Conspiracy theory symptoms and conditions

To everyone out there that has issues with doxycycline...
Now i fully understand the old saying that nothing is free in life.

I got it for lyme disease 7 days ago, and it was one of the free prescripts from my grocery store (great i thought). Little did i know how powerful this stuff can be. For the last week i have basically had severe headaches and wanted to give up on life. I didn't want to work out, didn't want to go to work, had chest pains, muscle spasms, and DEEP DEPRESSION....
now i know why this is free, because after it gets you so depressed, they figure your doctor will put you on something to get you out of depression, a money making drug. This is probably the meds talking still (i stopped yesterday after what felt like a complete and utter mental breakdown). Regardless of my silly conspiracy theory, i am glad i stopped taking it, and i hope that i start feeling like myself again.

Yes, I reported my side effects to the FDA as well as to Berlex. its really important to do so. I don't know how else we'll get this off the market. I've been horrified with how many and how horrible they have suffered. It is disgusting actually. I am 2/3 reading Kevin Trudeau's book on Natural Cures-and honestly at first I thought it just wreaked of Conspiracy Theory and now, I am learning that so much of what he's documenting is true! For example-CODEX-this will take all our vitamins and natural supplements and make them only available through and by prescription! Talk about monopoly. I hear that this is already the case in Europe and has been for some time. It means, you will need a prescription for Vitamin C! And it will be costly!

Now after reading through all of this. After suffering personally the last 9 months, after seeing how many women's symptoms are similar and all of them being told by their Doctors that it could not be Yasmin-I AM CONVINCED! The RN I just saw tried to get me to take Nexium which is also on www.worstpills.org website. In addition to Yasmin. I was so mad. I know this isn't Heartburn. Not when the heart murmur started. I am starting to think the entire medical community thinks all women are morons telling eveyrone its stress and anxiety--totally discounting our symptoms. I've come across 5 articles now on heart disease and women and all 5 expressedly talk about just this-how women are not taken seriously ---misdiagnosed 3 to 5 times and after costly exams, trips to the ER-they actually have heart attacks. Pisses me off. More than that, there are/have been moments at night when I lie awake and think about all of you, wondering what part of the world you are in, how this has effected your quality of life, all our abilities to trust, our familes, our work....and finding your responses during stressful times is so uplifting. I pray for each and everyone of you. I'm sickened that this drug-Yasmin and now its sister Yaz ever made it to the market. Based upon a couple of other's women's entries, I would join an effort to bring lawsuit.

The American Medical Association is currently working to pass a law to make it even more difficult to sue the pharmaceutical companies....nice huh?

I have lived an absolute nightmare since a hospital ER doctor started me on Levaquin in DEC. 2005 after being treated for flu and bronchitis. I fainted 20 mintues later and he said this was due to a "vagal" response. But the next day or two on a continued 6 day dosage of this antibiotic I started having every life and eath symptom described on this board. I even allowed myself to be put on anti-depressants for the first time in my 54 years because so many doctors were just going the psych route after not being able to explain all these symptoms. But EVERYTHING, every symptom I have like the ones described here started in the first two days after I started taking the levaquin and NO OTHER MEDICINE FOR SIX DAYS. I have felt like I was going to die, I was going crazy, I couldn't walk straight, I couldn't sleep for days at a time ( this was almost making me suicidal ) my scalp and arms itched, my legs and calves are so weak and sore I can only walk for about 10 mintues and if I over do this walking my body goes into a major attack full body attack of all these other symptoms. I have had pain in my arms, wrists, hands, Hands get cold, my sensitivity to cold is just unbearable, I have had rashes, and my stomach is so torn apart that GI doctors are saying it looks like beginning Crohnes disease and I have tried so many medicines. My legs seem to getting WEAKER after 6 months! My left leg locks as I walk and drags. My appetite is gone most of the time. My sex drive is about 10% of what it was before, My eyesight even seems to be affected and I have had this weird pulsating shaking up through my left neck and into my head feeling.

I found this website and suggested to my doctors that maybe because all I took levaquin all that first week when all this started that maybe the Levaquin did all this damage and my PCP and Rhuematologist just cut me off like I was trying to bring up some JFK conspiracy theory.

I can promise you this. I am going to try to start a national organization for people who have been severly, life changing damaged, many permanently like me it appears ( I have lost my job and you can't believe the depression I know have ) I take clonazapam just to function every day! There ARE SO MANY VICTIMS OF THIS and we need to get organized. This Levaquin and maybe Cipro sounds like a killer, life ruining drug. Seriously, I called a law firm in San Francsco about this and they laughed. They said "take on the drug companies?, You have got to be kidding me. They are too wealthy and connected. Not one case in 5 years in California. But it has to start somewhere. This is a national tragedy and injustice. If we don't organize then we are just allowing ourselves to be devastatingly hurt here for no good reason except profit and greed.
