Diapers symptoms and conditions

I am going to copy the address to this page and personally drive around to local family practice offices and discreetly drop piles of them everywhere. I pride myself on my medical knowledge and background having worked one way or another in the medical field all of my life. I take into account every aspect of a new medication after a life altering labor and deliver drove me to have a bright shiny new Norplant installed before it had time to be researched and tested properly, i'm still awaiting the final outcome of that young, uneducated, made out of fear of unimaginable horror and lack of RELIABLE READY INFORMATION ABOUT ALL OF IT'S SIDE AFFECTS. I believe every person is different and no one person will tolerate the same information the same way.
Except for the Mirena apparently. It seems almost UNIVERSALLY bad for a women's body and was MOST LIKELY conjured up by some ill treated ManBoy.
All that being said to the women who were in NO way warned of any of the negative side affects,(most likely older women who finally found mr right but under no circumstances want to go back to diapers sleepless nights and college tuition worries...) Thank Goodness for the WorldWideWeb and access to information. I am over 35 and have a family history of heart disease, there are very few options for birth control for me. This seemed like some sort of modern day miracle and while I suspected someone having as *significant* of a period as I, should probably...have one regularly...I too was *woo'd* by the prospect of a shorter, lighter, possibly infrequent period. However I was not warned that the other 3 weeks of the month I would rather be dead than alive. Turns out my body is smarter than I am and just days after finding this site and putting it all it finally passing the *MirenaBlock* ...I made an appt for a check and my body had spent the last 4 months attempting to push it out.
I'm never lucky enough for the *magicpills* to work, to those who are *KUDOS* but don't belittle those women smart enough to pursue a logical explanation to a sudden change in every aspect of your life. Information is knowledge and if you look most of those *BITCHY* women who called you babies have has the *device* installed less than 6 months...lol Kharma's a bitch and I think the Mirena has pissed off *Mother Nature* good luck lol and yes...I too within HOURS ...felt better and I EMBRACE the wonders of modern medicine daily...just not the horrors !

I just got the Mirena placed in Nov. 4, 2008.After 2 unplanned Pregnancies I thought this would be the best thing for me. NOT!!!! First it was BROWN SPOTTING. Then a week after having it in I have been BLEEDING like crazy. I hate the feel of blood gushing out of me. So I started back wearing my tampons. After an hour or so I have to change a tampon and a pad. I thought like many others this would be the best birth control ever. Hell I spend enough money on diapers. I don't want to spend more than i have to on pads and tampons!!! I have been miserable since having this. I have gained weight. I even feel like I'm pregnant again sometimes. My baby will be 3 months Dec 3, 2008, and i have lost all desire for sex after having this thing. I did better getting the Depo if i just wanted to gain weight. I gonna make an appointment to get this thing REMOVED!! ASAP!!

I got my Mirena on 6-12-08 and still currently have it. I am 22 years old and have two little girls. Before the Mirena I used pills and the patch and never had any problems at all. This thing is a nightmare! I have been twitching-especially my eyes and lips, I cant get my fingers to stop shaking. I have been experiencing the 'drunk eyes' that bulgebegone mentioned. The cramps have not stopped for the month I've had it, even though I was told it would be a week at the most. Also, like so many other women, I was told that I may spot very lightly for 6-9 months and then stop getting my period-after it was inserted. For the last month I have been hemoraging almost exactly the same as those few days in the hospital after giving birth-when they give you the big diapers to wear! My husband hates it too, when we have been able to have sex, he says most of the time it's ok, but then the strings will poke him and it's a very sharp pain. Last Friday I spoke with my doctor about this to see what options we had and I asked her to shorten the strings and she said no, without an explanation at all! I also just read the article below in an email I received. I am now making an appointment to have this removed!!!!!

Avelox - someone needs to get a class action lawsuit going. I was put on this Friday (2/8/08) for pneumonia. The MD said it was a great very strong antibiotic and would kick in really quick. Within 4 hours I was having some problems with urine dribbling out - something I've NEVER had before. By the next day I was having to change pads every 30-60 minutes with gushes every time I coughed - and that made me go through multiple pants until I started to use my babies diapers. By the third day I couldn't leave home. My pneumonia was much worse, as if I hadn't taken any antibiotics for it at all. I stopped the Avelox and went back to urgent care - the doctor didn't even argue that my pneumonia was worse, one listen to my chest and he was quite concerned. He put me on Zithromax and I'm doing better as far as the pneumonia.

The bladder incontinence is still bad and hasn't let up even though I haven't taken any Avelox for 3 days. I called Bayer's branch that makes this stuff to file a complaint and the customer rep said "You must be unusual, there have been no complaints of bladder incontinence with Avelox before." She barely listened to me and told me to go back to my doctor to see if he could help - which he can't because he has no experience with this and would have to call the drug manufacturer anyway! She was totally unsympathetic and when I got upset would put me on hold for several minutes and then pick up again.

If you look at Avelox from a marketing standpoint, NO patient would take it if they ended up in diapers! I know I wouldn't - so they sell it hoping to sneak it by and make money. Only they have now damaged my body and I don't know if I'll ever be back to normal. I'm still suffering from sensitivity to light too - which they claim is a false side effect but has been really severe for me too. Can hardly drive during the daytime now when I've gone to the doctor as the light is sooo strong for my eyes.

