Consistant symptoms and conditions

ive had mine in for about 3 yrs and having the same problems only until recently did i realize it could be my IUD well the migraines i knew about i could handle those but the mood swings,nausea,tiredness,back aches i dunno really thinking about getting the thing out i don't wanna get pregnant but i don't want permanent damage because of an IUD or to suffer from the side effects either thanks yall!!

I thought I was going crazy until I found this site. I had my Mirena put in on Nov. 19 2007. It was a pretty painful insertion. I never got dilated nor was I told to take anything before hand. My doctor (Who is a man and not a Ob) Told me there would be slightly to no pain at all. I got into the car and immediately started having horrible cramping on my left side. I felt extremely dizzy and hurried home. When I got home I began spotting pretty severely. Almost blood clot type spotting. Two hours after I was balling my cramps were so bad. I could barely pick up my 9 month old daughter. That whole night and the next day I was miserable. I felt like I had morning sickness. I had an allergic reaction to Ibuprofen so I usually only took Tylenol. I took three still with no help with the pain I called my doctor to see if he'd call in Tylenol with codeine. That helped a little but I was still pretty crampy. After a week of bad cramps with little help from the Tylenol, I started to get really nauseas. I can barely get out of bed in the morning though I stay awake most of the night. My body is always achy especially in my legs. I have shooting pains down them. I am severely depressed and started having anxiety attacks which I haven't had in years. The cramps aren't as bad but the emotional side of it as well as constant back pain is making me miserable. Not to mention I have gained 8 pounds in less than a month. I am normally pretty consistent in weight. I am really considering removing it. I had a very weird period that came a few days late and consisted of only clots of blood. I am already kind of a hypochondriac but I have been feeling the exact same symptoms most of you have posted. Even the shortness of breath with a tightness in my chest. I was just starting to run everyday before i put the Mirena in, I can barely do a brisk walk just a week after it was put in. I have an appointment tomorrow to talk about removing it. It will suck since my insurance didn't pay for it. I paid 698.00$ cash. But if it gives me my life back I will get it out as soon as possible. Has anyone had these symptoms and had them go away after a few months? All my friends are saying stick in there but I don't know if I can. If I had found this site before I got it put in I would have ran the other way! Thanks for all your posts!

I took this BC for only a month...after just my first month I decided that this pill was NOT for me!!! I got my period like clockwork in my last week of the packet. This month I haven't gotten my period yet I STILL am experiencing the cramps...has anyone experienced a missed period after having stopped Loestrin?!?!?

I have been experiencing severe hair loss and thought it was the Fosamax, so stopped that drug, but the hair loss is continuing. I have found only one article relating Singular to hair loss.

After having sinus surgery (lasted more than 3 hrs) my ent dr placed me on singulair. once i recovered from the sugery, it was incredible. i had been sick for a year. my pf was down to 30%, i was on a rescue inhalaer, nebulizer, advair, and sometimes oral prednisone. the efffect was immediate. i felt good for the first time in more than a year. i weighed about 135 lbs - at 5'6, i was slim. After a year, i had gained about 15 pounds, and had urination at night every 1-2 hrs, then i started having stomach discomfort - consistant indigestion. i went to the dr who ordered lab, and gave me prevacid and told me to come back in a week. the next a.m. i took the prevacid and when i started to eat breakfast, i started vomitting and did not stop. i experienced muscle spasms starting in my neck, down my back, leg that were non-stop for 3 hrs. i went to the er, had all kind of tests, mri, etc. the drs never gave me a dianosis, but my daughter thought it was the singular so i refused it while in the hospital. after recovering at home for a few days i went back to work. no more muscle spasm, no more frequent urination, stomach discomfort is only about 20% of what it was, but i am about 30 pounds heavier than when i started the drug. i eat only 1,200 - 1,500 calories a day, but cannot lose the weight. i have an active job, walk a lot, but cannot lose the weight. i am on asmanex and have not been to my allergist in about 6 months. doing very well!!!

eight months after levaquin and i still have rashes all over. biopsy showes es cells. back of my head is the worst and most consistant, but also chest, underarms, hips. take allegra and zyrtec daily, rash much worse if i forget. and steriod cream. any idea when this nightmare will be over?

I have been taking Nitrofurant Monohy 100mg for the past four days and have never felt worse. I have a constant pain in my stomach, a headache, nausea, dizziness and feel like I am about to throw up. It seems my side effects are consistant with others. I would strongly recommend asking the doctor for another type of medication to avoid these feelings.

recent finger biting, sucking, licking of lips, also wiping of lips all symptoms consistant.

Since I've started taking Lamictal for seizures, I've noted lower abdominal pain and gas.
My diet is fairly consistant and have no other new medications that I can attribute to the abdominal pain.
Could Lamictal be causing the aforementioned?

Well, I have been taking Ovcon for a few months now. Every month my side effects are different. (I am 22)

In the first month, my breasts got really large. but it did not bother me. i gained 1/2 cup size, but the second i started the white pills, they went back down.

The second month i had horrible acid reflux problems.

The third month I felt great but my period was really light and lasted a whole week. i only had to wear pantyliners.

the fourth month i was so very bloated, and my period was very heavy but only two days long.

so far this month (i'm only on day 4) I have been very mean. I feel very depressed and defensive.

I don't really have any major qualms with Ovcon, but I wish it was more consistant from pack to pack.

I take the 5MG MYLAN, one tablet at bedtime. My only side effect, after about three weeks is a dry cough which comes and goes during the day. My Dr said if the cough was very consistant he would change my prescription, but the cough occurs about twice during the day so I have chosen, thus far, to tolerate it, considering the good it hjas done for my blood pressure.

