Composure symptoms and conditions

I started on Yaz after having my first child last June. It was great, but now due to all the lawsuits I'm a little nervous about trying it again, plus it's pretty pricey even with health insurance. So, after I ran out of samples of that, I decided I wanted to take the shot. With the shot, I bled for almost 6 months and I decided I wasn't doing that either. It wasn't spotting, it was bleeding. So, the dr. gave me some loestrin samples to help regulate my period until the shot was up, it worked then. I don't know if the hormones aren't strong enough in this pill or what the deal is, but I spot constantly, I have periods before I'm supposed to, I cry ALL THE TIME, I honestly have no desire for life half the time. I work in a nursing home, and my residents are very needy on the unit i work, and there are times that I have to walk away from them for a few minutes just to gain my composure. I also have a 15 month old and its definitely affecting his and I's relationship. I'm getting ready to start my 3rd pack without the shot being a factor, and I honestly don't know if I will continue to take it. I would much rather risk getting pregnant or having an allergic reaction to the condoms!

Just hope that you don't end up like me and many other people with no health insurance and the doctor telling you your IUD has to be surgically removed because the strings have disintegrated. And before they refer you to surgery they will try to remove the IUD anyways with a hook while opening your cervix.....and let me add you will be given no anesthesia, your legs and arms will go numb and you will scream because it is the worst pain ever. And then you will finally blackout because you can no longer handle the pain and when you wake up you have to be driven home and put to bed because you cant find your composure for the rest of the evening. And it really sucks having to fork over $3000 to the hospital to have surgery when you have no insurance and cannot be insured due to pre-existing conditions.
I have not had the surgery yet, and will keep you all updated..... but does anyone know if we have a case for a lawsuit here?? I'm wondering if we could all get in on filing one. The Mirena has ruined my marriage, ruined my self-worth, ruined my body, given me anxiety to no limit, and now is costing me nothing but time and money with trips back and forth for 2 months now to the doctor and hospital just to try and have it removed.

I had the mirena inserted yesterday, it was the most painful experience of my life and I can handle pain. I took mesoprostol to open my cervix because I am 19 and have not had any kids. I felt so sick on the mesoprostol that I did not get any sleep the might before the insertion of the mirena. That morning I could not eat anything, I was on my period web I went in for the insertion because I had tried it once before and my canal was crooked and my uterus was tilted and my cervix was too small even on the mesoprostol. So, this time it worked, but it was the most painful experience of my life. During the insertion my legs were shaking and I got cold sweats after the gyno inserted the mirena into my cervix I blacked put for about a minute and web I woke up I didn't know where I was at. I laid on the table for ten minutes trying to get my composure and not feel so weak. When I got up I threw up everywhere, ad after that was when the gyno told me all of this is normal side effects ( yeah she tells me after) the cramping was so bad and the pain was so horrible is the reason why I blacked out. I sat in the recovery room for 3 hours with a heating pad on me to help with the cramping and took ibuprofen but through it up. I couldn't keep anything down. So after 3 hours in the recovery room the cramping subsided and I had a friend come pick me up because I could not drive and I went home and slept for four hours. Today I had mild cramping and it comes and goes I am bloated. And I am always afraid it is going to come out. I hope my side effects are
Not as bad as all of yours. But all this site did was freak me out so I'm praying this doesn't happen to me because so far I have had every aide effect imaginable.

I had my Mirena put in on April 7th 2009, so about 3.5 weeks ago. Immediately I regretted my decision, the intense pain and cramping at insertion was not what I was expecting or bargained for. I had to sit in the doctors office for 45 minutes till I could gain my composure back and I have a high tolerance of pain. That night I could not sleep, I got 3 hrs sleep for the first two nights, only 6 on night 3 and it hasn't gotten any better since. Hot flashes, headaches, back pain, moodiness with my children and the constant bleeding since insertion combined with the insomnia is enough to make me have this thing removed. I called my doctor after another night of 3 hrs sleep last night and I am getting it removed at 1:30 today! I can not wait, especially after reading all of the stories on here I know this is the right decision for me. My greatest concern is now what? Will my insurance pay for me to have tubal ligation now after having paid for this only 3 weeks ago? That is the chance I will have to take. A mother of 3 little ones needs her sleep for her sanity!

I was on prednisone in 2005 first time ever. It completely ruined my life. I was before the prednisone (for just 10 days) a very calm happy person. After seven days I started having terrible mood swings, blurred and darkened vision, savage anxiety all the time, and the deepest depression i have ever known. I lost a business, a marriage, half my family, my sanity, composure, and ability to work. The doctor better hope to hell I never catch her out and about. Anyway after four years of pure hell I am finally able to work again and feel pretty normal most of the time. This drug does much more harm than good. I had a simple yet severe allergic reaction and was prescribed this terrible drug. Words cannot describe the personal hell I have been through. I think that most if not all doctors should be put out of their misery. I for one have started a movement to take out the doctors before they take us out. This is war and Im not going away that easy. If your life has been destroyed by prednisone do not do anything drastic. Just remember that just because your doctor poisoned you that it does not last forever. You will eventually feel better. It might be after your sanity has been tested to the limits and you lose everything you ever worked for but eventually you will come around. As for me I am starting my plan very soon. I absolutely believe that their is a movement in this country to take out or cripple as many trusting people as they can. The fda, cdc, ama, and others are evil.

