Burns symptoms and conditions

Your stories makes me feel much better. I've been battling with yeast infections on and off for the last five months. It's been scary and frustrating. Surprisingly I've been on NuvaRing for about 3 years and these symptoms have just begun to be a problem but they won't stop until the ring is out and my period starts. I've tried everything, I've changed soaps, changed to lube without parabens, stopped wearing cute underwear, started showering twice a day, and have used several types of over-the counter's. I've treated with so many over-the-counter creams for yeast infections that I'm getting concerned about what all that fungicide might do in the long run. They usually work but then the yeast infection will return. I think perhaps the NuvaRing may affect the chemistry inside the vagina making it more susceptible to yeast infections once one occurs. This has negatively affected my sex life with my fiance because sex stings and burns and I always get a yeast infection, I'd rather avoid it all together. I was going to go to the OBGYN and beg for Diflucan but from a previous post similar to my situation it may just be another temporary fix. I've never tried the pill but I'm going to switch this month and see if the yeast infections finally go away.

Hi
I first used the ring 3 years ago when i got married. ever since then, I've had extreme pain upon penetration. Basically, we haven't had intercourse for 3 years. My vagina burns like crazy, like sand paper every time my husband penetrates. I also haven't menstruated in 3 years. So far, doctors have not been able to treat the problem. I am going to an endocrinologist now who will prescribe hormones short term for my period. Has anyone had a similar experience? I would appreciate any feedback, advice, doctors, etc.

I started taking Doxycycline about 11 days ago for cystic acne. 7 days into the medication I have red rosacea splotches ALL over my face. It's unsightly, burns, and peels constantly. I'd rather have the acne, thank you...!

I've been on the nuvaring since march and it has work pretty good for me. It has cleared up my acne, i just have a few bumps here and there when my cycle is on.it also has my cycle a lot shorter. I have been having pains in my hip and knees to the point where i don't want to do anything but lay in bed all day, it use to been all the time but now it pain only when my cycle comes on and a week or two after it ends. Recently I just started to get real bad migraines,tiredness, nausea and numbness in my legs from time to time. sometimes my legs give out on me. Also i started to itch and i been scratching to the point where i have cuts and its burns when use the bathroom.

Hi I'm 19 years old, I've been on the NuvaRing for about 4 months now and I'm taking it out this weekend to switch to the pill. I loved the convenience of it and not having to worry about taking a pill everyday and it was always comfortable. But I've noticed in the past 3 months or so that all I do is sleep! I've experienced the worst fatigue of my life and I've been really depressed for no reason and have no interest in doing anything which is not myself at all. I've had crazy mood swings where I'll be screaming or crying one second then laughing the next, absolutely no sex drive and always dry during sex, every little thing irritates me, i'm always hungry but have only gained about 5-10 lbs, I'm bloated, my skin is always itchy and extreme vaginal itching, I've had a yeast infection, a urinary tract infection and bacterial vaginosis all in one month of using NR, and I've noticed I've been stuttering here and there as well? I was always recommending the NR to my friends because of it's convenience but after reading this I realize that all of my symptoms are due to NR and I do not recommend this anymore!

ive been on Yasmin for about 3 years now because it clears up mah acne...but now i don't know if it's good for me. the first side effect ive noticed about a year after was that i get really burnt when i go out in the sun... and this is even with sunscreen! i get red rashes and my face gets swollen... at the time i thought that was just heat rash and didn't think much of it. now about 3 yrs later, i got a really really bad sunburn which resulted in huge blisters, and this scares me. I used sunscreen and my doctors said it couldn't have been just the sun so they are still trying to figure out what caused the burn...however after reading this thread im starting to think that Yasmin was the cause of it coz i never used to get sunburn before i started taking the pill... i grew up in a place where its Summer for almost a whole year so its really crazy to think that i would get burnt this much just for staying out in the sun! this past year ive also started gaining weight and now my sex drive is just gone... i thought it was me but i couldn't understand why that would be...now it all make sense...

