Friggin symptoms and conditions

HI,
I had my Mirena fitted in March 07, the first fitting was a nightmare as I went into spasm so the doctor was able to fit it, that experience was so painful so i had to go back again about 3 weeks later, that time it was a little painful but bearable. I thought at the time brilliant, no probs at all except for the obvious bleeding and cramps for the first month or so till it settles in. Things weren't too bad to start with once I stopped bleeding even though I bled every month, I did at this point start to get what looked like acne on my face which was so itchy. Then one night in July I experienced the most horrendous pains in my right side, i didn't know what to do with myself, i thought to myself I'll leave it for a few days and see how I feel, so 4 days later I went to see my doctor as I wasn't any better starting to feel worse, started getting pains in my lower abdomen, she checked me over and wasn't sure what it was, I said it feels like my reproductive organs related, she wasn't convinced !! done a few tests etc.

So she sent me home and said if I wan't any better in a few days then to come back. That I did as I felt even worse, it was so painful to walk, I felt so ill, tired, you name it. She did check to see if my coil was still in situ and it was, so she sent some swabs off and urine sample even done a pregnancy test. We can't treat you until we know what it is we're treating she said !! How great did that make me feel, come back in a few days if you're not feeling any better, yet again I done that. Eventually the doctor said we'll try you on 2 different kinds of antibiotics to see if that sorts it and treat it as a pelvic inflammatory disorder !! Both myself and my husband wasn't convinced, but I thought hey I'll try them. I had to wait a week for the test results which turned out to be all clear which I thought they would be.

I still felt so sore all on my abdomen and in my side, really hard to explain, it felt like something was pressing on my bladder when I walked and me pain, then one night both my husband were on the internet trying to see if we could find out what was wrong with me, thinking all sorts of things, then we come across this website and it answered everything.... Now the pains in my stomach and side have gone away but I seem to constantly be bleeding which isn't very good for my sex life (my poor husband), My skin looks terrible with the acne (which I never have suffered from not even in my teens) and I'm 30.. people at work even comment on it saying whats wrong with your skin !! of course I feel tired all the time and get the pains in the legs, arms, I'm really not sure what to do now, I want to get it taken out to be honest. I've said if my skin doesn't sort itself out then Its going and thats that.... I've really had enough of it now... Is it painful to have it removed?? Any answers would be appreciated.. thank you for listening, Paula from Cornwall xx

I had a Kenolog injection in Nov. 2006, for pneumonia. I got better and thought all was fine. After a 2 months i noticed a strange indention on my upper left buttcheek. at that time it was about the size of a quarter. Also at that time, never having heard of any side effects i was stressing Big Time about why I had this "hole" in my cheek. After going to a different doctor and having a sonogram and a bunch of people looking at my behind with No answers. I finally found a Kenolg complaint web site after google-ing indentation in buttcheek. I was shocked as i finally put 2 & 2 together! Now It's Sept. 2007 I still not only have a "hole" in my cheek, it has gotten much bigger, about the size of my fist!!! It's hideous! It also aches. I use to run now that hurts my glute.The doctor has been no help. I keep hoping it gets better, but so far only worse. Does it get better and heal up?? Is anyone currently involved in any lawsuits regarding this situation?
any info would be much appreciated.

WOW!! I can't tell you how glad I am to have found this site and learned about all the side effects from lisinopril. I've been on lisinopril since about January of this year...12.5 mg. Been back to see the doc 3X since i've been on it. I complained about chest pain and coughing. I've had EKG done on me 3X (including the one done recently when I checked my self in at the ER at 2:30am) also did the treadmill stress test. I've also been referred to and did see a pulmonary specialist where they checked my lung capacity/function due to the shortness of breath. I've been friggin joggin' 7 days a week for 3 months (used to do 3X/wk) to combat the fatigue, shortness of breath, tickly & scratchy throat causing me to cough to try to clear it, tingly arms and legs, chest pain (kinda like pressure or cramping, real discomfort)...and yes, i feel like my days are numbered. It's been such a life altering experience. I'm stopping lisinopril starting today. I hope the chest pain will get better. Will post again in a few days and let you all know how I feel. Thank you all again for taking the time to post your experiences. God bless!

Has anyone ever suffered a loss of feelings after stopping Yasmin?

Like three weeks ago everything was so perfect... wonderful boyfriend of two years and relationship and just everything was going so great and then my boyfriend came to visit me during the Christmas week and at first everything was going perfect and then later on before he left (he lives in Ohio, I live in Illinois) I just didn't want to be 'intimate' with him or anything. I figured it was just the pill causing me to lose my libido but then I started to worry that maybe that wasn't the case and I was just losing feelings for him. I stopped taking the pill a few days later (there were other reasons; constant migraines and my contacts were almost unbearable to wear) but then I just started to become.... numb. I couldn't get out of bed or go to work and I didn't know how I felt about anything anymore. But yeah... I've read some articles about how birth control effects the chemical Serotonin in your brain and if you have a low level you can become emotionally numb. I just wanted to know if I was the only one... if it's really birth control, or if I'm just losing my friggin mind here.

It's horrible.. I'm supposed to be moving in with him in less than 4 months and I know I love him, he means the world to me. I just...can't feel it right now.

The pill is the devil.
