Iv fluids symptoms and conditions

I wanted to make sure I updated my post as I had a very bad experience with this birth control pill. I posted very serious suicidal thoughts, severe anxiety, no sleep, etc and after 5 days I called my doctor. He ran a few tests and noticed that I had developed a rash that I had paid no attention to. I was sent over to another doctor who confirmed that I was allergic to an inactive ingredient in the pill. My "side effects" were getting worse simply because the more I took the more I was reacting. I was immediately admitted to the hospital and given IV fluids to flush my body and shots to counter effect the allergic reaction. I have not taken bcp in over 15 years and there was no way to know about this in advance. I feel 100% better now, not taking any bcp at the moment and was thankful for the cramps that I woke up with this morning! : ) I guess from my story is make sure you are informed, I didn't call my doc, wanted to see if it would pass and was not aware of the "severe" side effects. I would have been told after day 1 to stop taking them had I been more informed. My experience is very unique and was in no way a direct result of the birth control pill name, but only of one of the inactive ingredients. Best of luck to everyone!

I am on day 5 of Loestrin 24, I do not read the "pamplets" that come with medicine simply because if I read it I will get it, power of suggestion is what my doc calls it. My boyfriend noticed almost immediately my mood swings, I thought I had the flu, I cry all the time and last night, after 4 days of no sleep I planned out my own suicide in my mind, even what I would write in the letter to my parents and my new niece. I layed beside my boyfriend and convinced myself he was cheating on me, he was seeing someone else and I got up, woke him up and started throwing his clothes in the backyard. I have full blown anxiety attacks and cry all the time. I am sick on my stomach but starving at the same time, my head is splitting wide open and I am waiting on a call rom my doctor right now. I called in to work "crazy" today, thank God my boss is very understanding and I will never take this pill again in my life. This is scary and as I sit here now I'm still not sure how long this feeling will last

Have had a horrible reaction to Bactrim. Started with loss of appetite, body aches and headaches within a week of taking Bactrim. Progressed into fever and the chills by a week and a half but just thought I had the flu. After taking Bactrim for 13 days I started breaking out with hives on my face, neck and chest which later spread to my arms and legs. I was diagnosed with an allergic reaction to Bactrim, pumped full of iv fluids, steroids and anti-histamines once they figured out what was going on. I had a fever of 101-102 for over 4 days. I was dehydrated and had a low white blood cell count. I'll be taking oral steroids and anti-histamines for 5-6 days. Such a horrible experience, I'll be glad when I won't be on any more of these medications!

I am a 48 year old female who had just recovered from pneumonia and was prescribed avelox for a lingering sinus infection. Within hours after taking just 1 400 mg pill, I began experiencing a severe reaction. First there was a rash all over my body, with swelling and flushing all over. Then I became nauseated to the point of dry heaves and my temp went to 104 digress. My body then had neurological shakes, I could not control them -- just like Parkinson. I had no energy to move. My husband rushed me to the ER where I was treated with steroids, liquid benadryl, nausea medicine and IV fluids. After a few hours, I was released. Two days later, after another trip to the ER because of tingling, rash and no blood flow to extremities the same treatment was given. It has now been two weeks and I am just now feeling like I am coming out of this and getting back to normal. I have just spent over 10 days in bed, untold amount of money at ER and lost two weeks of my life.. BTW, the ER Doc said he would never prescribe Avelox to anyone due to the numerous reactions he has seen. If there is a class action suit, count me in.. Never let anyone take this drug..

I have been on remicade for 4 years. I never had any allergies until 6 months ago. I don"t have reaction to remicade it self but is it possible that remicade is creating all of this reactions to other drugs. First it was benadryl. I was given benadryl prior to remicade until 6 months ago after I got benadryl developed tremors, tachycardia and feeling very dizzy. All this prior to remicade infusion. I was treated with solucortef and IV fluids and it went away. 2months later I restarted taking paxil. 5 days into it, same symptoms but more severe and I ended in hospital. Lasted for about 5 hours. 2 months after that I took valtrex that I take as needed. Same thing. K dur 10 meq caused severe diarrhea. I am to the point that I am afraid to take any medication in fear of reaction. Could all this be caused by remicade. If I stop will it go away. Any suggestions?

Heres my Levaquin horror story:

In hospital for bowel obstruct. Took LevaQ. at home. 1/2 way through I noticed I wasn't feeling any better but worse while recovering. Starting sleeping for 3 hr intervals, while up I would feel as if I wanted to jump out of my skin. Calf pain. Dizziness. Intermittent instenseTingling around mouth and face. Called my MD.
I was put back in hospital due to a platelet count of 'one million'. My MD who is wonderful, consulted with others, even an oncologist. I refused a bone marrow aspiration, so they came up with a game plan -- possible reaction to the Levaquin???? So... 'flush out the Levaquin'. With each day of continuous mass flushing of IV fluids....my platelets decreased daily.
3 years later...I getting intermittent tingling, flu like symptoms, dizziness, heart palpitations, extreme fatigue-------------still looking for answers to my illness. Just had more blood work - lymphocytic profile was drawn, waiting on results. Definitely am anemic, chronic slight rise in liver enzymes with last sed rate and wbc count in norm range.