I have coronary atery disease, have had one drug coated stent in my main atery and am on plavix and asprin. Had a shot of cortisone into my left shoulder yesterday (without lidocaine); pain was immense and was a shock
to my system; Immediately afterwards, I became pale, faint, and broke out
in sweat. Had to lay down on an exam table to keep from passing out. After a few minutes of lying still and being fanned by a nurse, I regained composure to leave. For the remainder of the day, my skin was pale grey, and I generally did not feel well. It was not until later that night, after two our three hours of rest, did i recover. From that point on, I had the typical restless night with limited sleep, and face began to turn red. I have never had a reaction to cortisone, and don't know if that is what occurred, but I would be curious if anyone else has had this same side affect.

I HAVE THIS AND I HAVE NO PROBLEMS SOME OF YOU PEOPLE ARE BABIES! OF COURSE THERE WILL BE SOME PAIN BUT DAMN COME ON NOW YOU ARE TRYING TO SCARE PEOPLE TO GET THEIR REMOVED YOU SUCK

I was given Singulair a week ago when I went in for bronchitis. I have noticed I do stay tired all the time & that I've become more disconnected from emotions. I am normally a very sensitive person, and it's not that its been an extreme change, but the change is there and I don't like it. I also have had to continue using my inhaler due to tightness that the Singulair does not completely get rid of for me. Yesterday, I was having dinner when my head just spun. I grabbed my composure and was ok as long as I stayed more relaxed & didn't talk a lot. I have terrible allergies and I knew that my bronchial tubes were constricted very tight & that was the cause for dizziness. This morning, my lips were starting to swell and I was starting to feel the puffiness in my eyes. I wanted to know if I could take benadryl w/ Singulair & came across this site. I took the benadryl I feel much, much better. Seems to me that if Singulair is supposed to control the tightness I would be getting better, Not worse. I have made up my mind to stop the Singulair & will contacting my doctor for something different to help with bronchial contrition.

Thank you all for sharing your experiences.

I had a Mirena placed inside me and three days later when I went back for the checkup the doctor couldn't find the strings. I had told him before he checked everything out that I couldn't feel them the day before but he said that I wasn't feeling in the right place most likely. So sure enough when he looked he said he couldn't find them. They did two ultrasounds on me and couldn't find it in my uterus. They sent me up to x-ray and by then I had lost my composure and started crying. When I got my x-rays back you could see so plainly that the Mirena was not in the right spot. It was over near my right hip bone. WAY off track. I took the x-rays back to the doctor and they booked a surgery for the next day to have it removed. I was in surgery for 3 hours total and they found it on my colon. They said it probably tore through my uterus and traveled it way all the way over there. I shouldn't known but especially the doctor should have known something was wrong when he placed it. He had to try THREE times before he got it to stay. and it was SO painful, and to think that it was going to get so much worse from there. do not get one of these. it's not worth the risk.

I had my Mirena IUD put in May 1st of 2007 and all the side effects that came along with it......the constant spotting, acne, itching breasts (which I thought was due to new bras that I had just purchased), nausea, depression (which I had to go back to taking Wellbutrin), no energy; tired all the time. My biggest side effect which I have not found any others to have is Allergies. I know it sounds crazy, but I have never had problems with allergies until a month and half after getting the IUD, extreme allergy symptoms, swollen glands, neck pain, very shortness of breath; to the point that I was down for a whole day here and there, I am having to take Allegra; had to get a steroid shot. Now that it is cold, I thought I would be getting break from the allergies, nope. I joined a gym hoping that it would help in giving me energy, nope.........I have talked to my Dr and the nurses that work with my gyno and they act as if I am making this stuff up. It is very frustrating when you know that your body has done a complete 360 in the wrong direction and everyone seems to think your crazy.

Well I am having my IUD taken out as soon as I can!

I am taking 20mgs. of Lisinopril and had no effects for the first 84 days. My blood pressure has come down dramatically. It went from 200/110 to 128/74. Not bad !! However, on day 85, I walked across a parking lot with a piece of cardboard over my head for about 600 feet, to protect myself from the rain. I got into work and sat down at my computer and about one-half hour later I got extremely dizzy and started to faint. I got down on the floor and my arms and legs went numb, almost like my circulation system was shutting down. I thought I was going to black out and go into cardiac arrest. They rushed me to the hospital and checked me out all day. They did EKG's and checked my heart enzymes. All Good. Then I was given a stress test, which also checked out Good. I still felt rather weak, but was released anyway. The same event happened 8 days later, after cutting my dosage down to 10mgs. I was moving some pallets, holding them over my head again, and experienced another event very similar. It took about 1/2 hour to pass and for me to regain my composure. I think holding my arms over my head has either fluctuated my blood pressure, or I am cutting off the circulation up in the neck area. I have had a severe neck ache lately on the back right-side. The benefits outweigh the risks as far as my blood pressure, but if I pass out swimming, driving, trimming tree branches, etc and kill myself, it is of no longer a benefit. SO, I'M WARNING ALL OF YOU OUT THERE, TO TAKE HEED, AND BE CAREFUL WITH THE ACTIVITIES YOU PARTICIPATE IN. DELAY CERTAIN THINGS UNTIL YOU ARE OFF OF THIS MEDICATION, BUT DON'T STOP ON YOUR OWN. ALWAYS CHECK WITH YOUR PRIMARY PHYSICIAN FIRST.

Also gave me the "stoned" affect during the peak of this drug. The after affects (which I'm currently in the state of) was a nose bleed, speeding (insomia, "jacked up" feeling), body fatigue, loss of appetite and short term memory loss (temporary inability to form sentence composure, forgetfulness).
