My husband has been taking Lipitor for a year. Several weeks after he started taking it he had muscle aches and when he went for a follow-up we discussed this concern and the neurologist said that it was ok and would go away. He had a stroke several years before and had some damage and he was tired. He complained about him getting weaker and his muscles hurting, he has left shoulder and arm pain. His chest hurts on the right side and doctors told him that he has inflammation between the muscle and chest wall but it has not cleared up after many months and meds. He is so weak now and is dropping things. He has some muscle twitching. I think it is from the Lipitor because the symptoms started after he was put on this drug. Doctor says that it is very unlikely..Has anyone else had these problems while taking Lipitor???

I've been happily enjoying the freedom of Mirena since February 06. However over the last six months I've had chest pain, sometimes severe, and shortness of breath. Been to the lung doctor who was alarmed the pain was not in the chest wall. Just short of going for the chest x-ray I thought...hmm...I wonder if this is an IUD side effect. Sure enough, I should call my doctor immediately upon having this pain. Well, good to know. I'll be calling my doctor tomorrow morning.
I also am enlightened by all the severe anxiety reports - I thought I was going a bit nutty over the last six months with anxiety and panic attacks, sleeplessness and worry - but now I'm thinking my Mirena honeymoon is over. Almost three years of blissful birth control, with only crazzzzy side effects for the last six months. Try it, maybe it will work for you, but as you go along, check in with that nice long list of potential side effects, so you can choose wisely about what you're trading for your free love experiences...

I was prescribed Ultracet/Tramadol to manage pain from a MVA. It relieved the immense pain in my back and the chest wall with good effect. I was also feeling euphoric and helped to relieve anxious mood, aside from negative side affects of itchiness, slight dizziness,and diarreah. I tried to stop taking this medication in fear of becoming dependent. The day after, I noticed my mood changing, feeling anxious, restless, and depressed. I think I will stop taking it, if I can manage my pain.

I have been on the NuvaRing for about 6 months or so and have not experienced any real significant symptoms until this week. Wednesday night I had pain that started in my left leg. It was sharp, tingling, radiating pain that ran up and down my leg. The pain then went to my chest. The pain was a burning, sharp pain and I felt a lot of pressure in my entire chest wall; the pain extended all the way to my back and it go worse when I breathed in. This chest pain lasted for about 15-20 minutes. Then, it sort of became intermittent--it would leave, and come back and then leave and come back. Eventually it completely went away, but I was scared so I went to the ER to be assessed. My admitting blood pressure was 173/110. I was SHOCKED! The thing is, I have been having high BP readings consistently for about a month, averaging about 145/85 ish. They did an EKG, Chest Xray, and lots of blood work and took a urine sample. Everything came back normal! My first thought before I went to the ER was that it could have been a blood clot, but my leg didn't swell at all. They told me it could have been an anxiety attack, but I've experienced those before and chest pains associated with it, and this pain was unlike any pain I have felt before. I was just wondering if anyone else had similar symptoms? I have an appointment with my doctor on Monday and I'm thinking I'm going to take the ring out.

and just recently diagnosed with diabetes 3 months now
on my last diabetic nurse check i asked her if she could check my coil for me as i hadn't been able to...... she couldn't find it ?
i have pain just from sitting and feel like something is pressing on my bladder.
reason for having it fitted was my very heavy periods with 1 week in between after having my only child in june 1998.
had no periods since dec 1999, but terrible pmt and mood swings am at wits end as i am so heavy do not think general anesthetic poss if coils embedded. very worried

Hi, I just ran across your website. My 11 yr. old son is very much allergic to every airborne thing one can be allergic to. He has been on Advair 100/50 for about 3-4 years now because he has also been diagnosed with asthma. Recently we took him to the pediatrician for what he thinks might be lower chest wall muscle spams. Plus in the past he complained on/off of leg cramps which I attributed to growing pains but after reading your website am not sure. Recently we have him on Prevacid because the allergist thinks he is suffereing from heartburn. Also, yesterday, we took him to get his eyes checked and he needs glasses now for nearsightedness. All could be occurring on their own accord or could this be due to Advair? He is overweight as well and we always suspected Advair and now to hear others say it sure makes me worry.

I was taking Clinoril for some chest wall pains. I was also given an anti-inflamitory and advair. I was also taking some advil. It's like my whole body is freezing up with muscle weakness and twitching everywhere along with some joint and bone pain. I am only 33 years old. I have never had anything like this. I called a family doctor and he said to chill out on the meds and see how that does. I am better today but still in pain.

I have a keloid scar on the back of my left chest wall. It is tender and painful to touch and itchat time.
I start receiving kenalog injection in March, April and June 2005. About 2 mins post injection, I began to nauseating with a bitterness feeling at the throat. With my eyes closed, I see blackness with flashes and spots of lights. My whole body was feeling very uneasy, can't differentiate whether am I being suck in or am I being lifted and had the feeling in incontinence. At the initate time, I still feel conscious responding to my friend command, than I guessed I'm might had lapsed into unsconiusness. 5 minutes later I woke up feeling nausea and dizzy. Feeling much better after 10 minutes or resting, I return to work.
Thinking that I might be sensitive to the pain that cause me to faint, I decided to go for the subsequently injection in April and June to desensitise the pain. But it happened again both times after the procedure except that I'm conscious of the surrounding but I keep my eyes closed. But in yesterday episode, I expercience additional side effect after about 30 minutes later such as acute pain at the injection site and surrounding area that almost cause me to faint again and associated with sharp abdominal pain that I need to relief myself. Last night I slept at 7 p.m., this moring I work up with a slight heachace which clear off after a short duration. Now I'm perfectly alright with occasional shooting of sharp pain form the keloid.
The doctor is aware of my fainting spell but still advise me to return for regular injection as the keloid scar is hardening.
I'm wondering should I continue to go for the keloid treatment???? It quite torturing during the syncope attack. Any one care to advise????

I was on Advair 3 days. On the third day I was rushed to the emergency room and treated for shortness of breath, chest pain and my mouth, throat and tongue were on fire. I was admitted to ICU and was treated for cardiac arrest. The shortness of breath was caused from an asthma attack brought on by advair, the chest pain and upper backpain (which I still was suffering from when released after 3 days in hospital) caused an inflammation of my chest wall and my mouth, throat and tongue were treated for second degree burns. I believe all these complications I endured were caused from advair. I believe advair could have killed me if I did not seek medical attention when I did. I do NOT recommend this medication to anyone at any age.

I was prescribed methylpred 4mg pak for a "pulled" heart muscle. I am on day four of the treatment and I feel disoriented, like my thoughts need reorganizing to bring them all together. My companion said I was shaking, but I did not realize so. I feel slight heart palpatations. It feels as though my chest wall is being pulled open as if to expose something in between.
