Fried foods symptoms and conditions

Like all of the ladies that posted. I had the mirena put in place 6 weeks after my daughter was born, she just turned 1. I have had nothing but problems. I have not had one period since this thing was inserted only discharge and a odor, which i have never had a problem with. I had to be placed on paxil for depression and anxiety, I have sleepless nights and not because of the baby she has slept all night since day one. I have no sex drive and when i attempt its painful. I am 22 and active and weighed 170 the day i gave birth and in 6 weeks i had only 5 pounds to go to be at my original 130lb pre baby weight..I now weigh 180 lbs. Iv tried all the old tricks, i quit sodas, fried foods and switch to water. i was working out with no response. I found this site last night and called my doctor first thing this morning but im a full time student without insurance and he told me it would be $200.00 which is a lot when your a parent in these times. so i called planned parenthood they will remove it for $ 50.00 and that includes a pelvic and a pap, so i can try a new method. Now that is the student rate but even at regular it is cheaper then the alternative.
good luck ladies, i can honestly say i feel your pain

Hi,

I've been taking YAZ for 2 1/2 weeks. First I should tell you that I suffer from PMDD and I wanted to give this a try. I would eat none stop...bad stuff like donuts and fried foods and I was just very touchy and angry for no reason with no energy. I know it's still early but I did have the extreme fatigue, sharp painful headaches, blurred vision, muscle aches the first couple of weeks but yesterday and today I feel GREAT! To early yet to notice if my moods will continue to improve or not be so drastic before I start my period but this is exactly the time that I would start being a monster before...I did feel a little sad during the first couple of weeks but that has gone away! I'm happy except I have noticed some hair loss just in the last couple of days. I hope this is temporary until my body adjusts to the medication because if you suffer from PMDD you will know that the minor initial side effects are definatley worth it (except I would rather have my hair and be mean) lol...we will see. I hope this helps...Sex drive is fine so far...Please write something regarding hair loss if you have been taking it longer and yours stopped after awhile. I don't wanna lose too much. Take care! God Bless Women...We have to be strong and we are!

Hi everyone:

I'm on 200g of Lamictal. It has stabilized my mood a little bit, but I've gained 10 pounds and can't lose it despite working out 2 hours a day jogging and rowing. Granted, I do eat chocolate and fried foods sometimes but otherwise my diet is really good. My hair has thinned a lot (but I started with very fine hair - so it's not that huge of a difference). I've got a bald patch on the back of my head - and I'm female. I'm going to try to get extensions to make it look better.

I want to go off this desperately. I weaned myself of Lithium and Seroquel and this one is the last to go. wish me luck - because I am still suicidal and If I have to stay on this for the rest of my life, I would rather die and just get it over with.

I've been on synthroid now for about a year. My dosage is VERY little (0.075). My doctor keeps running blood tests every 3 months and assures me I am within the "lower-end" of the norm, but I still feel tired, sleep deprived, wake up with night-sweats and I keep gaining weight...

I am only 24 and have just been told that I need to take this medication for the rest of my life, it\s pretty depressing. I keep asking if there are other ways to lose weight and feel more energized. He tells me that I need to keep taking this medication and has put me on a "sleep hygeine" routine where I go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.

Does this "disease" mean I will always be overweight and tired for the rest of my life? I would like to know if someone else with more experience with this medication can give any sort of advice? Feeling a little hopeless about it and not really interested in complaining to my doctor anymore.

Thanks:)

My husband just started taking Simvastatin for cholesterol a couple of weeks ago. Has begun having sleep problems, tosses and turns and wakes up consistently about 5 hours after taking his 20mg dosage before bedtime....Any others out there?

I have been on Toprol 25 mg for almost a year for heart palpitations. I has worked for the palpitations, but the side effects have been a challenge. I have gained about 20 pounds, have the vivid nightmares, lack of energy, etc. One thing that I have noticed recently is the increased severity of allergies and difficulty breathing. Anyone else experiencing this?
