I have had Mirena since Oct. 2007 and ever since have had frequent yeast and bacterial infections. Also my stomach has these gas pain attacks where I feel like I am going to die, it hurts all the way up my back and feels like a huge ball of air is trapped in my stomach. I also have pain all the way up both sides of my chest as this happens. I never made a connection to the mirena just thought I had some weird problem. My strings also disappeared and I had to pay nearly 300 just to make sure the thing was still in there. I was told if he can't get them he will need to do a surgical procedure to remove it- great and I got this to avoid surgery of have tubes tied! I have also been moody, depressed, no sex drive and when I had strings they poked my husband and made sex difficult. I spot constantly and I too have ruined all my panties from this brown old blood that comes out unexpectedly. My husband insists that I have it removed and after seeing that I am not alone in what I am experiencing I am going to see my doctor as soon as he opens. I have been up most the night with one of those gas pain attacks and I am miserable! I recently have been feeling as though something is kicking me in my intestine or stomach area too and I too look pregnant all the time and in fact the 20lbs that I need to loose is all belly! Thanks everyone for all the great advice wish I would have seen this before!

My 9 year old son started Singulair 5mg about 8 months ago. Shortly after, he started to occasionally complain of stomach pain and not being hungry. About 2 months ago, they changed the dosage to 10mg. He now has chronic diarrhea and severe weight loss. We stopped the medicine about 2 weeks ago, but he's not "back to normal" yet. He's never had any digestive problems before. The doctor's recommending endoscopes, and we're at our wit's end.

Well where do I begin!!! I have been taking this drug for over three months now. I have mood swings, gained 30 pounds, have a moon face, acne on my face and chest, cannot sleep at night or very restless, I have the sweats, increased appetite, sore throat, shaky, depression. I thought medicine was to help you feel better. Right now I feel worse. I wish I had never been given this prescription for the treatment of Chrohn's Disease. Next time just cut out my intestine....

I was put on Advair for extreme allergic reaction. I was coughing every night ( and it goot worse and I would cough days) and my lungs would fill up. I was tested for allergies and I came up allergic to EVERYTHING.
Recently I found out that I had roundworms ( intestinal parasites). The life cycle of the roundworm : egg is ingested- hatches in stomach - micro worm goes to heart then travels to lungs. The worm is then coughed up and swallowed- where it goes to the intestine and grows.
Could this be my unexplained "allergic to everythng?". I am still on Advair- but I am experiencing extreme muscle and joint pain. I feel like I am held together by rotton rubber bands.
I just did the search today on ADvair and I came up withthis thread- and I wonder how many other people have have parasites causing their asthma symptoms?
My next feat is egttig off Advair which I am addicted to....
Check out Dr Hulda Clark for parasite flushes. I will do this as soon as I stop nursing my baby....

Since increasing this med I have been having a great deal of intestine spasms. Is this a side effect of this drug also?

My 79yr old mother-in-law was given Levaquin at the ER on New Year's Eve for a bronchial infection (?) Her regular DR couldn't see her that day. She has since been in the hospital twice with severe diarrhea. The 1st time it occured x-rays showed an obstruction in her intestine but no mass was found. She was given fluids, a tube down her nose to pump out stomach contents and sent home after 3 days. She began having severe 10-15x daily, diarrhea and was then again admitted to hospital. Her DR keeps saying he thinks Levaquin caused this.
Is this permanent? What can be done now?

I am 24 years old. I started using the Nuvaring about 9 months ago, back in November shortly after my youngest son was born. In January, only two months after starting it, I was beginning to have severe stomach pains and a lot of nausea that would come and go throughout the day. I went into the emergency room one night because it got so bad and they told me that I was going to have to have my gallbladder removed due to large stones. I'm trying to figure out whether anyone else has had any similar issues with the ring. I have read here and there that gallbladder disease is a side effect but I also have issues with it in my family. Has anyone else had a problem with this? I have also dealt with a lot of depression, headaches, slight weight gain, mood changes (just as bad, if not worse then while I was pregnant) and I am going to have to schedule an eye exam because it seems like the past few months, my eye sight has just gone down hill fast. I have never had to wear glasses or contacts.
Has anyone else out there had issues with their gallbladder and eyesight? Most of the posts that I see are saying issues with hair loss and depression. I am seriously thinking about talking to my doctor about changing methods, I was just wondering if there are people having symptoms like mine or whether I need to attribute them to something else. Any information would be helpful, Thanks.