I am 51 male diagnosed with an atrial flutter and fib 6 months ago. After an ablation and medication regimin that consists of Toprol @ 100mg/daily , and Flecanide 150MG twice daily I now have a consistant pulse rate. Not as fatiquied and forgetful as before when pulse rate raced to 180 at times. Current resting pules id below 80 and I too have has weight gain of 10 lbs over 6 months. Mood swings and deoression are helped by daily Zoloft 100 mg, excercise, and planned rest.

After a reaction to a known food allergy and being treated with success at the emgergency room with benedryl, I followed up with my GP for irratation in one ear. After an exam of my inner ear he said the canal looked inflamed, probably lingering from the food allergy and said a "shot" would clear it right up. His nurse came in with the injection, and I asked "what exactly is this" she said it was "Kenalog" and said people come in all time and get it for all kinds of things, mainly for allergies and they just "love" it. I had never heard of the drug before this. I received the 80mg injection in my left hip on 06-20-05. Since then I have experienced mild to moderate depression, anxiety, panic, fatigue, night sweats, muscle pain, stomach cramping and a mild form of acne around the hair follicles on my chest as per the dermatologist. I beleive it is the side effects of the Kenalog. If I would have been properly informed I would have opted out of injection and kick myself for not asking more questions about it. I know from reading the forums every one reacts differently but the side effects seem consistant throughout. I would caution anyone before taking this drug to througly weigh the benefits vs the risks.

I am a deskbound employee 63 years of age. I have been on HBP meds for the last fourteen years due to my weight. I have slowly escalated from 230lbs to 330 lbs over the last ten years. I have been on Lisinopril (20mg and then 40mg/day) for the last three years. It does control my blood pressure but could be part of the problem with losing any weight. My exercise is extememly limited due to laziness, financial inability to get equipment/memberships, and (of course) the overweight condition. While I don't have a dry cough I do have a consistant sinus drainage and some heartburn symptoms. I am concerned that the Lisinopril is contributing to my weight situation since I have not been able to lose weight regardless of diet.

I am planning to move off of the chemicals and use natural herbs and medicine to control my blood pressure. I will report changes here after three months off of the pills.

Every since my teens, I have had horrible blood pressure (180/110) which by 35 (when I got the courage to finally go to a doctor) reached incredible highs of 220+/- over 128+/-. It took my doctor 4 years to find a combination that would work. No combination worked for more than 2 months except for Lisinopril and Norvasc combination. My blood pressure is a consistant 117/76 for almost 2 years. So for me Lisinopril is a Godsend!!! I did not experience any of the side effects mentioned here. Maybe, I am the only person in the world this drug was made for.

Interesting note about the sore throat side effect. I've been on and off wellbutrin this year for ADD, and three time developed a sore throat symptoms consistant with Strep though the strep cultures show negative. Treated with antibiotics and it went away. I wonder if it was really a side effect of wellbutrin????

I think this medication sucks... My son was diagnosed a.d.d. whatever... his lack of focus, his temperment, his finding humor in someone else's sadness. The answer is not pills. It is finding 10 minutes a day of your time just with your child. More encouragement and being consistant . That one (consistant) was the hardest. Pills may help for the time being... but are our children to stay on pills their whole life? what happens when they go off? Don't take the easy route drugging up your child... They will get their aggression out behind your back instead of in your face.

I seem to have a quiet consistant tiredness that I can usually push through. I can't seem to lose weight. My tachycardia is much better.

Hi everyone. Well first off, I have been on Yasmin for about a week now. And I don't feel bad at all. When I was seventeen my gyno recomended that I go on the pill. My mother was not thrilled about that one (old fashioned), so I waited until I was eighteen. After looking over many options, because I do not need it as a contraceptive, I decided to let the doctor use his best judgement. I took two pills in one day in order to make my cycle go every fourth Sunday.
So far I feel fine. My appetite has dwindled down to nothing, and because I work full time, those cravings have subsided so much that I lost three pounds in two days. One thing that I encourage women to remember is that the pill is meant to fool your body into believing it is pregnant. Because of the "pregnancy mode," your ovaries will not release any eggs. This is very important because the whole morning sickness bit, and the cravings, and the decreased sex drive, and the dryness are all symptoms of pregnancy. Every woman's body is different, and some woman during pregnancy do feel numb emotionally and physically. So the pill basically is doing just that, making you feel pregnant.
A woman's body produces natural hormones called estrogen and progesterone. However, the bosy does not produce these hormones in consistant amounts, hence we get our period. Because of these fluctuations, eggs are releases, our breasts are occasionally tender, a pimple will pop up here and there, and we get a bit moody. The pill maintains these hormones at a constant level so hopefully this symptoms subside a bit. The week that you are on the white pills is basically just your body's natural chemistry taking over. So of course that week you would feel very normal and like your old self.
I hope that maybe this information will help some people who, by coming to this website, have become frightened. Yasmin is a pill prescribed mostly to teenage girls because the hormone progesterone used is a synthetic one and not real. This basically enables your body to safely come off the pill and go back to normal once the menstrual cycle is regulated. I have experienced minimal side effects, the ones I have noticed are the loss of appetite, and desire to drink a lot of water, which by the way is a good thing. By the way, because Yasmin is a diauretic, that means you lose water while taking it. When your body is lacking water (a good indication is if there is a hint of yellow in your urine, urine should be clear and copious), it tends to become oily. People who drink plenty of water while on this pill do lose the weight after about eight weeks and have beautiful skin. Water is an amazing thing when trying to clean up acne. Good Luck ladies, and e-mail me is you have any questions. AgapeAngel1120@aol.com
