Chase symptoms and conditions

My 3rd child was born in November of 2008, because I'm very fertile (having 3 children in less than 3 years) and not sure if I'm completely done, but not wanting any more any time soon, I opted for Mirena. I didn't want to deal with Depo because of the constant stories of weight gain, so Mirena sounded great. I hate taking pills because I'm forgetful. Anyway January of 2009 at my 9 week check up I had the Mirena put in...within a month my periods were virtually non existent, some of it could be due to breast feeding, but I still pretty much have no periods. Last month however I went in to the ob/gyn to have him check some pains I'm having in my lower abdomen, an ultrasound confirmed cysts (i read the tech type this out) and then the doc lied and told me there weren't any. Before Mirena, I had gone down to 175 lbs within a month of having my son thanks to weight watchers, after Mirena weight watchers wasnt working. So I quit paying for it so I of course gained back 10 lbs. I'm still eating less than 1500 calories a day, I chase 3 kids around all day, eat decently, don't exercise a whole lot but still don't sit on my butt all day and weigh about 190 lbs. If I even consider eating a piece of pizza I gain weight. This is ridiculous. My doc said he'd remove it if I continue to have pains because that usually helps, well that just one of many reasons I'm calling as soon as Im done typing here. I'm tired, my face is worse than it was in high school, I wear my husbands clothes all day, my wedding ring won't come off, I snap at everyone for everything, I'm sad, and I'm fat too boot. I would love to get back down to pre-pregnancy before the third baby 172lbs, but no matter what I do it doesn't work. Hopefully after removing this thing I can lose that and then some. I'll actually want to work out and have sex again! Not to mention have the desire to play with my kids rather than chase after them and fuss at them for everything they do.

I am is a chase to figure out what is wrong with me. I had the Mirena placed at thanksgiving. Starting in December I continue to get swollen lips. I thought that it was the weather but they continue to happen and I am religious with anything and everything you could put on your lips. They hurt and are red and swollen. I am also having lower back pain on my right side right above my but that does not go away. I have had a mri, see a back doctor and all have told me there is no reason for the pain. I have called my OB she treats me as if I am crazy and says it has nothing to do with my female parts. I think from reading all of this I am having it removed. I hope some of this weird stuff goes away.

TOPROL XL 25mg (43yr old white male)

I went to the dentist where they took my blood pressure (180/95). they suggested seeing my medical doctor. my doctor started me on 50mg to get the pressure down. the first three or four days I felt like I had run 1000 miles everyday, I was so fatigued. I called the doctor and told him and asked if I could cut them in half (they have a cut line on them). I have now been taking 25mg for about year maybe a year and half (time flys). I am still fatigued but not as badly, I am over-weight by 30-40lbs and I also smoke. additonally, my knees "ACHE", my calves ache and most recently my right hip and my wrists and forearms are aching (like carple tunnel of something). Finally, my indigestion is back (after starting toprol that kind of subsided for several months). I have just been passing it off as getting older and having to chase two small children around.

after reading some of your posts, I wonder if it's not the toprol causing the fatigue, joint pain and the return of my acid-reflux.

I am sitting here typing and my knees are screaming, right now!

has anyone else experienced all these symptoms?

Let me just begin by thanking all of the women who took the time to make these effects known. I am 31 years old and have been taking Yasmin for two years since the birth of my son. I have been suffering with horrible side effects such as neck and shoulder pain, heart palpitations, chest pains,(and I have a heart murmur) dehydration, dizziness, nauseau, dark spots on my skin, intense depression, anxiety,and mood swings, and disabling headaches a week before and the week of my period. I reported these to my doctor and he perscribed migraine medication (which did not work) and Xanax which I cannot take if I want to be able chase my son around. I tried to tell my doctor that it was the pill, but he disagreed and told me to just skip the inactive pills and try to see if that helpped the headaches, which he called "menstrual migraines." It only made everything worse. Why are doctors pushing this pill????Why do they refuse to connect these effects with it? Now that I have found this site, I know I'm not crazy, but poisoned. I am now divorced b/c I did not have a very understanding husband. I am stopping today, with the hopes of regaining some of my life back.

I have been taking Neurontin 800mg for nerve damage in my right lower leg and upper left arm for multiple gun shot wounds. It burns when taking also cuts down the pain but kills my sex drive and have me drowsy and have to chase it with coffee to go on about my day.

2,000 one day put me in the ER with a Meniere's vertigo attack with sweats. just terrible. It took meclizine to chase it. I have since weaned myself from it. also had flushing.

Taken Lipitor for 4 years, 20mg.
Along with the muscular pains I've noticed an attitude change in my work. I am a self employed engineer, and attention to detail is essential. Nowadays, I can hardly be bothered to chase up a job, especially if it involves travel. I make mistakes more often (like connectiong 240VAC to a 24VDC device!) and I lose my temper more easily.

Been off the tablets for 2 days due to a mistake in ordering my repeat. I actually feel slightly more human in that short time! Problem is I dare not stop taking them.

On the physical side, if I remain in a position for any length of time, I have to carefully un-knot myself when I move, or the pain is horrible.

Great eh?
