Cavities symptoms and conditions

7-18-2008
I HAD THE DEPO LUPRON SHOT IN 2004 FOLLOWING A LAP. AFTER THE FIRST SHOT (A 1 MONTH) FAILED MY DR. GAVE ME A 3 MONTH SHOT, IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING I HAD SEVERE JOINT PAIN, INDIGESTION, COUGH, DEPRESSION, DIZZINESS, HOT FLASHES PLUS A LOT MORE. AFTER 2 MONTHS I DEVELOPED A LUMP IN MY BREAST, MY DR GAVE ME ESTROGEN (THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO BE USED TOGETHER. I WENT ALMOST INSANE!!! NOW 4 YEARS LATER MY TEETH ARE GETTING CAVITIES IM 37 AND HAD MY FIRST ON AT 35.
MY JOINTS ARE VERY PAINFUL I LIVE ON ALEIVE AND IBUPROPHAN.
MY DOCTORS SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY JOINTS (GO FIGURE). TO AN ONE WHO IS THINKING OF THIS SHOT FOR ANY RX DON'T.

I had Mirena put in five days ago. I have had cramping off and on. I finally did a complete workout on my pilates reformer and did just fine. I have yet to see what having sex with my husband is like with this thing in me. I am a little scared about pain. I do feel bloated. I will keep everyone up to date on how I am doing. I sure wish I had come across this website before I decided to put this in.

May 2006 I stopped taking Yasmin after being on it for a few years. I was having bad sinus congestion, sinus pressure, headaches and post nasal drip but never thought it was because of Yasmin. I went to a ENT doctor and the tissue in my sinsus cavities was so inflamed he recommended surgery. I also had a deviated septum and bone spur which were corrected. After the surgery (August 2006) I felt great. I exercise A LOT and it was now so much easier because I could breathe without all the fluid buildup. I kept thinking what a miracle the surgery was. March 2007 I started taking Ortho-tricyclen and quickly gained 10lbs in 2 months. I also had mood swings mostly feeling down. But I was still able to run and exercise more than I had in many years. March 2008 I went in for my annual exam and after mentioning my side effects from Ortho-tricyclen my doctor recommended going back on Yasmin since it had worked before. Two days after starting Yasmin my sinus problems and headaches returned. I was so low on energy and my chest felt tight. The only good thing is that I lost my appetite and in one month I lost 7 of the 10 lbs I gained on Ortho. I stopped taking Yasmin this past weekend in the middle of a pack. I am feeling better and have not had a headache this week. I was also able to run yesterday which felt so good. I hadn’t exercised in a month because of my lack of energy and difficulty breathing. Had I not been on it before I would have thought this was just a bad allergy season. I am convinced Yasmin was the cause of all my sinus problems and headaches.

Fluoride supplements put children six and under at significant risk of permanently discolored teeth, according to a review of studies recently posted on the American Dental Association’s (ADA) web site in their new section, “evidence-based dentistry,” for dentists and their patients. (1)

Fluoride supplements, in graduating amounts up to 1 mg daily, are often prescribed to children who don’t drink fluoridated water, ostensibly to reduce tooth decay.

“This review confirmed that in non-fluoridated communities the use of fluoride supplements during the first 6 years of life is associated with a significant increase in the risk of developing dental fluorosis, write researchers Ismail & Bandekar and first published in Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, February 1999, (2) but posted to the ADA’s website July 2007.

Fluoride ingestion, once thought to reduce cavities, can lead to dental fluorosis – white spotted, yellow, brown and/or pitted tooth enamel. Modern science indicates fluoride absorbs into tooth enamel topically, primarily.(3)

Studies link dental fluorosis to children’s kidney damage (4) and bone fractures (5).

The ADA and Centers for Disease Control recently advised that fluoridated water should not be mixed into concentrated infant formula, in order to decrease dental fluorosis risk – now a growing U.S. problem. (6)

Never safety-tested by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) (7), fluoride supplements do more harm than good.(8)

“While fluoride is proclaimed a significant cavity reducer, there is little, if any, science to support that," says lawyer Paul Beeber, President, New York State Coalition Opposed to Fluoridation.

A National Institutes of Health 2001 news release supports Beeber's assertion: "... the (NIH) panel was disappointed in the overall quality of the clinical data that it reviewed. According to the panel, far too many studies were small, poorly described, or otherwise methodologically flawed." (9) Over 560 studies evaluated fluoride among those reviewed by the NIH Consensus Development Program panel for the Diagnosis and Management of Dental Caries.

