Errands symptoms and conditions

Wow, to hear that it was not all in my head and I am not the baby that I thought I was. I had my mirena put in July 29,2009 and did it hurt. My ob/gyn asked me if I had taken some ibuprofen before hand. Of course, no one told me too so I had not. So, I cramped all evening in pain. I had plans to run some errands after the insertion and did but had to do child birth breathing just to make it to the next light. I even went so far as to pinch myself hard enough to leave fingernail indentations on my forearm several times to take my mind off the VERY PAINFUL cramps. After about two days of cramping, I thought that I was in the clear. Well, come to find out that I should have bought stock in Tampax since I have pretty much have been wearing a tampon every day since insertion. Now, that it has been two full months, I am considering having it removed. I have already had my children, my husband is "fixed" and I have no reason for birth control. I just wanted to have lighter monthly periods not lighter DAILY periods. As to the weight gain, my doc told me that that would not be an issue. Well, I work out four to six days a week and have gained weight that I can not lose( also in the belly) since the insertion. What is up with this thing??

About eight to ten years ago i had a violent reaction to lactaid. I had taken it numerous time before with no problems and then I woke up one morning - had a bowl of cereal and a lactaid pill - within the hour I was experiencing severe stomach pain along with vomiting and diarrhea. I thought it might have been due to the fact that i had had very little to eat the day before and only a bowl of cereal that morning with the extra strength pill.

the following weekend i was brave enough to try it again with some ice cream at night (this time i had a full stomach from dinner). BIG mistake - this time it was worse - the stomach pain was out of this world (i have a high pain threshold but this had me in the fetal position) and i couldnt leave the toilet and trash can for a few hours. My girlfriend was scared and called one of those nurse hot lines. they told her to coat my stomach with some kaopectate - which seemed to help. I checked the bottle of lactaid - and the expiration date had passed - so i threw it away and swore off of lactaid pills. fortunately they came out with the lactaid milk!

Fast forward to now - never touched the stuff again. well the other day I was out of lactaid milk and my wife (yes the same girlfriend) had picked up some samples of lactaid pills at a trade show - so I guess with the passage of time - I forgot how painful and miserable the other experiences had been - so i took the pill. Nothing happened!

Last night i decide to take another one because i had a craving for ice cream (had been awhile!). I figured it was ok since i had no reaction a week ago. Well sure enough - within the hour I was on the floor in severe stomach pain - followed by vomiting and diarrhea. This time we had kaopectate in the house - so i started taking it - well i just threw it right back up.

This episode lasted about an hour and a half this time. There was a metallic taste in my mouth about the third time i vomited, and the fifth and final time, there was puddle of yellow liquid that came out at the end.

I found this site while searching for "tired, achy, bloated, weight gain" on Google. I'm wondering if this is what is going on with me. I have been on NR for about 8 months now and lately I have been so tired that I fall asleep when I get home from work, and I can't do more than a couple of hours of errands, etc, before I am worn out. I am a photographer and after I do a wedding I ache so bad and am so exhausted that I can barely move the next day. I have also experienced increased discharge. My first few periods on NR were heavy, but just last month it was barely enough to use anything. I have no idea what is going on but would like some consistency.

I'm on 240 mg a day and its no fun at all. I've built up a big tolerance to it, so much that even at this high of a dosage, I could fall asleep in no time at all. I've been at this dose fir like 4 years now. The good thing is that I have lost a lot of weight and managed to keep it off - going from a juniors size 11 to a 3 is the best thing thats happened though. Probably the only good thing. Otherwise, its made me different in many ways. I get to feeling that I just want to be left alone a lot so I can do my own thing, whatever that may be cause it varies. Some days I have a lot of energy, get lots done (cleaning, errands, some exercise classes, stuff like that), and other days I just feel like doing nothing. Mood swings are not uncommon for me, but I have always been that way I guess. Oh well, I guess if it works for you, take it. Its worked for me, but its about time I start to think about getting off of it as its effectiveness has run its course, at least I think it has. And I don't want to try anything else, its simply time to quit the ADD drug scene entirely. But like I said, if it works for you, then go for it. Just watch out cause it can build up on you fast like it did me, and you don't want to be taking as much as I do. (Its prescribed that way for me, BTW. I don't use it illegally).

I have been on synthroid for 11 years. This past year, however, after stopping birthcontrol pill, my dosage has changed. First I was too high on 125-150 mcg and now I am back to 100 mcg. My TSH is 1.72 which is within the normal range of 1-2. My big side effect right now is extreme nausea especially after any activity, not even strenuous, such as doing some errands or grocery shopping or even up-down stairs. I have to sit really quietly before feeling slightly better. Has anyone felt this way? I feel sick all the time. Perhaps a smaller dosage of synthroid would help.

I've been on 100mg of Doxycycline for 4 days due to Bronchitis. I've experienced dizziness, disorientation, lack of appetite, and profound fatigue. While my Bronchitis symptoms are improving, the dizziness and fatigue are really limiting anything I can do during the day. I did some errands for about an hour and a half today and had to come home and take a 2 hour nap to recover. I've not had this happen to me before while taking meds of this sort.

I am 28 year old female with diabetes. My doc put me on lipitor as a preventive for my heart, as well as I do have slightly high cholestorol. Within a week of srating the med I developed body aches like the worst flu you could imagine. Th pain then became intense in my right arm, but the triage nurse at my dr's told me it was the flu and would last a few days, but I couldn't handle it and went to the ER, where they said it must be a virus (fever of 102) and sent me home. The majority of the aches went away, but my right arm remained a throbbing pain. I then developed a bronchial virus, and the pain let up afor a few weeks, then all over, joints and muscles. Somedays I would cry all day- no narcotics seem to help enough to make it worth takeing them. Finally, a month after starting the lipitor, my doc took me off, "just in case" it was that. well, the first 2 days were better, then all the weakness, fatigue, and aches came back. I could barely climb a set of stairs, I'd be out of breath and my muscles would cramp like I'd run 5 miles. I could no longer sleep at night, 2-3 hours max...finally was admitted to the hospital where a zillion tests were done and nothing found to give a diagnosis, though mitochondrial myopathy was mentioned, as well as mitochondrial encephalytus. I can barely handle a day of a few errands, and have been out of work for months. Sometimes I think my brain is fried, cuz I can't remember the simplest things, or I forget where I am or where I'm going. Thank God I have wonderful friends to support me, and Jesus Christ to lead me through. I pray that it goes away soon, as the neuroloist says it may, otherwise I think I'll have to be put on disability. I've also put on about 30 lbs due to the exhaustion I guess, so much for those pilates!