My daughter went for her yearly physical with our pediatrician. That morning we went in and the doctor insisted that she get immunized. Of course that immunization was Gardasil. My daughter felt fine and she was okay that day. After the doctors appointment she went on to school, and I went on to work to complete what I thought was to be a normal day. That afternoon I picked her up from school and she told me that she thought she may be getting sick. She complained of a stomach ache, and a mild headache. We went home and she ate very little, but told me and her dad that she felt better.
That evening she was to cheer at her first football game of the season in a neighboring town. She left with her best friend and her mother around 6 pm. at 8:44 that night her best friends mom called and told us that she had passed out at the game.
By the time that we had gotten there EMT's had taken her to the local ER, at that time she had barely regained consciousness, and her temperature was 103 degrees. Her extremities were cold, and her body was burning up. Her breathing was shallow, fast and irradic. Her pulse and blood pressure was extremely high. About an hour later the convulsions started.
After what seemed like eternity, the physician narrowed this down to the side effects of Gardasil. They started IV fluids, and meds, but still to no avail she kept convulsing. After a few days of heavily sedated sleep, she awoke to blurred vision, fever and nausea.
We were not told of any adverse reactions to this drug or we would have never given it to her!

My mom had fluorescein injection for retinal photography yesterday and in 5 min after injection she experienced flushing, dizziness, shaking, severe itching, trouble breathing and than pass out. Heart rate dropped to 20 and we end up in ER. Her BP was 200. She got IV fluids, and something for nausea . For the following 5 hours was in recovery in the ER with vomiting, severe nausea,shaking. Terrible experience and think twice before doing this injection!

I can definitely relate with guest #33291 and his experience with Singulair. Except my experience happened on the very first night I took Singulair. Went to doctor for sinus complaints. Gave me a decongestant and suggested I try Singulair since I have chronic sinus, thought maybe I had an asthma component, I guess. Supposed to take it before bed, which I did. After I took it I stayed up for a while and tried to wind down and watched T.V. After a while I, too, started to feel like I was having trouble breathing. Thought maybe it was in my head, stress, etc., and tried to go to sleep but couldn't. The breathing got worse and I felt like someone was sitting on my chest and like a tight band was closing around my throat. It was horrible. Luckily my son takes inhalers so I grabbed one of those which helped but not much. At 4:00 in the morning I found myself in the emergency room. Had to have labs, chest x-ray, steroid shot, iv fluids --- all to just conclude that this was an adverse reaction to the Singulair!! I actually thought I was having a heart attack at the time it happened as I am 34 years old and it was a possibility. I feel like complaining to the company as my free sample of Singulair cost me close to $500 out of pocket in the ER!

Reading some similar situations here leads me to conclude that Singulair is a nasty medication. I know that it works wonders for some, but for me it was horrible. I was actually looking for my 3 year old son. He was on Singulair for almost six months before I was. I had to take him off of it eventually because he was having ADD symptoms, restless and irritability. After experiencing what I did and my heart pounding, now I often wonder if his heart was racing too and feel awful!

I was taking Levaquin and Medrol Dospak for an upper respiratory infection in the beginning of May 2006. On the fourth day I became violently ill-vomiting and diarhea every twenty minutes, weak pulse, cold clammy skin, low blood pressure, dry mouth difficulty swallowing, muscles spasms and extreme weakness. I was taken to my doctors office where I was given IV fluids as I was dehydrated. All medications were stopped. I went home to try to recover from what I thought was the flu. I had muscle aches and started getting severe joint pain and burning in feet. My mouth was painfully dry ...back to dr. he said I might have Sjorgens Disease (autoimmune disease) and Reactive Arthritis. I have never had anything like that before. He recommended a Rhumatologist...that Dr. said to keep doing what I was doing with first Dr...I was trying despartely to find out what was wrong and get well as my daughter was getting married in June. These symptoms increased and the fatigue was awful. All blood tests were normal except for a slight elevation of CRP which shows inflammation. I still do not know what caused this and what to do about it. I have started to feel better regarding the finger and wrist and shoulder pain as I was prescribed pain medication and more steriods. The pain in the joints of the knees and ankles and toes is lessening. The fatigue is still there. The scary thing is I never thought it could be from a medication and right now I am again on Levaquin and Medrol Dospak for another upper respiratory infection....I am on my second day of meds and after reading this I wonder if I should contiue??

On Nov 29,04 during the last seven minutes of the MRI, I experienced swelling of my mouth ,throat, lips, Increased heart rate of 190 + Increased blood pressure , hot and beet red skin. drugs given to help were solumedrol, benadryl, IV fluids, and other medication also,ox was administered. I was transferred to the ER and monitered for several hours and I did respond to treatment quickly
This was an allergric reaction to the dye that is very rare .

there is treatment that can be used before hand. ask about it

Just had a fluorescein injection for retinal photography today and after the first 2.5 cc - before any pictures could be taken - I passed out. For the following 5 hours was in recovery in the ER with two bouts of vomitting, severe nausea, headache, vertigo and muscle weakness. Heart rate dropped below 45 and BP was elevated. Tx with IV fluids, Benedryl and something for nausea (wasn't told what it was). NOT a pleasant experience and WON'T be doing it again!

I am 43 years old, have had a tubal ligation but am taking Ovcon-50 for the first time because of endometriosis and frequent, very heavy, periods. I am now three weeks into the first month, and have been experiencing fatigue, interrupted sleep/vivid dreams, nausea, irritability, dizziness and dehydration (I've had to have IV fluids at an Urgent Care facility twice in the past week). Is any of this normal with the use of this drug? I don't want to stop it yet because I want to see how it affects my menstrual cycle, which has been a nightmare. However, these symptoms are serious and I am wondering if it is due to the drug. My PCP has gone on vacation, so I am kind of stuck right now.