Recent research shows that fluoridation delivers risks with little, if any, benefit.(10)

My mother has been on Advair for her COPD for about three years. Over the last year she has had to have two crowns and 6 cavities filled. Prior to using Advair, she went years without any dental problems. I can't find any info on dental decay being a side effect with Advair use. Has anyone else had these problems?

ive searched for this side effect all over the internet without success, because when i was prescribed propoxy after out-patient surgery..it was fine for the first week and dulled the pain considerabley...but after about 2 weeks of use there was blood in my urine and stool and my eyes and nose would drip blood every now and then...it still has gone un-explained, and my docter wont call me back .. i cant get a hold of my medical records at all either...this is becoming a serious issue and some one needs to explain to me why im bleeding from numerous cavities in my body...i still bleed even though i have stopped taking propoxy for a month now...im starting to get scared because no docters will take my story seriously...
if anyone has side-effects close to mine post a messedge so we can stop being neglected by docters!!

I have been using neurontin after a fall (5yrs ago) which left me with extreme back, neck and head pain. I really couldn't stand the way it made me feel because they also had me on Motrin, as well a host of other pain relievers, did some epidural & lumbar injections, etc. So I took it less frequently than was origibally prescribed. I have been noticing that my teeth often hurt and they definitely have been moving. Causes severe headaches and face pain. My bite is now off. Recently, I've been getting awful headaches compounded by a strong car sick/dizziness that lasts for days. My teeth, although no visible damage such as cavities, discolorization, are extremely sensitive and have moved so much that I often bite the sides of my mouth, etc. I've heard recently that neurontin sometimes cause mouth/teeth pain and such. Is it possible that this was all caused by the neurontin, and how do I correct it. Is it too late or will not taking it at all reverse the damage?

My almost 7 yr old has been on Singulair since he was 4. He was first diagnosed w/ allergies at 3 1/2 after having 3 sets of tubes, several episodes of pneumonia & bronchiospams. He was put on Pannaz (aka Blues Clues medicine since it's a bright blue color) first and has been on it the whole time just increasing the dose as he's grown. We added the Singulair when he got to the point of playing, coughing, gagging & puking. These 2 meds combined have done wonders for him! We've tried using 2 other meds in replacement of the Pannaz and he started the whole coughing, runny nose bit after 3 weeks.

My 4 1/2 yr old was put on Singulair last fall, Extendryl & QVar (for asthma) in March. He hasn't had the ear infections that my other son had, but he had the virus that turned bacterial and then microplasmic all in 1 1/2 weeks, the pneumonia, the bronchiospasms ~ we haven't used neb treatments since March.

For us, these combinations work wonders!

And about the cavities post I read, my kids just went to the dentist on Tuesday for their yearly check up and all are cavity free. They don't floss either. So I can't say that I've noticed a correlation between using Singulair and cavities.

I have a six year old son who has asthma. He has been taking singulair and Flovent every day for 4 years. He also has a lot of the side effects that I see listed on this site. I was wondering if anyone with children taking Singulair have more cavities than their other children. My son with astham is the youngest of four child and last week we found out he had four cavities. One was so bad he needed root canal. Fortunately, these were all baby teeth. My destist said it is because he does not floss since the cavities started between teeth. Most moms I spoke to said their kids do not floss and never had a cavity! I'm just wondering if there is a connection between cavities and Singulair

I have been talking Levoxyl for years. I had my whole thyroid
removed in 99 with a precancerous nodule. For years
I have had trouble with concentration -- always feeling
kind of "out of it," "zombie -like," but just since about
September I have felt very bad. I have noticed this bad
feeling begins bout an hour or so after I take
my med.

I began in Sept on 88 mcg, then went to 100mcg,
then to 112, and then to 125. I cut myself back to 112
because with 125 I was so so so tired, and cried with
strange anxiety every day. Since cutting back to 112, I don't feel a lot better. During the day I feel to tired to do anything,
and I have lost my interest, personality, and sense-of-humor.
But, on days when I completely skip my med. I feel soo
good, but I can't do that two days in a row b/c then I feel
worse. Also, at my last dentist visit, I had 3 cavities and
I brush my teeth twice a day, every day.

I have another apt. tomorrow (with my specialist).
I hope he can fix me.
I have suggested Armour and Cytomel many times,
but he always says "this is rare that anyone needs to take
these" I hate feeling this way. I want to feel like everyone
else so bad, I just feel like I never will. It is very debilitating.
I have recently graduated from college and I feel like
an old woman -- too tired and bad to go after my career
goals.

Write back anyone that feels this way too.

Incontinence. Extreme. Increase in cavities (5 within a year).
Shortness and tightness of breath.

Ever since I began taking Levoxyl over 5 years ago, I have been getting a LARGE number of cavities and I've heard that decaying teeth is a side effect, is that true?
