Change clothes symptoms and conditions

Last night I bought 2 new shirts, was completely disgusted with my stomach and mid section. I had went to the doctor about 2 weeks ago for a cold, and when I was weighed, I had gained about 10 lbs in a month. I am completely disgusted with my stomach. I had a pooch down there since having my baby, but she is 19 mos now and since I had it inserted in April, I feel like a growing marshmellow. Sometimes I cant stand to even have my husband see me change clothes. Im about 195 lbs now...almost my PREGNANCY weight and I hate to get it taken out now since I just had it put in - in April. Also I have NO SEX DRIVE. My husband complains about it constantly and Im so tired all the time, I'm always saying how I could fall asleep. I keep attributing it to having a 19 mo old and working full time, but she sleeps through the nights now and I'm always tired. I've also had several dizzy spells that I can not explain. I'm going to keep reading these comments and it seems like I may have found what my problem is! Thanks for the help. I should have done my research before I went through the pain of having it put in. That would have been smart right?

I have a daughter diagnosed DD that was prescribed Prednisone 20 mg. twice a day for seven days for skin allergies. She could only tolerate taking this medication for TWO DAYS without serious side effects. She developed a rash, profuse sweating on both her hands and had to change clothes several times a day for a week due to excessive sweating. She had swelling on her ankles. She developed catatonia that was diagnosed by her personal psychiatrist due to the Prednisone and has been told to NEVER take Prednisone again because she is allergic to this medication.

antiyasmin-

I took Yasmin in October, Nuvaring in November, then switched back to Yasmin because of all the awful side effects I had with the nuvaring. The first week on it was ok, then I got this headache that was pretty severe, almost to the point it was hard to function. Nothing at all would take the headache away. It lasted for 3 full weeks. In that time I also had dizzy spells and chest pains. I took myself off it and decided to go on yasmin because the only side effect at the time was that I was more emotional than usual, I did not have any headaches with Yasmin and that was a plus for me!
after just two more months on Yasmin it felt like all hell broke loose. I felt I was losing my mind. Every moment of every day I felt like something was wrong with me (tumor, cancer, etc...) I also had these syptoms:

severe pain on the left side of my back below my ribcage
tender stomach with everything I ate
abdominal cramps
headaches
blurry vision
constant need to urinate, with slight occasional burning
shakiness
lightheadedness
extreme night sweats (had to change clothes once or twice)
muscle weakness
earaches
tight chest
when breathing it felt like I was in the cold and had to cough
mood swings, feeling in a numb state of mind with a low sex drive then switching to being very hyper with a high sex drive
the list goes on....

I went of Yasmin January 21st and so far things are good, I have a mild headache in the mornings but after working out it goes away, I get little dizzy spells once and a while, and really short panic attacks like I am forgetting to do something. Overall everything seems to be going back to normal. I'm going to the gyno tomorrow to see what other options I have for BC. I may just have to stick with the rubbers!

Hey Everyone! Today is a wonderful day. like others in this forum, my last pill was on Saturday, Since then I've had my period which was not too bad, really thick but not too painful. Had a few headaches but my complexion is better than ever, I feel somewhat normal, I finally had a full nights sleep last night. I've had to get up and change clothes every night because I sweat so much, It feels like my heart rate is actually slowing down and I am more aware of my surroundings. It's great. I still have the sense that my chest is tight and my throat is somewhat closed off but besides that I am a happier person and am excited to be alive! U an very convinced that BC methods in general are all poisonous, not just Yasmin. I am constructing a list of all BC's I've been on and all the syptoms. I was always healthy as a child and never got sick until college. Well, I finally made the connection that I started getting sick after I started the BC. Stupid me! Why did I ever start it! Anyways, things are good, and I'm sure will get better, keep your chins up everyone.

Oh yeah, I think that there is a correlation with how long it takes to get over the syptoms and how long you have actually been on the pill. for me it's been less than a year and things are disappearing quickly.

Number 13 was the only one my doctor couldn't attribute directly to Prednisone.

Today I can add another to my list of side effects. My feet and ankles have swollen up huge.

A girl in the store yesterday said I looked very tired and unwell. People at work notice lots of the symptoms.

All this because of an acute asthma attack caused by other people smoking.

I've reduce the dosage by 5mg today and yesterday down from 50mg to 45mg and today I'm having a harder time breathing. Where does this all end?

It's all very depressing indeed.

I've started experiencing frequent nose bleeds after
taking Prilosec 3-4 times a week for the last 6 months.

After doing a web search for "frequent nose bleeds",
there are a lot of hits for "mold", but I am positive that
that is not the case in my situation.

If anyone else has been experiencing frequent nose
bleeds after using Prilosec, I would appreciate hearing from
them.

I have taken two Pletal as directed..one last evening on an empty stomach and one this morning on an empty stomach. This afternoon "Suddenly" I was HIT with diarrhea out in public..NO warning. Again and again before I could get home to change clothes..and then a headache. I have a painful, swollen stomach, headache and will not be taking anymore pletal for my sjogrens symptoms (cold, numb hands and feet).

I have been taking Levaquin for 5 days after being diagnosed with a lung infection (likely bronchitis). I had been prescribed Biaxin (Erythromicin) previously, but my lung infection only got worse. The Levaquin has been great and has completely cleaned up my lungs. The only noticeable side effects have been very bad night sweats (have to change clothes 2 or three times a night) and diminished sense of smell. I would highly recommend Levaquin to anyone who has badly congested lungs - it was great.
