Finding it hard symptoms and conditions

I've had the Mirena in for about 7 months just after my second child.... I haven't stopped spotting/bleeding since.... Its horrible. I have had the most intense headaches, to a point where I feel I cannot function. The pain so bad... It has almost dropped me to the floor.
I am constantly struggling to focus. I cry all the time. Yet have a void of emotion. I am struggling to enjoy the simple pleasures I used to enjoy. My libido...... well what can I say...... I have none....!! at first it was just an effort for my partner to begin intercourse with me.... and I would soon enough begin to enjoy it.... But lately I'm finding it hard to enjoy it at all.
I feel disgusting most of the time.... I have had odor problems... and then there's the constant bleeding!!
I feel unattractive! I feel bloated.
And I am about to start seeing a bowen therapist to help me with my structure. The joints in my sternum keep cracking.... and until I read all of this site... I didn't even begin to think that it could possibly be related.....!!!
I have also had serious suicidal thoughts.
I WANT THIS THING OUT!!!

I am currently in my second, nearly third, week of taking Chantix. Although I am smoking considerably less (from a pack a day+ to one to 1.5 cigs a day for 10 years), I can't ignore the changes in my behavior. I'm very, very irritable and almost angry-- I'm typically easy-going and happy. It's even started to effect family as my husband is finding it hard to deal with my mood. I'm really happy with the fact that I'm smoking less, but the mood swings are difficult to deal with and is what prompted me to search for symptoms online.

Aside from the anger, my symptoms are normal-- nausea, weird dreams, and I always feel like I need more sleep.

My father 64 years old has been on Lipitor for over 2 years. In the past few months he has been very quiet, finding it hard to talk and he knows what he wants to say but some words are hard to say. Severe fatique, he moves much slower, difficulty reading and to understand what he's reading. Finds it hard to write and draw and when he is sleeping he has awful twitching. Is this because of Lipitor? we are waiting for an MRI and EEG the doctor seems to feel it might be dementia or Alzheimer's and maybe so but that all doesn't add up.
Does anyone else feel like this?
Is there hope, we have taken him off Lipitor 2 days ago.
Does anyone have a good result to hear?
How do check to see if Lipitor is the problem where does that show up?

I had hip replacement surgery last August - and had the generic of Levaquin. In December I got achilles tendonitis - plus a partially torn tendon and plantar faciitis all in one foot. The heel of the other foot is hurting me also. DEFINITELY THE LEVAQUIN!!! Now my daughter just had Bariatric Bypass surgery - and the anti-biotic they gave her during the surgery was Levaquin. She is now experiencing terrible pain in her calves..and she is finding it hard to walk and do any exercise. THIS DRUG NEEDS TO BE BANNED OFF THE MARKET COMPLETELY!!!!!!!

Been taking it for a year now. I have become forgetful, arthritis pain has worsened, now so tired and foggy brained it came to the point of having to quit my job as I was unable to concentrate. And am now applying for disability. Have been without the medicine for 5 days now and finding it hard to sleep and having creepy crawly feelings on my skin. Has anyone heard that this is a aditictive drug? Because it sure feels like withdrawals to me. Still have my hair...thank god for small favors!

Hi eveyrone,
I wrote a post but it did not show up for some reason. Oh well if it show up again sorry!!! Anyway I wanted to thank all of you for all your support. I have had all my blood test done on Monday. I was so scared too but then just had it done. It all came back normal. I was glad about that but still hate the anxiety and depression. I have been on the Lexapro for 2 wks now. I was feeling better. I have gone to my moms group this week, helped in my sons classroom and the sleep was getting alot better. The muscle jerking was going away but last night everything came back about 2 in the morning. I woke up with the muscle jerking, panic attack, sweating and just feeling restless and awful. I was so mad, I thought I was getting better. Anyway, I was able to get back to sleep and I woke up about 7 in the morning. I had a horrible stabbing pain in my right ovary. I knew at that moment that it was ovulation cramps. I use to get them all the time before being on b/c pills. I am right in the middle of my cycle. Do you guys think that these symptoms are getting worse again because of the ovulation? I hate the muscle jerking. It was getting so much better and last night was horrible. It has to be hormonal right? It's so frustrating. I just want to be normal again. I went to a therapist the other day because I just am finding it hard living with the new me. She said that I was totally chemically thrown into a depression and anxiety. She explained it really well. WE have 3 major chemical in our brain, seritonin, norphendrine, and someother one. Sorry about the spelling. Anyway she said these 3 control our pain, emotions, and sleep wake cycle. When they get altered even slightly, it throw our whole body off. She said the first sign of them getting affected is having trouble falling asleep. It's really scary because that was my first symptom on the Yaz. I started having trouble falling asleep. I never had that problem before. I had no clue it was the pill at that time. She seemed to know alot about yasmin and yaz and did not seem to please with them. It makes me so mad that it did this to us. i have accepted the having to take Lexapro. I know I would not have gone down this road but the night I wanted to end my life because I could not go on living this way really scared me. I don't want my kids growing up like that. We had a very happy and healty family before YAZ. Right now I have to do whatever I can to function for them. I just wish we all never took these pills. I wish we could do something. How many womens life are going to be ruined from this? Oh yea, does anyone else have the really oily hair? It's really gross. I am also getting these red painful cyst on the back of my scalp because of all the oil. They hurt really bad. I never had oily hair. Well I am glad for this site and for Kim. WE have been helping eachother everyday. It's nice when you have people that know what you are going through. I saw someone lives in AZ. I live in Mesa, AZ. WEll i wil be back to post again.
