my chest even hours after the meeting had ended. Friday I realized I had developed a burning and itching sensation in the vagina area and that I had redness and white bumps all around it. Thanks to MONISTAT CREAM which I used for 2 days- twice a day- to help with the itch. On Saturday ( 3 pills away from finishing the treatment) after my husband found this web site and started telling me that all that had happened to me this past week were side effects retaled to Sulfamethoxazole, I stopped. I have been driking lots of water to help clear my system faster and today (4 days later) I am felling much better and my symptoms are starting to clear out.

This is just my first month using NuvaRing. So far so good. I've not had any major noticable symptoms and if anything my regular monthly mood swings (two weeks before my period) have dropped from 5 days to 2. My boyfriend really appreciates that.
I have noticed a few skin irritations, they look like bug bites and come up rather quickly and disappear just as fast. Slightly painful but not something that I can't live with.

Been on lisinopril for about a year for high bp. Seems to help. Don't have a cough and don't seem to be feeling weak or sluggish. Do have a burning sensation on the tip of my tongue and a couple of really sore bumps have come and gone on the last few weeks. Also, I am now developing may little red cherry like blood blisters on my body just about everywhere. I've had the dermatologist look at them and he called them some kind of skin cherry and nothing to worry about. I know they are somewhat genetic and my father has a few but I am getting hundreds of them and it has been within the last 6 months. I was told this medicine dialated the artery going into the kidneys to relieve pressure. Wonder if it is dialating capalaries in my skin causing these cherrys? Anybody else got 'em?

I was taking solumedrol for five days for an acute attack of MS. I was fine throughout the treatment the nurse came out to my home and showed me and my son what was to be done each day. I left the drip set to 104 which took around 2 hours to complete. The only things I experienced during the treatment was having a metalic taste in my mouth and sour burps thereafter, something I found helpful for this was to take tums or rolaids before my treatment and maybe one or two afterwards. I did ask the nurse was that something I was supposed to experience and she said yes. On my 5th day I took my medication and took the IV out. A couple days passed and I woke up one morning to looking like I was reliving my puberty years I mean my face was broke out all over, my forehead, cheeks, chin oh and also my back. I don't know if this is one of the side effects but I am putting it up here anyways. I have never had a break out like that before, my face is clearing up now, my back is up together, but I did notice that on my forehead where the bumps have dried up my skin looks different sort of like snake skin, and my cheeks look as if they have a rash. I think it did have something to do with the medication because like I said I have never experienced anything like this before, and my skin has never looked the way it looks now. Hopefully it will pass. On the positive note the medication did help me out with my attack, and I feel like I am back on track and pretty much my old self again.

My doctor prescribed this (actually the generic version - sulfameth/trimethoprim) medication to me to treat a bite that got infected on my foot. The infection went away, but after day 7 of taking this (out of 10 days) I awoke with rash-like bumps all over my thighs, that eventually started spreading to other areas on my body. Sort of like hives and a sunburn combination.
I've had this now for 4 days and started taking Benadryl and anti-inflamatory creams to control it. It slowly seems to go away now, but it definitley is a lengthy process.

I am a 39 year old female. I have been taking Advair for about 4 years now, since a bad attack landed me in the hospital. My pulmonologist initially put me on the 500 strength and told me to take it twice daily. After a couple of week of that my skin broke out in small bumps all over the place - my face, my chest, my back, even on my scalp. I suspected the Advair, told my doctor, and she advised me to reduce to once daily. I did, and the bumps were gone within days. After a few months she decreased me to the 250 dosage and I remained on that for 3 years with no debilitating side effects. Unfortunately my doctor retired around this time and another doctor took over her practice.

About a year ago I noticed that my joints were weaker, specifically my knees, and I had one bad fall caused by complete loss of strength in my left knee. My new doctor said I might be experiencing cartilege loss but did not mention it may be from the Advair.

