I almost forgot symptoms and conditions

Hi, I was injected with you guessed it Kenalog 4 months ago for neck and shoulder pain. I now have a dollar sized indent beside my left shoulder blade that is purpish in color and ugly as hell to look at. It has also caused increased shoulder pain, shoulder winging as well as bicep and tricep weakness in addition to shoulder drop. I am so pissed because if I would of been informed that any of this could of been a possibility I would of never of elected to have this done. (And think I actually paid for it) I have spoken to many Neurosurgeon as well as Neurologists and they all seem puzzeled by my outcomes and have scheduled me for an EMG NCS test to try to rule out nerve damage. I have also been told that this could be permenant and could continue to get worse. I am so saddened by everyone's post yet relieved that I am not the only one out there. I was beginning to believe that I was alone. Oh, I almost forgot... I also had my period for 22 days straight which caused me to think that there was a problem and had to go through a series of tests through my OBGYN to rule out potential problems which just ended up leading back to this drug. :(

I've been on LISINOPRIL (10mg) for a few months. I must add that this is in combination with ATENOLOL (25mg). I consider myself lucky to still be above ground after reading the comments just on the LISINIPRIL !! The dreaded strangling cough which struck at anytimehad me thrown out of my bridge club. The dreams and the sweat-soaked pyjamas and bad sleep patterns left me feeling as though I'd just escaped from Freddy Kruger. The cramps in the lower legs were heart stopping....and to top it all, yesterday I found I couldn't get my shoes on because my feet were swollen (though this could be the ATENOLOL...Or worse, the cocktail of the two. And I almost forgot, the pins and needles up both arms and the tingling figertips and the mild stroke when I was on the phone and started speaking gibberish to a friend. I was never like this before, all I had was slightly high blood pressure, not very serious diabetes, and slight anxiety attacks. Now I'm a short tempered, confused, coughing, tired, unable to concentrate wreck, unable to function in bed and left wondering how much longer I have left to live! I'm taking none today and seeing my doctor tomorrow...I will keep you posted should I still be alive.

itchy hands and feet, numbness of lips as well as cheek area
I was prescribed trileptal after having surgery for trigeminal neuralgia. I underwent a microvascular decompression surgery so the side effects are far less than the pain I felt prior to surgery. although if I dont take the medication as presribed down to the hour the pain comes back so its like 6 in on and half dozen of the other, oh I almost forgot I also am very forgetful after being presribed this med.

wow I almost forgot to add to the previous post...

incredibly decreased sex drive! I mean I am sooo attracted to my boyfriend and can still get turned on, but when in bed together I dont wanna have sex, or do anything sexual. It's so depressing. Once we get into things I typically enjoy it, but its not the same as it used to be. I cant get excited about it anymore :(

What that heck is it about Yasmin that is making it so different from any other pill?
Why am I turning into a "Yasmaniac"!?

Dear Chrissy,

im fine sweetie thanks for asking, had the really bad 6 days post period and then i hit energy plus i almost feel like the old me in that respect, im taking each day as it comes and like you have told me so many times there will be the good days more so as time goes on. I have started the agnus cactus but know this takes a while to get into the system but the flax seed oil capsules i believe have made a difference and i have lost 6 kilos also so i feel good about that. SILKE that ligt bulb switched on for me too and this past two weeks i have rediscovered my husband and he is rapt, i almost forgot what it was like to have those wantings again......
I so hope that this good feeling is going to last more and more and not slip as i get post period again or if it does that it might get less each month
thanks again for asking about m chrissy i have missed you too
Lisa
