Early september symptoms and conditions

One more thing the doctors told me...Avelox stays in your system for a while after taking it. I finished the drug in early September, 2 weeks or so, later all the side effects began to surface. However, like I am reading, people can also have an immediate reaction as well.

I have been taking Crestor since early September 08. Prior to that I was on Vytorin for quite awhile. I now have right sided parthesia and my face tingles constantly on the right side. I have had MRIs MRAs not to mention blood tests that say my kidneys are spilling calcium. No one seems to have a clue what is going on. My feet and legs hurt so bad if I sit for too long I can't hardly walk. My uncle passed away from ALS and now I'm really scared that all of these statins are killing me slowly. I wonder if I quite taking this drug will I have a heart attack. I really just don't know what to do.

Well, Im so happy I read all these postings because I have been going crazy trying to figure out why I have gained so much weight and been so tired! I had my Mirena put in in early September, and I haven't had too much problem with bleeding after the first month, but the weight gain, tiredness, and acne has been terrible! My doctor said that she had talked with some reps. from Mirena and they assured her that the weight gain was NOT from Mirena, but I think thats a load of crap! I think Im going to make an appointment to speak with my doctor about taking this thing out!

I started taking maxide toward the end of July 2005. In early September, I developed a rash that itched so bad I thought I would go out of my mind. It started on the backs of my upper legs and progressed to my ears, face, and neck. I took prednisone to take care of the rash with the doctor and me thinking it had to be poison ivy. Two days after stopping the small dosage of prednisone, the itching was back in full force. I have since stopped taking maxide.

I found your info by searching on the web and wanted to share my problems.

I was taking Pravachol for almost a year and had no problems. My physician wanted to get my LDL lower under new guidelines so he put me on 20mg of Lipitor in mid July 2004. In early September 2004, I noticed that the balls of my feet and toes felt like they were 'asleep' and my face was tingling. I asked my doctor about this and he sent me to a neurologist who did MRI's and MRA's and found nothing. They took my sugar readings and I came in at 130 after fasting 2 times. He says I have diabetes which is in the family. He's not too sure this is causing my symptoms so he's now sending me for a second opinion with another neurologist. I asked him if the change to lipitor could have precipitated theses symptoms(at my wife's urging). He said no.

I feel like I am a Zombie at times. He gave me 1800mg of neurontin for 10 days. This did absolutely nothing for me.

Everybody thinks I'm going Bonkers!!

I am a 49 years old and felt great until recently. Any help would be appreciated and if you would like more info let me know.

Thanks!!
