Freaky symptoms and conditions

I was on Lamictal to treat my Bipolar for a year and a half. I discontinued it since I got nailed with the freaky side effect of Hearing loss and Tinnitus. If I would have known things would end up like this I would have never taken it. It has been 4 months since I last took it. My hearing loss has stabled out well below the normal.

I am a 27 y/o male in good physical condition (i did a triathlon 2 months ago) I was prescribed levaquin 750mg a week ago for an throat infection and fever. After the first dose I had sever abdominal pain (like someone was stabbing me). After the 3rd dose my back started to hurting and my calf's cramped up. I stopped the medication immediately. It has been 5 days since I stopped the medication and I have a burning sensation on my back. It is on both sides and stretches around toward my stomach. It feels like I have bad sunburn but there is no redness, swelling or discoloration. I also still have fever and muscle spasms all over my body (mostly in my legs). I went to my doctor yesterday and he is running a bunch of blood testes and I hope he can find a way to treat the symptoms. Does anyone know how long this should last? I just want it to go away so I can get on with my life. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

I just posted as Guest 39694 but I forgot some of the other things I am experiencing and felt I should post all of them. Last night I had lots of shoulder pain on my right side...now, my shoulder has been completely blown out but I didn't understand why it would last night. I was extremely bloated. My stomach was so bloated that it felt like I had gained 10 lbs over night. My lower back has been sore but the pain was greatly increased last night. I started freaky out and wondering if I was having a stroke. I am at a loss. My doctor didn't seem to think my symptoms were serious but I can't help but think that I am missing something.

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to post how I was doing. I have been off Yasmin now for 5 1/2 months. The first 3 months I felt pretty good, had some of the numbing, tingling, anxiety etc. However I had normal periods (like when I was on the pill). The 4th month June, I didn't get my period at all. I think I went some where around 50 days without a period.

So I skipped Junes period and come July, My breasts were really sore right around ovulation. I had really awful bloating, I could hardly button my pants, and had horrible cramps for 2 weeks before I got it. I had a constant headache for about 2 weeks. Then the week right before I got it, I had spotting. Every time I would go to the bathroom there would be spotting, however not enough to wear a tampon. The sat. before I got it I spent the whole day in the bathroom with constant diarrhea.

I was really worried that I was pregnant so I took a test Monday the 10th (we definitely do not want a child right now) and of course I got it that afternoon and it lasted until sat.

The first day it was pretty heavy but the rest of the days it was fairly light. Now I'm wondering am I going to get it in Aug. 10th or around that date or is it going to be another 50 days. It's kinda freaky because I felt like crap the whole time I wasn't menstruating. I was tracking my cycles so I now that I ovulated which was my only sanity in knowing I wasn't really pregnant.

Has anyone else gone through this and if so was it an all of a sudden thing where your cycles just snapped back to normal or was it a gradual thing.
Thanks,
Hill

I've been taking toprol for over 3 weeks now for slightly fast heartrate. I've been experiencing headaches almost daily and a fuzzy (not with it in my head feeling) and my feet are cold alot, other than this, it's hepled me pretty much with the fast HB but I also experienced palps. before takinf the toprol, especially around that time of month, hoping it's hormonal and was told it probaby was, but the Toprol hasn't seemed to be helping that alot. I'm not real sure how I feel about the medication. I have another appt with my cardiologist on Monday the 21st of March. We'll see what she has to say. It's freaky putting crap like this in my body but a fast HB is creepier, but if I could get rid of the headaches, I think it would be fine.

Paralyzed diaphragm after kenalog injection=January 2005 I woke up after sleeping crooked on my couch with a stiff neck.After 5 days the neck spasm was still there so I went to Urgent Care and got a Kenalog 40 with Marcaine shot at the base of my neck.My neck felt better but I noticed my breathing was labored.(I am a swim instructor and am VERY aware of my breathing)After seeing a Pulmonologist and having EVERY diagnostic test done, there was no other explanation for the paralysis.Pulmonologist blamed it on the shot also said could be "idiopathic". The phrenic nerve(which controls diaphragm) runs from the neck down to the diaphragm. Lawyer said he couldn't find enough cases/examples to justify this as a case. The uncanny timingAND location of the kenalog shot with my paralysis is very freaky.Has this happened to anyone? Thank you for reading this.

I NEARLY DIED BECAUSE OF YASMIN. Now that i have your attention, i am not lying.
My GP put me on Yasmin for endometriosis and like so many of you i experienced all the weird freaky and depressive side effects. But it was in the middle of the night 30th october 2004 when i woke not being able to breathe that the emergency room of my local hospital took 11 long hours of pain to find a 4 inch long blood clot in my lung caused by the contraceptive pill! i spent a week in hospital and another two weeks in bed and then was put back in hospital where they told me i have lost a third of my right lung. i have been on warfarin, lost six months of my life with my kids and husband and i am now extremely suspicious of any drug medication of treatment. i cannot ever take any sort of hormone including for breast cancer or menopause. i do not know what other effects this will have on my life yet, it is too soon.
LISTEN TO YOUR BODIES LADIES. IF THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG KEEP TELLING SOMEONE UNTIL THEY LISTEN.

At least I know I'm not the only one who had a bad side effect from this drug. I started taking it 4 months ago, and took it for 3 days, and then I told my doctor that I wouldn't take it anymore. It wasn't that I was tired exactly, but unable to move. It was like something sucked all the energy out of me. It was an extreme hardship to get off the couch, or walk to the kitchen, bathroom, etc.
One time during those 3 days, I was sitting on the floor putting food in my rats' cage. My bf was sitting a few feet away playing a video game. I turned around and tried to stand up, but I couldn't. I just sat there and stared across the room, concentrating on how I was going to get up, and I did that for about 5-10 minutes. My bf said, "What are you staring at?" I said, "Nothing, I'm just trying to stand up, but I don't think I can."
Eventually, I made my way back to the couch. I have never felt that way before, and it was really freaky. It was like there were weights holding me down and I could hardly move at all, and everyone thought I was just being lazy or overreacting. Has this happened to ANYONE but me?

when taking methadone i get very ichty and really tired. There has been times that i couldnt sleep at all i suggest that nobody should take it at all. I experience my skin hurting,my head hurts. people take perscription drugs to get high like myself but not anymore i have overdosed and died on methadone it was alittle freaky please dont take this drug people.

Lots of leg cramps & severe bruising have been my problems with this drug. I have been on Yasmin for a year to clear up severe acne, which it did beautifully. But these bruises are really freaky and sore. My sister-in-law is also taking Yasmin and is also having problems with cramping.