I started taking Doxycycline Hyclate for an infection....i had been taking it for about 4 days.....one night i take the medicine and i go to sleep.....i wake up the following day with the painful and disturbing sensation that something was stuck in my throat.....and drinking a lot of water to make it go away was in vain......in a couple of days i had trouble eating and drinking and also breathing - i felt burns in the upper back...constant pain.....so I just stopped taking them.....After a couple of days i go back to my doctor and try to explain all the symptoms and try to tell him that i think that it has to do with the medicine that he prescribed....he cuts me off "No, that,s not possible, the medicine I prescribed was for something else!" .....ok ....so I'm thinking "he's the doctor, he knows better, after all he went to school for that!!!!" ....so instead of actually listening to all my symptoms he takes blood test to see what is the cause of my pain; an infection? the liver? etc. etc..........and then at night I come home, I google the side effect of Doxycycline Hyclate and see that I am not crazy...that this happened to a lot of people and that I NEED TO CHANGE MY DOCTOR!!!! Oh, by the way, the doctor prescribed me Propoxyphene-N 100W/APAP (some pain relievers) and told me to take them 10 days without stopping even if the pain goes away!!!!!??????!!!!!!?????!!!!........................L.

i have been on neurontin for nerve pain in my legs due to vasculitis for a few weeks now. i have only noticed a small increase in appetite. my eyesite seems to be out of focus, but its so bad anyway that i have no idea if its the neurontin or just my eyes, and minor headaches i had no pain relief either........absolutely no improvement at all. my doctor just raised my dose from 900 mgs a day to 1200 the other day. still no pain relief but i am now getting a bit dizzy. i guess we will see what happens!

Amazing! Just now I decided to check on Lisinopril side effects.
Imagine my surprise when I found the first posting described me!!
Morning cough, persistent runny nose, left ear problems!!!
Also have the dizziness and faint feeling on occasion.
Have been on Lisinopril-hctz 20 for two years and my symptoms have suddenly gotten worse with headaches.

I appreciate the information this site has provided and DO BELIEVE.

I was placed on Pred. in November for vasculitis. I was given 20mg for about 7 days, then cortisone for several days, with great results. Then the vasculitis came back, to nip it in the bud, the doctor gave me 10 mg of Pred. which I took for 5 days, no step down. Now I have a very irritated tongue... red, inflamed, hard to eat, burns constantly. This is the only new med I have taken in months, so it has to be the Pred.

Metallic taste after using the TOPICAL form! I stopped using it five days ago but still have the taste and sometimes my tongue burns.

My son became soo aggressive 3 days after starting Singulair, that he was almost banned from soccer for life because of attacking another player on the field. It resembled what I had heard of 'roid rage'. When I questioned the doctor immediately, was told there was no connection. After months of the aggression, then came depression and self mutilation. My 15 yr old was secretly burning himself to 'punish' himself for things he done wrong or "disappointing" those around him. He now has permanent scars all over his arms from these burns. The depression took to drug abuse and my A student fell to an F student in 6 weeks. He completely lost his will to live and thrive. After 4 months of hell, the dr informed us that the FDA just warned physicians of this side effect. Im furious now that I read through the court documents and find that the drug company knew this all along. I know I am a luckier parent than some whose children committed suicide, but still wish that the FDA would get off their BUTTS and do something to take this drug off the market. I was told by a rep at the FDA that Merck will not take it off the shelf until they're made to because even if they had to pay parents millions for their child's suicide, they would still be pocketing more profit than our children's lives are worth in the court system. Not sure WHY we even HAVE an FDA, they won't do anything to protect us from these money hungry drug companies. A YEAR to do an 'INVESTIGATION" are you kidding me? If the CEO of Merck had to bury his child, it would come off the shelf THAT DAY.

