Heat rash symptoms and conditions

I have been io Lisinopril for several months, and the only side effect I can say is a VERY ANNOYING rash on the inside of my upper thighs. It comes and goes and gets worse with warmth, like a heat rash. I also have now developed a rash on my butt that is looks to me like shingles. Very itchy, to the point of bleeding from scratching. I treated with diaper rash ointment and triple antibiotic ointment to not much improvement. Reently tried a jock itch ointment which seems to be working. Also took myself off Lisinopril 2 days ago, and things are getting better, but very slowly........

I HAD MY MIRENA PUT IN JULY 28TH NAD I HAVE HAD NON-STOP CRAMPING AND HORRIBLE NON-STOP SMELLY SPOTTING!!! PLEASE HELP..... I FEEL LIKE I HAVE SOME TYPE OF STD......I ALSO BROKE OUT INTO A FACIAL HEAT RASH THAT LASTED ABOUT 6 DAYS. I CALLED MY GYN AND HE SAID IT WAS NOT DUE TO THE MIRENA, WHICH I FIND VERY HARD TO BELIVE SINCE ITS THE ONLY THING THAT HAS RECENTLY CHANGED.

I was on a tapering dose of Prednisone taking 60mg a day for the first 4 days and then 40 for three days and then twenty for the rest of a twelve day period. I am so productive on the stuff! I cleaned my entire house, got a lot done at work, and have really reaped the benefits of the added energy. My skin and gums never looked better.

Sleeping through the night is hard because of the nervousness and because it makes me have to use the restroom (urination) frequently. It makes me sweat a lot too, so I cannot get comfortable at night. Also, I get very very thirsty and wake up in the mornings with horrible headaches on the sides of my head.

I have been off of the prednisone now for almost one week and am starting to have problems. I have a red itchy rash all over my body (stomach, legs, arms, etc) that resembles a heat rash that began to appear the second day off of the tapered prednisone pack. I am starving and want to eat everything in sight! The rash is my biggest side effect and strangely enough I was on the prednisone for poison ivy! That rash has gone and now this one is worse. The poison ivy was not as bad as the side effect rash from the prodnisone. The side effect rash covers a larger area and itches worse.

I was taking mobic 15mg for 2 weeks for arthritis and shoulder impingement. After 5 days I began to have hot flashes and developed a heat rash on the back of my legs from the heat built up from sitting in a chair. I called the doctor and I was advised the mobic was not causing the problems and to continue taking it. Near the end of the second week of taking mobic, my skin was noticeably hot all the time (I was not running a fever). I could not sit or lay down for more than 10 minutes without the heat buildup getting to hot to bear. The last night I spent standing up under a ceiling fan to keep from getting uncomfortably hot. I stopped taking the mobic and symptoms began going away within 24 hours. The mobic worked much better than the naproxen for pain management, but the side-affects were not tolerable.

I agree with some of you I am taking 5mg and I am always having headaches and Hot Flashes I feel hot all the time and Upset stomach too.

On day 12 of a 14 day treatment of Septra DS the backs of my thighs began to itch. I thought I might have gotten a heat rash from the vinyl padded chairs at my work. Just to be safe I stopped the meds because I have a history of antibiotic allergies. That was on a Friday. By Monday afternoon I had to leave work early to rush to my doc who said I probably had a rash from the bronchitis I was treated for (something called viral exanthem). I didn't buy it but trusted the doc. Two days later I was in agony. I itched EVERYWHERE! Relentless horrible itching. I took 2 full strength benadryls every 3 hours to no avail. Tried calamine lotion,etc. Nothing worked. The doc finally gave me 40 mg of prednisone for 5 days. But it's day 3 of the steroid and I started itching horribly again last night.
I know it's the sulfa because I now remember some slight itching the last time I took it. So beware... itching on sulfa is a red flag... your skin is telling you something!

My side effect is POST NASAL DRIP...the choking kind. I have to stop talking or even moving to get thru the coughing bout and to keep from throwing up. I know it's gross but a few nites ago, i had to spend between 5-7 minutes throwing up. ALSO, like someone mentioned in a previous comment, sunburn but mine in the form of a heat rash. I sat on my balcony and got some sun. Have done this many times in the past and just got a little darker and warm....I broke out in fine bumps on my face!! Seeing my doc in the morning....I've had enough!

