Feburary symptoms and conditions

Hi everyone, i thought i was the only one with the hair loss problem..im a healthy 22 year old female who has always had long thick hair..i had my first gardisil shot back in september 2007-everything was fine...i did delay the second shot and went for it on the 16th jan 2009..2-3 weeks past and my hair is falling out rapidly..i am soo scared im going to go bald...i cant think of anything esle that would be causing the problem other than the gardisil injection i had a month ago...it scares me that so many other people have the same problem...i do not wish to go for the 3rd injection

I have been on prednisone for 5 1/2 months now, I was hospitalized starting in February until like the 25th of March for a bad exacerbation(sp) of my ulcerative colitis. I have taken prednisone for 9 1/2 months out of the last 17 months. I have experienced everything from growing facial hair I don't want to loosing what hair I do in a short period of time. Most of my hair loss started after I weaned off the prednisone about one week ago, or lets say it got much worse. I also while on prednisone got have got to experience the lovely side effect of pysicosis(sp) and am on meds to couter react what it has did to me. This is a evil and horrible drug, I hate it with a passion for all the harm it has did to me. I now have joint pain, restless sleepless nights, night sweats, tremors, not to mention the rapid weight gain. And to top all this off I am still not in remission, so this drug was used all in vain. Please be careful using this awful drug and if you have to use it, only use it for a few weeks at the time and not long term...the side effects can be horrendous and sometimes like in my case permanent to some extent. I do wonder about the hair loss, it has been worse this time than ever...I hope it stops soon.

I found this web site in February, and posted my side effects at this time, and stopped taking lipitor. I have been getting better every day and most of my muscle weakness has gone away. I started including Co Q-10 100mg daily and 2000 of vitamin C if i don't take the Co Q-10 for a few days my burning pain seems to be back especially in my arms and calfs I have no health insurance so I have been unanable to have any blood work done. or even seen a doctor for any of my concerns regarding the Lipitor. I just know that when I did go to the doctor with complaints about weakness and pain they would give me more medications for the symptoms.

Has anyone had extreme heavy bleeding/clots after having the Mirena removed? This is day 3. The last time I had such heavy bleeding I had just had my son. When do you start to worry about the bleeding?

I have been taking Singulair for months now....and to be honest I think I am going crazy. After reading some of this stuff on here, I think I am going to quit using it for a couple days and see how I feel. As of now, sometimes during the day I get confused, dizzy, and feel like I am falling a part. I had a check-up on this back in Feburary and they said nothing was wrong with me. I then went to the ER shortly after because I felt really confused and fuzzy headed. They checked me out, took my blood, EKG, glucose tolerance test, and a CT Head scan.....all came back negative. I have been feeling the same ever since. I have recently made an appointment with a head shrink to talk about stuff...thinking it may be work related stress or anxiety. If it truely is the Singulair that is doing this to me, then I am going to be mad that I did not quit using it earlier. It almost feels like I have lost most of this year to a haze of thought....hopefully, when I quit the Singulair it will all go away....if not....then I must be going crazy.

@guest 12599:

You wrote, that you think agnus castus might help very good for moodiness and so on. I was put on Agnus Castus a month ago because since getting off Yasmin in Feburary I only had one regular period around easter and then no more and I'm completely bloated and pumped full with water and so on! But I still don't feel any big changes in my symptoms, caused by the hormone imbalance after Yasmin.

Did you take Agnus Castus, too, and if so, then how long did it take for you to feel an improvement??

Most doctor's say, that it might take about 2 or 3 months taking Agnus Castus until you feel a change in your symptoms (well, after all it's a natural medicine), but I've already gone through a very very hard and long time WITH horrible symptoms brought on by Yasmin so I don't have much patience to wait any longer getting my hormones back in balance and feeling like my old self at least!

Would be very helpful to hear from you again!! Thanks!!

I have been taking 25mg of topamax since Feburary 2005, it has been great for me. However, the side effect has been confusion, slight memory loss, stomach cramps, diarreah, crankiness, tingling in my habds and feet began the same day I started taking topamax, and blurred vision. This is of concern to me because of my profession as a preschool teacher. However, I am grateful because of the drecrease in the amount of migranes that I now suffer. This is an very interesting drug, I hope doctors know what they are doing.

I have taken Levaquin many times for sinus infections and the more I take it the worse the side effects are. I can not sleep and have anxiety. I have a MVP so this does happen to me sometimes but, it is well under control....so, I know when I take Levaquin it is from taking it.....This time I can not take it. I have to be on it for 3 wks---I will never last. Last night I had to take a zanax to get to sleep. I have a very bad sinus infection. It has recurred 3 times since Feburary. I will be calling my MD today for sure..........