i got the shot and the first shot i got was last summer
then i noticed a couple weeks later that i had like 5 warts on my right knee and one on my right pointer finger
so i got an appt to get them froze off then about a month later i got 5 more on my right pointer finger and 2 on my left pointer finger then it took a long time to get in to the doctors then i finally got them off them about 3 months ago i noticed lots of warts on my right knee and they were pretty small i counted about 20 to 30 and i saw some bump on my left elbow and thought it was a bug bite but it never went away then i got an appt and got my the warts on my knees froze off and i showed the doctor the thing on my elbow and he told me it was a wart and that there were 2 more growing and now i just got them off about 2 weeks ago and 3 more warts are growing on my right pointer finger i never had so many problems with warts until i got the Gardasil shot and every time i get them froze off or burnt off they keep coming back i know thats what it is that stupid Gardasil shot that hurts so bad when you get it and burns and causes soooo many things

I'm taking Doxycycline 100mg 5x/day. Started a little over 2 weeks ago for Chronic Lyme. I have a 4 month course to complete.
In the past 14 years after that tick got me I was the living dead, those with Chronic Lyme know what I mean. I have virtually the same side effects as everyone else here and wonder if it even matters how much you take a day. A lot of you have the same doses (100mg 2x/day) and the same degree of side effects as I do. My side effects are headaches or a pain in my right temple whenever I cough, severe itching EVERYWHERE, blisters on my hands from itching, burns on my skin wherever the sun shines on me (I live in Florida), vomiting daily some days worse than others, mood swings, crying for nothing, nausea almost constantly, gassy (both ends), I have a bladder infection that started 2 days ago that after reading this can be attributed to the Doxy, asthma symptoms are getting out of hand, I also have this odd swelling/pain over my liver/gall bladder area that's been coming and going, ears ring, noise bothers me and actually starts a headache, diarrhea the first week and constipation the second week, skin feels tight and there's noticeable swelling all over.

With that said I want to say that yes this is not one of the more pleasant drugs to be on however in my case if I don't get these bugs out of me I am going to die so would rather deal with side effects knowing these bugs are being killed and I will be off them someday unlike the Lyme I will have for eternity. Lyme people and other chronically ill people on these meds say this is called "herxing" and this comes and goes also. You feel really bad and then you feel good, then bad and then good again and so on. I started out on this drug keeping in mind that any sikness/side effect was telling me those bugs are dying so in a sense I almost welcome them.

Good luck everyone:)

I have to say the nuvaring has been pretty good for me. I am so thankful not to have had any major side effects from it. For a very long time I was not given any Bc that had hormones because my mom had a stroke from estrogen in the BC pill. It was in the 70's and MUCH higher doses of estrogen were in the pill. But anything with estrogen was off limits to me. I was in the need of some form of BC after 10 years not being sexually active.My husband died of cancer and was not dating until 10 years later. I went for BC counseling and the doc. recommended the Nuvaring. yes it has a tiny bit of estrogen but sh was not worried. I also complained that my period was always so heavy I had to wear the depends underwear because if I didn't I would have to change a tampon or a pad every 8-10 minutes. And I had extreme cramps so bad they went down the front of my legs. She was like "have I got a deal for you'! Well... she put me on the nuva ring and had me change it every 28 days no break in between. Result: NO PERIOD! I love that woman. Ok on to the side effects...I had spotting for like 3 months here and there, The first few months I lost a clump of hair to the side of my part by my forehead..it grew back..I get leg cramps every once in a while and they are doosies (sore for 2 days after) If I forget to remove it during sex my vagina burns after. and yes I have more wetness in my vagina. My b/f jokes it is I just think about him too much! Ladies to all of you that have the terrible side effects my heart goes out to you. I hope you find the BC that works for you. Keep trying others there will be a good fit for you sooner or later.

I had been taking bactrim for a week when one morning i woke up feeling achy, tired, and light-headed. I noticed a slight rash forming on my arms but didn't think much of it bc i had been on the Bactrim for a week already. Then the symptoms got wayyyyy worse. I started to form lesion like sores on my vagina, and I immediately saw a doctor to get tested for STD's. The gyno examined the area, and she said it did not look like herpes but that she would test for it just in case. She put me on augmentin bc she said I definitely had some sort of infection down there. After taking 4 doses of augmentin almost all the lesions went away. The STD tests (blood, culture, and urine) all came up negative, as I expected they would. Has anyone else had genital reactions to bactrim???? Because as of right now the doctors are unsure what caused this outbreak/infection.

