Horriable symptoms and conditions

My daughter had a kenalog shot for itching on May 2009. The doctor never mentioned any side effects to her. Now she has a huge indentation in her left buttock. She is only 18 yrs old and she is scare and afflicted because the dent is getting larger and disfiguring that part of her body. I read enough complains. There must be an action lawsuit against the company distributing, selling and benefiting from this drug. Some doctors also should be liable for neglecting to release the accurate potential damage (as it is known) cause by this drug. It is causing mental pain and anguish due to the disfigurement that it leaves and also constant concern about the growing destruction of the muscle cells.Enough damage have been done. Who will pay to correct the damage? ******

My son went to the Dr. with strep like symptoms. The Dr. did not take a strep test .. They just put him on a Z-pac.. The first day he threw one of them up.. I called the Dr. He said just keep taking it.. The sickness got worse.. I finally took him to the ER here in our home town.. Seems his Sore Throat went septic.. He ended up with Lemierre's Syndrome A loong month later after being in the Hospital he died.. We are all intitled to our opion.. Mine is.. The Z-pac is something that replace the cillin family.. Well guess what I found out ... if he would of gotten one of the cillin family he would be alive today.. My son was 17.. And we're finding out the dreaded FORGOTTEN DISEASE.. we've already lost a handful of teenagers & still some trying to live a normal life after this horrible disease.. they changed meds for strep.. In my opion the people that make it are responsible for his death.. He needed the old cillin family.. they gave him the right meds in the Hospital but it was to late.. He never knew what hit him.. Please ck out our web site if you love your children and say no to Z-PAC.. Here's the web sight.. ******. or you can ck us out at.. *******. Or you can contact me at ****** I'm not afraid of you ZPAC freaks.. The mother of a angel... R.I.P. Justin Rodgers.. We will love you forever.. Isn't that weird.. A pill that cost .82 cents would of safe my son.. Thanks for reading.. Please pass this on to others..

I have been on Femcon Fe for 2 months and one week. I have had my period about every 2 weeks! I am on my 4th period sense starting this pill, in a matter of 2 months.. And now I wouldn't even call it a period, I'm just bleeding all the time! I started bleeding on May 24th and today is June 8th. That is 15 days of bleeding. Every night when it's time to take the pill I question if I should or not. I keep telling myself that it will stop... but it hasn't yet. I wanted to try and finish at least 3 months to see if my body will adjust but I just don't know If I can handle the bleeding anymore.
There really hasn't been any other side effects, besides bloating. Sometimes I get so bloated I have to change what I'm wearing because the jeans no longer fit! It's horrible.

Hey you all......the lipitor saga continues. I posted #23428 on Sept 6th. On Sept 13th I picked a 30 pound piece of fabric up at work and there was a big POP in my left arm. Distal Biceps Tendon rupture.....TORE it off the Bone. I have been weightlifting for 20 years and never had an injury such as this. I am used to lifting much heavier weights with no problem. Had surgery to reattach 9/18...7 weeks post op and still in brace. Will take a year to fully heal. Both my doctor and Ortho said they have never heard of tendon rupture caused by statin drugs...but I am convinced that it was directly related to lipitor damage/side effects. I did have my doctor shaking in his shoes, I told him with conviction that I would never again take a statin drug and I held him responsible. Would like to hear from anyone who may have had tendon issues while taking this drug. I hope we all get better soon!
Peace

I have been using MiraLax for 3 months now. It has helped me tremendiously with my constipation however I have had horriable gas
and bloating I have gained 10 pounds. I am a regular exerciser and weight liftter (toning mostly) . I could not figure how I gained the extra weight. I hav'nt done or taken anything different except taking the MiraLax. I was told it did not make you gain weight or give you gas. Maybe all the studies are not out yet. I don't know but I need to get this weight off fast. Could it be water weight?? from miralax? Please if anyone who has used Miralax or a doctor who has had this problem help. I hate to quit taking Miralax because it really helps me. It has been the best thing I have used in years. I would love anyone to comment or offer advice.

I started taking Wellbutrin three weeks ago. I had been taking Zoloft for four years and it had been working fine except my insurance company tripled the cost and I was beginning to have to take more to get the same results. I thought Wellbutrin might be good alternative after doing some research and my doctor thought it would be good for me to try out. Well, since I have been taking Wellbutrin I have become emotional (wanting to cry at things I would never cry at before), more irritable, my husband says "I am not the same person", dizzy, two sips of a beer gave me a horriable headache which lasted until the next morning, I had to sit down on a bench at the mall because I felt like I was going to faint, and worse of all my brain became very "fuzzy" feeling. It was like my short term memory was damaged. I am taking a Spanish class and was doing well (A's). After I started taking Wellbutrin I could not concentrate enough in class to learn, even saying to my professor, "please skip me, I am not feeling well". It was humiliating. I have maintained a 4.0 in every class I have taken since 1999 and completed a masters degree last year. So, all in all-this was my experience. Maybe if I had taken it longer, it would have been different, but it was like torture for me. One positive note....I felt absolutely no internal depression after a week of taking it (other than being upset about the other symptoms). It worked really well in that area.....so, maybe if others do not have all the symptoms I experienced, it would be a very good drug to take for depression-just not for me!

