I was 3 months pregnant with my second child. I had been throwing up every day (4-6x) since my first month of pregnancy. My OB said that it would pass and was not concerned. On night I just couldn't take it anymore and ended up in the ER. The doc started me on a IV to replace my fluids. She also added Reglan to it. About 2-3 minutes after they added it to my IV my whole body turned to ice. I was freezing. It felt like something was crawling under my skin. I started rubbing my arms like crazy telling my husband that I didn't feel good. My body felt like it was not my own. I was trying to get out of it!! The only way I can explain what happened next was I guess I had a panic attack. I started screaming "Get it out of me!!" I tried to rip out my IV and jumping off the table. I could not stop shaking and crying. I was perfectly fine (mentally) before they gave Reglan to me. Two security guards and 2 nurses + the doc came running in and attempted to hold me down (5'7 130lbs). They could barely hold me down before the doctor shot something into my IV. Within seconds it stopped and I felt 100% better. I asked what happened to me and the doctor said that "you had an adverse reaction". Ummm that is putting it mildly. I signed myself out after that. I have NEVER experienced anything like that in my life!! Needless to say I tell my doctors (OB+ GP) that I am allergic to Reglan!

Like several others, I truly believe God directed me to this website today. I have PCOS so w/o BC, I don't have a period. I thought it was just MY hormones being affected and my family suffering but after reading this - the ring is coming out and I'm calling my doctor!! I honestly feel like I am going cRaZy!! I feel like barbed wire is crawling under my skin and suddenly I have a million pet-peeves. Everything is making me either want to cry or go into a rage - there is NO happy medium. My hands and feet are swollen and achy - we seriously thought it was an early onset of arthritus! For the first time in weeks, these posts have made me feel normal. Please don't suffer needlessly, take the ring out and find another option. I know I am - I owe it to my husband and three boys!!

I was prescribed Prednisone for only 5 days- my doc said to take it to rule out inflamed sinuses as a cause of my dizzy/lightheaded symptoms.
Well, this medication did everything but take away my dizziness. On my 2nd night I was feeling anxious and had difficulty falling asleep. On my 3rd night, the it got worse. On the 4th night, I felt like something was crawling under my skin- it was so uncomfortable- I kept rubbing my arms and paced back and forth until the feeling went away about 2 hours later. On the last night, I woke up from a nap feeling tender all over- my ribcage, my shoulders, under my arms, my neck, jaw. My jaw even appeared to be swelled. My body was so sensitive to touch that I couldn't even carry my purse on my shoulder the next day as I walked to a doctor's appointment. My doc told me that the tenderness was probably due to a virus that the Prednisone had initially supressed. What do you think? Anybody else ever had these side effects or effects after completion of the Prednisone?
Oh and about the dizziness, it just got worse. I will never take this medication again.

Since having the mirena, I have lost my sense of humor, my sex drive, I get into hideous rages, I feel like I have something crawling under my skin when I have PMT. The PMT hardly ever goes away and as a result my breasts are twice the size they usually are, I have got stretch marks, they seem to swell for three weeks out of four and then I have a small period, when I finish bleeding my breasts swell again as if getting ready for another period. I suffer from headaches, tearfulness, slow witidness (used to laugh a lot). My boyfriend and I used to enjoy a good sex life, now I can't stand him touching me, so if I don't get the mirena out, I will be back on the shelf again, but I don't want a baby, can't take the pill that has an awful affect and the other copper coil made me bleed for two weeks at a time. What is a gal to do? Think I'll pull it out myself I feel that furious with having this alien inside of me. Plus I go running lots and do circuits at the gymn and am up a dress size since the mirena doh! Am sick!