I'm so glad this it's not just my imagination. I have been taking Doxycycline for almost two weeks for ance, always after a meal. Last night I woke up with sudden nausea and and tremendous dryiness all over my mouth and throat. It was very weird and overwhelming! Also, I'm experiencing a constant burning sensation on my skin. Right on my back, my arms, and around my eyes. If feels like a combination between irritaion and ichiness. I'm suppose to take for two months. Hopefully, it be worthed...

I use the albuterol and ipratropium bromide vials with my nebulizer machine and experience the following......
Uncontrollable muscle spasms in hands and feet, heart races and palpitations,sometimes my throat is sore or even a slight burning sensation in the back of my throat from usage,my tongue burns and I have gotten little white bumps that are sore on it like you get when you have had too much salt,irritability,sleep loss,chills,etc. Works great at keeping my lungs open to breath tho! I read tho, that it can "cause" you to get COPD? Is there any truth to this?

I've been on Levaquin 500mg for almost a week. All of a sudden I have pain in my right arm, mainly from my shoulder to my elbow. It kind of aches/burns. I also have some pain behind my right knee and in my middle to lower back. Are these side effects of Levaquin? I didn't have any of this until I started taking this medication. I have a call into the doctor, hopefully something will help the discomfort.

I HAVE BEEN ON YAZ FOR A MONTH NOW, WELL I AM FIXING TO TAKE MY 1ST INACTIVE PILL TOMORROW. FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS I HAVE JUST HAD AN AWFUL SMELL TO ME DOWN THERE, I AM A VERY CLEAN PERSON. NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE & IT IS JUST SOO STRONG I CANT GET RID OF IT. & I'VE BEEN HAVING AWFULLY BAD DISCHARGE.. HAS ANY ONE ELSE ON YAZ HAD THIS PROBLEM? I THINK I AM GOING TO STOP TAKING IT FOR A MONTH AND SEE IT THATS IT!

Three days after using Drithocreme my face sweeled up and, my cheeks turned beet red...It also burns...My Doctor said I might have gotten some on my face accidently while sleeping.

I was told to wash my hands thoroughly and, apply creme..

It's going on my second day...

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.

I've been taking Doxy for a week now (100mg 2x daily) for epididomytis. The second day of taking the med I woke up with terrible heartburn. I thought that the med burned a hole in my lower esophagus from from taking the med late the night before. I have had nausia once for a few hours, though the worst side-effect is the terrible chest pain as I swallow or take deep breaths. It feels like I am swallowing a golf ball and it is stuck about 3/4 of the way down. Occasionally it feels like it is trying to come back up. I too have had some excess gas. I hope this stuff really works without causing long term side effects.

I've been on the ring for 2 weeks, living hell and irrational decisions sums it up. Not to mention I can totally feel the ring during sex, it almost feels like my vag is on fire it burns so bad. It has increased by appetite rapidly and my boobs are so sore I can barely stand it without a bra. In the beginnning I had cold chills in my home where it is AC the others in the house were burning up were as I was in a hoodie under a blanket during summer. I have no motivation to do anything for myself anymore, I feel hopeless. I'm about to take this damn thing out. You should take yours out as well.
Take care.

I am having tingling burning sensation in my feet, legs and hands and arms. My blood pressure was not improving on 5 mg so I upped it to 10 and those symptoms are much worse. The tingling sensation goes all the way up my left arm and up above my knees on my legs.

I have tried to take the Lisinipril before and stopped for these same reasons. My doctor does not seem to think that it is due to the Lisinipril. so I tried it again and the burning, burning sensation is driving me crazy and keeping me awake. I have to get up and stand in cold water for a while to get some relief.

I have not read about anyone with the same symptoms. Does anyone out there have these symptoms??