Then a few months ago I had got an upper respiratory infection which went into bronchitis. My doctor put me on an antibiotic that I'd never taken before and increased my Advair to 500 again. Almost immediately I began experiencing racing heart, joint pain, extreme skin sensitivity, sore throat and ear pain. I also got a yeast infection, which is something I have never had before. I still did not suspect Advair as the culprit. Although I reported all these symptoms to my doctor, he also did not mention the possibility of Advair playing any part in them. He told me it was acid reflux, although I've never had a single GI problem in my life. He told me the muscle pain was stress, for Heaven's sake. I wasn't very comforted by his diagnosis, but couldn't think of what else I could do.

One morning a few weeks ago I woke up and for some reason decided to Google Advair, and found copious documentation from reputable sites like Mayo Clinic that detailed all the possible side effects of the drug. I was floored to see that I have been experiencing so many of them.

I have now taken myself off Advair. It's been a week thus far and my breathing has not gotten any worse but the heart racing has already gone away. I also feel less ear pain. The joint pain has remained. I suspect that bone and cartilege damage done by this drug will not be reversible.

Tomorrow I have another appointment with my doctor and plan on showing him the information I printed out from the Mayo Clinic site on the effects of Advair. I do not plan to resume taking that drug.

i'm taking biaxin for an upper respitory infection. I have cramps, dihherra, sad, funny taste in my mouth but now that i've been taking it for 3 days i've developed a bad rash on my thighs, buttocks, legs on my knees and behind my knees as well i also have it on my arms. The rash is red with small and large bumps is this a side effect cause it's the only thing i've taken or done differently. PLEASE ANSWER

I was on 50 mg Toprol for about five months when pressure went up...doctor put me on 100 mg. During the 50 mg time, I did gain some belly weight, extreme swelling of the ankles, and a feeling that my heart was beating too fast even though it wasn't. When I went to the 100 mg pill, within a week I have a rash all over...bumps that itch like crazy. I have noticed more chills...then a feeling like a hot flash. I am weaning myself off...four days of 50 mg, couple days of 25 mg, and now I'm even splitting that. My doctor told me to go right to another drug...Zestril. I'm going to try to wait a few days. Even though I am tapering off of Toprol, the rash is still here. Maybe it takes awhile for the Toprol to be completely out of system.

Swelling of craneal part, trembling all over inside body, small bumps like stings on head under hair

I have been on only 50mgs of Topamax for migraines and love what it has done for me. The only side effect that I have experienced that I do not see posted on here is that I get these purplish/red spots on my feet and bumps under the spots that have inceasingly gotten worse over the year that I have been on the drug. If anyone else has experienced this could you please notify me. ONe other has notified me with the same type of experience, and when she weaned herself off the topamax she got rid of the symptoms. Im in the process of weaning myself off, and the symptoms are slowly going away.....please let me know if you have experienced anything similiar!!!!

Went to a doctor about an issue and wanted to take a bacterial culture sample of the wound. When he got the results, he insisted that I should take 2 weeks worth of Levaquin.

I did so without any troubles, but since stopping the medicine, I've been extremely itchy practically all over my body. There's bumps, I suppose, but most of the itching is not related to the actual bumps. It just itches.. everywhere.

It's been about a week and a half with no change in the severity of the itching.

If this continues for months, someone will die.

Racing heart, broke out all over with large and small bumps. The bumps were itchy, and hurt to touch. I felt like I had a sun burn all over. It hurt to walk

I began taking this medicine today for a bladder infection and within 15-20 minutes I began to itch on my face. Two raised blotches appeared on my face. I also began itching on my chest and bumps appeared there as well. I thought a mosquito was in my office. I only have 2 more days to go, but I'm afraid to take more.

Does anyone know what percentage of women taking Yasmin experience the terrible side effects you all have here? I just began taking Yasmin a week and a half ago, and am now terrified! I woke up this morning with a rash-type thing all over my face, predominantly on my forehead. I thought at first that it was a serious breakout that had just occured overnight, but then I realized that the little bumps were almost like little blisters all over my face!! It looks like terrible acne and is red and hurts! Has anyone else experienced this? Should I switch already? What has been an overwhelmingly positive alternative pill for most of you all on here? SO glad I found this board! Thank you!