When I told the doctor that the Avelox had made two of my joints painful to the point I could not lift my baby or kneel on one leg, he said not to worry. I hadn't been on it long enough for the tendon to rupture. WHAT??? That wasn't listed as a side effect either but obviously THAT has happened enough (and can be proven) that the drug company has told doctors about it.

Someone needs to hold these drug companies accountable for the damage they do...

I was prescribed Avelox for a sinus infection and bronchitis. I didn't have any problems with the Avelox until after the second dose. By the third dose, my abdomen was extremely distended- to the point that I could barely eat b/c the pressure from my abdomen was pressing into my chest area and caused trouble breathing. I saw my doctor after the 3rd dose and explained how bloated I was. She told me that sometimes antibiotics upset your stomach. I was told that I didn't have to take any more of the Avelox (which I wasn't planning to take anymore anyway). It has now been 8 days since I've taken Avelox. I am still bloated. I think the bloating is slightly better. But I'm still miserable and wondering when I will feel better. I dread eating because I know I'll feel worse when I do. I'm just thankful that I haven't had some of the other reactions I've read about here. I'll never take Avelox again.

It is now 2am and my 22 mo old has been on omnicef for pneumonia for 2.5 days...starting the night he took it he started waking up in the middle of the night just screaming - he does not get night terrors, this all started happening the exact night he started the medicine...he did it the next day when waking up from a nap as well and then again tonight. My husband is with him and I am searching the internet on this stuff - I have no doubt it's the medicine after reading these similar stories - and will be calling his DR in the morning. He has also had 8 runny diapers in the last 15 hours since starting it.

Wow am I glad I found this site! My son has had blow out diapers with brick red stools since he started this drug. It looked like he was bleeding to death! Three or four stools a day. We will inform our pediatrician immediately.

My 13 month old son has been taking Omnicef for 6 days now in 2 2.5 mL doses per day. He has been very whiney and clingy to me and has had the worst diarhea I have ever seen. He has also been running a fever every day upwards of 103. I just changed 4 diapers in less than an hour. I refuse to give him any more of this medication. He does not seem well at all. I'm at a loss. Amoxiclin didn't clear up his ear infection and the doctor gave him this. I will call tomorrow and ask what to do.

This is the 2nd time that my 8 month old has taken omnicef for ear infections. He has had red, bloody looking stools both times. The first time, I rushed him to the doctor and was told he just had a rectal tear. As soon as he finished the antibiotic, the red stools stopped. He is on the medication again and has the nasty diapers again. He is feeling better so I'm not too concerned. I just don't understand why the doctors dismiss the concerns of the parents and act like there is no way the medication would cause this.

My 2.5 year old son is on Omnicef for double ear infections. He has always been head strong but since starting on this stuff he has been a monster! Extremely aggressive, horrible tantrums, won't sleep, didn't eat for 3 days, completely unmanagemable. And a few diapers that were just unbelieveable. He's still complaining about his ears, I wish I could just take him off this stuff. Horrible!

My 12mo old daughter began taking Omnicef two days ago for a urinary tract infection. She's normally a very happy child who takes about 4oz of milk and then crashes for the night. Both nights since starting Omnicef she has been extremely restless and doesn't want to sleep. When you hold her she wants down, when you put her down she wants you to pick her up and cries constantly. The only way to get her to sleep is to take a ride in the car....and then pray she doesn't wake up when we're bringing her back into the house. The red-ish colored stool happened after the first dose as well. She had one when she woke up the next morning and another a few hours later. These were the worst diapers I've ever seen. We're stopping the doses and consulting her pediatrician. Hope this helps.

My 12 month old son developed diarrhea after three 125mg doses of Omnicef. He also has insomnia and is wiped out from not getting enough sleep and the diarrhea combined. He developed a rash on the neck, hairline, around the ears, and some on the trunk shortly after the diarrhea began. He had way more energy despite the diagnosed sinus infection and 102-103 degree fever before taking Omnicef. He also slept through the entire night peacefully despite the fever before taking the medication. This was much nicer for everybody as were the normal diapers before Omnicef. He is now more sick from the medicine. What a contradiction, and what a game of roulet we have to play. Without the antibiotics, I suppose an ear infection might have developed, but maybe I'll just wait on the antibiotics next time when the only symptom he has is a fever.

Hi .. Not sure if anyone posts anymore, but figured incase I would write, My 11month old daughter had a double ear infection, & her peditrician presribed her Omnicef every 12hrs, Her first day of taking it, today.. She has a bloody colored stool, also really mushy. REALLY worried we called the doctor and he said it was a side affect, Thank GOD! She also is REALLY restless tossing turning sitting up in bed all night, I just hope its helping, and Those diapers arent really pleasant either!

My 9 month old son was taking Omnicef for double ear infections. He was precribed 125mg/5ml oral suspension once a day. After we gave him his first dose, he began having almost a maroon colored stool. We thought it was blood. He had been having diarrhea for 2 weeks prior to beginning Omnicef. I contacted the pediatrician and they tested the stool for blood. Thank God it was negative. I called CVS pharmacy, and the only GI side effect listed that had to do with stool was "abnormal stool". My son is going on day 5 of this antibiotic, and his ear infections seem to be clearing, however I do think that this should be listed as a possible side effect. He has had approximately 10 diapers with the same maroon colored stool. It can be very frightening to parents. Thankyou for giving me the opportunity to let others know about this.