I have been taking levequin 500mg for a spider bite. The doctor gave be a ten day supply. I noticed after a couple of days that the taste in my mouth was nauseating. Then the pain in my arms and legs was just horriable. Then the diarrhea started and I though Id never get rid of it. The waking up in the middle of the night and it felt like I had ran a race in my sleep, I was exausted, I couldnt get my head off the pillow. I will never take this poison again.

i thought my life was over. not even fourty years old and ask my doctor to write an order for a toilet lift. thats how bad my muscle hurt. getting in and out of cars, as though i were a 90 y/o. horriable! and we didn't know why. doctor did not make any refference to 'statins" . In addition to muscle death, restles leg syndrome found me as well. really thought i was dying from an unyet diagnosed disease. and where did that come from? all of a sudden everyone has it.
this was nonexistant not that long ago. similiar to the " bi -polor. every other person seems to have it or someone they know. I'm still mad. iwill never be the way I was prior to all this. I want to sue the shorts of the maker;'s and or the F.D.A.
don't they approve these drugs first? all comes back up the drain pipe . Does it not?. the cost alone from ill considered passage of such drugs does more harm than good. not only suffering but death. millions of dollars from the side effects. all these costs are passed on to the state and or one pocket book.
my cholesterol is o.k. now but with each blood test and blood donation i give mentions enzymes.. now i willl also check reports for(cpk) lookin to sue you ZOCOR..

I agree with guest 33852 about the burning and the frequent trip to the bath room. I have a 3 year old and see spent 3 days in the hospital and many trip to the emergency room due to her weezy and not able to get it controlled with breathing treatments. So she has been on singular now for 3 weeks and ever since she goes pee some times 10 times in one hour and always complains of it hurting down there. So I asked the doctor when we where still in the icu of this and he said the antibiotic she was on would take care of it. It still happen after that. So I took her to her ped doctor and they did a urine test and nothing but it still has yet to go away. She also Is not listening she seems really silly and she has been complaining of being scared ever since and shes never done that before. So I have a appointment with the asthma specialists and I am going to get her on something else. Singulair is horriable and I think doctors are just throwing it at everyone who has asthma. My brothers on it and the doctor tried to give it to my two other kids who don't have asthma ( but have a dry cough through the winter).

hi everyone, i have never seen so many people that had side effects from birth control. i thought i was the only one gees!!

AFTER I HAD MY DAUGHTER IN 1997 I GOT ON DEPO, IT WORKED JUST FINE FOR ME FOR 7 YEARS EXEPT THE HORRIABLE HEADACHES AND THE WEIGHT THAT NEVER SEEMS TO COME OFF.

SO AFTER 7 YEARS I THOUGHT I WOULD CHANGE TO ORTHO TRI CYCLIN, TO SEE IF I COULD LOSE SOME WEIGHT AND FOR THE HEADACHES TO GO AWAY, YAH RIGHT, THAT PILL HURT MY BREAST SO BAD I THOUGHT I WAS PREGNANT AGAIN! SAME HEADACHES AND NO LOSING WEIGHT. AND TO TOP IT OFF I STARTING HAVING HEART PALPITATIONS THINKING I WAS HAVING A HEART ATTACK!

SO I CALLED MY DOC AND TOLD HER MY SYMPTOMS, SO SHE SWITCHED ME TO YASMIN, AND I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME SYMPTOMS ,THE OTHER STUFF I CAN DEAL WITH BUT I HAVE NEVER HAD HEART PALPITAIONS BEFORE. I THINK I HAVE HEART PROBLEMS AND I GOING TO END UP HAVING A ATTACK.

BUT AFTER HEARING OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS, THAT SO CRAZY!!!!! AND OF COURSE WHEN YOU TELL THE DOCTOR THEY THINK YOUR CRAZY, THEY NEED TO PUT ALL OF THESE SYMPTOMS IN THIS FORUM IN THE INSERT FOR THE PILLS CUZ IF EVERYONE KNEW THE REAL SYMPTOMS OF THESE PILLS NO ONE WOULD TAKE THEM AT ALL!!!!

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING ! -NICOLE-

I think we all need to wake up and smell the coffee. This is a horriable drug. My husband is on Geodon and Wellbutrin and we are now in the process of seeking another Doctor for a second opinion. I am demanding that he be taking off both drugs and be giving something else . (He has Bi-polar) So I'm sure there is something that will allow him to be himself while controling this condition. Now I'm not even convinced that he was diognosed properly. So my goal is to start over. This is destroying his (and his family) life. NO MORE!!!

Muco-Fen hasn't really had any horriable side effects besides making me sleepy and nervous. It's worked so far. I'm happy with it

Yup another Thank God for this web site... I have been taking Yasmion for about two months and i have been in emotional hell, I can't take the depression I am irritable, moody depressed ALL the time my friends and family can't stand to be around me, and I have never been so depressed in my entire life. The good thing is my face cleared up, I have never has such a clear complexion, but I didn't loose any weight, in fact I think my appetite increased. This pill is horriable for me.

I take back what I wrote about naperson. This drug made me sick within 1 month and a half after using it. I had to go to the hospital on July 6, 2003 for throwing up numerous times, dirarrhea all night long. I even lost potassium losing so much fluid, and the nurse had to give it to me because of it would have caused me to have heart problems. Talk about being in pain, that was the worst feeling I've ever experienced. I missed work for 3 days. Slept the next day all day long. I don't recommend anyone taking this horriable drug.

I have horriable side affects on this med.I started feeling so wierd on it,I have lightheadedness,very upset stomach, no energy at all,cramps very bad,gasyness all the time,mood swings...I don't like taking this med.,but I have to but I will tell my doctor I want it changed A.S.A.P...