I was prescribed Sulfameth 4days ago for a Bladder Infection. The first hour after taking it, I started having a horrible burning irritation on the inner vaginal area. Afer the third day I continued to have that and swollen teary eyes, my tongue is swollen with little bumps,jawbone hurts,rashy itchy hands,swollen lips,Its been a full 24hrs so far from not taking this med and i am still having the effects. Hopefully it will all go away soon!!!!

Rash like bumps over body (like mosquito bites)

I was diagnoised with Kidney Cancer in March of 2005, and had a partial nephroectomy on 23rd day of March 2005. I was being given Ancef which is in the family of Levaquin.
A few days after my surgery while still in the hospital my back started itching , i told this to the nurse and she looked at my back and said i was broke out in hives , she phoned my dr. and he prescribed benadryl shots and allergy meds but nothing seemed to help, about the third day of being broken out and nothing was working that my Dr. had prescribed a dermatoligist was called in to the hospital , he prescribed different meds and a medicated lotion, still no releif.
My Dr. released me from hospital a few days later ,i still had hives on my back , and he prescribed Levaquin for me to take at home, my hives kept getting worse, by then they started at the back of my neck and was all the way down my back to the back of my knees and not just bumps ,but whelps that reached from side to side nothing i was taking or putting on them helped the itching or burning.
My daughter who is an RN had talked to the nurses that she worked with at the hospital and they all decided that it was the Levaquin that was causing the hives to stay , so i quit taking it ,and sure enough i quit breaking out but i had them so long that all of my skin where i had them felt like leather and the itching was horrible and miserable.
I went to my regular Dr after several days and told him about my skin and itching and he told me to buy some Eucerin lotion at Wal-Mart and my husband rubbed it on my back and the next day my skin started to heal.
I still am having outbreaks on my back and was wondering if anyone else has had or is having this problem?

Hi everyone,
I'm really worried that I haven't gotten my period yet. I am officially 9 days late. Someone please tell me if this is normal. I was on Yasmin for over 3 yrs. and have been off of it for 4 months. I got what I thought was my real period exactly on time for 3 months. I got it on the thurs. and it lasted until the sun. Now I didn't get it. It feels like I should get it at any time now. I have sore breasts, and I am breaking out like a teenager. However they aren't really zits, kinda more like bumps with clear liquid in them.

I'm wondering if I should take a pregnancy test or if this is normal. I have heard of people taking tests and having it read positive due to messed up hormones as well which would really scare me more. I'm kinda freakin out. My boyfriend and I have been using condoms and there weren't any accidents, but I can't figure out why it hasn't come yet. Was the past 3 months just my fake period or what?

Thanks,
Hill

bumps in the groin area and itchy vagina and very dry.

I was put on levaquin from my doctor for what they thought was strep. After a day i got bumps all over my hands and feet, & they itch like crazy. Turns out i have mono and when you have mono after taking levaquin it makes your hands and feet break out.

I've taken lisinopril for a couple years. A few weeks ago I started having problems with swollen throat and nasal voice. It quickly progressed to swollen/numb/tingly face, tongue and lips. Also, the skin on my chin and around my mouth is somewhat bumpy as well (numerous small skin colored bumps) and sometimes the skin in that area will feel like it's on fire.

After a couple weeks of these symptoms my doctor decided it was a reaction to the lisinopril and took me off. She thought it would take 2-3 weeks for the medication to get out of my system (I see from some of your emails that that number may be a low estimate). It's been almost 2 weeks and I see absolutely no improvement (may be somewhat worse actually).

I've seen some warnings that lisinopril may make a bad allergic reaction more likely. What I'm starting to wonder is if I have a different allergy (food, etc) that lisinopril may have been making worse. Has anyone had an experience like this? My doctor doesn't want to do anything else until I hit the magic 3 wk point, but I'm completely miserable (difficult to talk or eat) and can't imagine spending many more weeks like this. If she's on the wrong track then we'll be starting over at that point...
