Emergancy room symptoms and conditions

i have been taking advair for almost 2 months and a few days ago i started to have servere muscle pain in my neck and pain in the bottom of my head. I also for the first time in my life have been having anxiety and panic attacks...i didn't know what was wrong with me, i went to the emergency room and my doctor and had tons of test done with negative results!..i thought i was havening a mental breakdown! I came across this website and read all the post put up..i can't believe it...i thought i was dying, never would i have thought that the one medicine to help me breath was just about killing me.

I am a 56 year old female who was very active ranching, balng hay taking care of irrigation etc. 3 years ago I had pain in my left arm and my heart was racing went to the E.R. where they did a 12 lead ekg. Could not find anything wrong other than my blood pressure was up to 160/90 they gave me ToprolXl 100 mg and told me to see my primary care physcian. Which I did. He continued the medication.

Since that time I have complained to all of the symtoms I have seen on this site. With one exception. Two months ago I was watching TV and had double vision. It only lasted for a few seconds but noticed the next day my peripheral vision was gone. I made an appt with an opthomologist and he spent 3 hours with me and recommended an MRI which was conducted some 2 weeks later. I was referred to a neurologist who ran a lot of blood work. My first batch of blood work showed a raging inflamation. They started testing for MS, lymes, lupus etc. Last week i met with my neurologist for the follow up blood work report. Everything is normal he says but by the way you have myathenia gravis. You get double vision again you call me I will give you medicine. Like I am a two year old.

I have researched myasthenia and the one thing you dont want to do is be on a beta blocker or a calcium channel blocker, as both of these will aggravate the condition. I called him to ask that he change my blood pressure medication. He says I wont do that. My primary care physcian is no longer in practice with the original medical group and has left the area. I saw him only 2 weeks ago and nothing was mentioned. The point is folks Don't trust anyone. Oh and by the way the side effects you are seeing mimic myasthenia gravis. Now no one knows what causes it for sure. Stress is a factor. But if you have not been tested get yourself tested. I may not even have this disease but I am getting off this medication and I am going to find out for sure what in the heck is going on. By the way I have seen a cardiologist last month without a referral because I wanted answers and he says there is absolutely nothing wrong with my heart...so why was I put on this medication? Heaven help us all.

I started Fosomax with D one day -one dose-. I experienced pain in my back so severe I could not walk. I would let out a yell just trying to get dressed or move. It started in my pelvis then worked its way to my back (lower center) it was like a spasm. I thought i would have to go to the emergancy room. Today day two it is a little better. My pysician with be notified.
I will not go on it again.

Terrible- They say these side effects are rare but: They happened to my dad. He had gotten his first injection of zometa at around 1:00pm. by the time 5:00pm came around he was suffering with sever chills,could not swallow, could not urinate and had severe leg cramps. It only got worse. by 9:oo pm. he was in the emergancy room of the hospital with sever leg pain,his whole body was shaking, not only that, but he didn't know where or who he was. He was having hallucinations. They quickly attached him to saline to flush out his body and gave him a foli so he can urinate. The next day (yesterday) I went to see him. He was lying there unable to communicate. All he did was sleep. He had no idea what was going on. He also had a low grade fever. It was absolutly horendous. I felt like I was looking at a completely different man.
Today He is much better the zometa seems to be flushing out of his system. He was able to eat breakfast and speak to us. He kept asking what happend to him.
The doctors will not admit that this was a side effect or a reaction. They said they didn't know what he had but seemed to think it was an infection. I know better. I saw him before he took the drug, and then again after.

All the side effects he experienced are rare, but they do exist. I know first hand. Don't let the doctors tell you different
