Decease symptoms and conditions

Hi. I was just told I had low Vitamin D. I have been doing some research on what might cause this and what issues low Vitamin D could cause. I am finding that all acid inhibitors can cause this condition. Many of the side effect all of you have listed along with many others have been reported with use of these type drugs. Some research also shows that softing of the bones or brittle bones can be a side effect after long term use. This is where the Vitamin D comes in. The acid inhibitors keep your stomach from breaking down Vit. D which is distributed in your body as a hormone. Vit. D or lack there of can cause so many deceases that are life threating that it is unreal. I am not an expert by no means, but now when I go back to my doctor for the follow up for the low Vit. D I fill much more informed by doing my homework. I have took Nexium for about 3 years and then Aciphex for about 3 years; so a total of 6 years on the acid inhibitors. During this time I have been diagnosed with clinical depression, degenerative bone decease, and now Low Vit. D. I have had the dry mouth, cold feet, leg cramps, unexplained abdominal pain, cannot control my hunger, anxiety, lumps in my throat, skin rash that comes and goes and is untreatable, heart palpitations, trouble sleeping, pain in my kidneys.....OH how I could go on. In the official PDF file on the side effects of Aciphex there are no studies past one year to substantiate any claims of long term side effects. I have heard in the past 18 months little stories on the TV news about how Nexium can cause bone fractures but it is not played up very big. I have gone to the doctor more then the average person and I have felt as if I am a HUGE hypocondriac. Yesterday was the first time I have been able to breath and I actual stated to my husband that I feel as if suddenly the hypocondriac weight I have been bearing has somewhat been lifted off my shoulders.

PLEASE if you have took any of these types medications and you have these symptoms insist that you have your Vitamin D levels check before it is too late. Continue to persue this avenue even if your doctor is reluctant. AND write the FDA about your experiences. STAND UP FOR YOUR HEALTH!

WOW, OKAY I WAS PUT ON LEVAQUIN FOR A RESP. INFECTION. I HAVE ASTHMA THAT IS SET OFF BY ALLERGYS AND INFECTIONS. I COULD NOT BREATH AND WENT TO THE DR. THEY SAID I HAD AN INFECTION GAVE ME 5 DAYS OF LEVAQUIN.. BY THE SECOND DAY I COULD NOT SLEEP, MY BODY WAS HURTING. BUT I JUST PUT IT OFF AS THE INFECTION. COUPLE DAYS LATER MY KNEES STARTED HURTING AGAIN I PUT IT OFF AS JUST DOING TO MUCH AND NOT SLEEPING. I CALLED THE DR TO LET THEM NO I WAS STILL NOT FEELING WELL SO THEY GAVE ME ANOTHER ROUND OF LEVAQUIN. I TOOK THE 6TH DOSE WHILE I WAS AT WORK WITH IN 3 HOURS I COULD NOT EVEN WALK UP THE STAIRS TO THE 2ND FL SOMETHING I DO EVERYDAY. SO I THOUGHT I WOULD LOOK UP THE SIDE EFFECTS I THOUGHT I HAD SAW SOMETHING ABOUT PAIN. THATS WHEN I READ A LOT OF SIDE EFFECTS.. I HAD SWELLING IN MY ANKLES .. MY HANDS, WRITST, ARMS, SHOULDER, LEGS, ANKLE, AND KNEES HURT SO BAD. THERE WAS NOT A MUSCLE IN MY BODY THAT DID NOT HURT. I CALLED THE DR THEY SAID TO STOP TAKEN THE LEVAQUIN, WELL IT HAS BEEN A MONTH. I HAVE SLOWLY FELT BETTER, BUT I HAVE SPENT THE LAST FEW WEEKS FEELING LIKE I HAD SOME KINDA JOINT DECEASE. AND YESTERDAY MY LEGS STARTED HURTING AGAIN AND MY LEFT ANKLE IS SWALLEN. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME IT RAINS MY LEGS HURT. LIKE I HAVE ARTHRITIS OR SOMETHING. PLEASE IF YOU ARE STILL HAVING PROBLEMS LET ME KNOW...