I have experienced vaginal infections as well as hives around my eyes (which have been severly swollen) and on my neck. It almost reminds me of a heat rash

I've only been on Prednisone for about 5 days for Mono. I was on it about a month earlier for a strange rash I developed. The thing is I don't have any side effects. Except this morning I woke up and had a rash similar to a heat rash all over the front of my torso, and I have little red welts all over the palms of my hands. Is that even a side effect of Prednisone? I actually hope so, cause that's the only explanation I can come up with.

Oh my goodness, Nuvaring is horrible. I thought it would be so great, considering I am terrible at taking the pill daily. Well I am into my 4th month of it and just lately (like the past week) my boobs are so sore, I have a rash at on my pantyline. At first I thought it was from shaving but then it didn't go away, so I blamed it on being a heat rash.....Well I know my body and i knew something was up. So I went online and other women had the same symptoms. I have been very tired lately too. So BUHBYE NUVARING!

In response to those of you suffering from severe gas and bloating.... I also experienced both of these along with anxiety, rapid heart beat, sleeplessness, depression, and overall lethargy. I have been on Yasmin for over a year and just started having these side effects so it is not always immediate. I stopped two weeks ago and the gas and bloating was awful for a week and now has seemed to be getting better. The anxiety and mood swings are still present but the fogginess and sluggishness have gone away almost completely. In addition, I started getting a strange heat rash all over my torso and legs about a year ago and this has gone away after stopping Yasmin. Who knows what else this drug is doing to our bodies. On a positive note, the side effects seem to be going away so if you are in doubt about taking this pill, stop now while your symptoms are reversable! Thanks for all of your input!

OMG - I am SO glad for finding this site.

I have been on Advair for almost 3 years now. I started off on 250, and then went up to 500 when I had a severe attack in the spring of 2002. I use to be a relatively healthy person (besides my severe asthma and allergies) - since starting advair (coincidence? i think not) - I have developed a RASH of medical ailments. To the point where I can barely exercise now, I have gained over 40 pounds, and have hyperthyroidism. I experience fibromyalgia type symptoms on a daily basis as well. I have tried a VAST range of diets from weight watchers to atkins to sugar busters to south beach (which I am now on) - I have been unable to lose ANY weight on ANY of these diets. NONE. ZILCH. I tried an exercise plan for about 4 or 5 months - for 4 or 5 days a week, doing all the exercise I could stand to do (even though I felt like I was goin to pass out, and my heart rate was through the roof) - but I simply gained more weight. I have striae (stretchmarks), dark purple ones ALL over my hips, the insides of my legs all the way down to below my knees. I have seen women 200 pounds heavier than me that don't have stretch marks like these. My back constantly hurts, as well as the center part of my chest (around my sternum). I bruise easily. And it feels like I'm constantly having to clear my throat. As if I'm always congested. In the winters I get this insanely dry skin (which I never experienced before Advair). It gets to the point that I am constantly applying lotion because my skin cracks so severely that it bleeds. I cannot be in the direct sun longer than about 45 minutes, or I experience heat rash. And recently I had a raging case of hives, that did not respond to medicine lasting for about 2 months.

My anxiety is through the roof. I've dealt with a little bit of anxiety on and off my entire life, but NOTHING to this extreme. I can hardly do alot of the things I use to love (big sporting events, movies, weddings, etc) due to it. Just 3 days ago, I had a panic attack so severe, it sent me to the hospital, because I thought I was having a heart attack (again I am only 27).

I presented the notion of Advair being the cause of all of my problems now to my doctors. And they both (endocrinolgist AND GP) both laughed it off - saying that Advair is not systemic, and would not cause any of my problems (even though cortiscosteroids are KNOWN to cause hyperthyroidism *which I have now*).

I love the fact that I never need my inhaler. I love the fact that I can be around animals, and if I sneeze it won't send me into an asthma attack. I love being able to breathe, and not having to carry around my breathing machine with my wherever I go.

But I don't love who I have become EVER since starting Advair. Literally. I am 27 years old, and I feel like I'm 96. I can barely walk half a mile now. I always feel horrible, and I never quite feel like myself. I am lucky I have an office job that I can sit on my ass all day, because I don't know how I would survive otherwise.

Why are doctor's so quick to dismiss Advair as a culprit for these things?!?!? Are they that eager to just make our money? Is there an Advair quota? Do they get a bonud from the pharmaceudical reps for selling more of it?

I just don't get it.
Especially now after reading all of this.
